Appisko: You import power from Uganda and export same power to Uganda hahahaha
I give up the n ur madness
We trade in power...that too much for your primitive west African brain.let say 100mw plant go down..we ask Uganda to give us power until it's up.. the same happens when theirs goes down.. we trade in surplus power.The same with Tanzania and soon Ethiopia .if all fails we turn on thermal generator plants.That is why load shedding is foreign word in kenya.WE ARE NOT GHANA THAT RELIES ON THERMAL PLANTS FOR DAY TO DAY
kikuyu1: Some of those outfits are heavy hitters, well CONNECTED with WB projects and global Anglo capital. Ghanaians will soon LEARN feck with these guys at your own peril! Not EVERYONE can be handled as cavalierly as the Naijjans chased them away in the 1980s "Ghana must go" episode. These negroes invaded Naij DURING the worst economic turmoil of the early Rawlings era and multiplied rapidly teaching the natives their own negative tendencies we've seen here countless times. THEY were given 2 hrs to FK OFF! They DIDN'T even get time to pack and wrapped up their ISHYT in typically homemade polythene bags STILL known as Ghana must go bags!
Industrial energy requirements aside, just residential alone.
1,600MW is nothing in Country of 48 million people
unless you're doing minning and heavy manufacturing you dont a lot of power.South Africa has 40,OOomw..and you know what 4 customers consumed 60% of power.In kenya 600 companies consume 80% of all power.Households don't consume power.That is why Nigeria is a real zoo because they can fix their problems easily .How much power do you need power bulbs, tv, fridge and computer...very little..check their ratings..you cannot even finish one unit...1kwh. One mining company blasting rocks can consume more power than all that.in Kenya most big manufacturers have their own power.tea companies uses firewood...every big manufacturer in Kenya has their own plant..to keep cost down..they import coal or used oil from south Africa and generate power
Just30: so Kenya is having planned maintenance in the entire country.?
Your madness know no bounds.
Kenya has no excess, it even goes to Uganda for 200MW
Stop repeating lies, you are not in an eco chamber.
We import and export power to Uganda and Tanzania...soon Ethiopia. Planned maintenance are for selected areas.i have been Nairobi since mid December...I can say total hours for two months that power has disappeared is not even 5hours..kenya is nearly as good as Europe in power(power has never went out) and better in internet. The same with water...although some areas have issues..
kikuyu1: That's why I respond much more selectively than I used to. You guys have spent the last 3 pages telling this genius where Upper hill is situated. Who does THAT!
Appisko: Why do you keep coming up with figures from ur arss.
Industry in Ghana accounts for about 25.3% of total GDP.[1] However, Ghana's industrial production is rising at a 7.8% rate, giving it the 38th fastest growing industrial production in the world[2] due to government industrialization policies
Dealing with ignorant folks.kenya industry is 35% of gdp..which 35b dollars. Kenya manufacturing is 10% the gdp
Outering - that serves eastland is done and dusted. Nigerian idiots finally completed enteprises road in Industrial area. The western bypass will make complete ring around Nairobi - about 150kms - the eastern and northern - need to be dualized. Ngong road from upper hill - all the way to Karen to Ngong is near complete in dualization. We are building serious interchanges and expanding upper hill roads.
Look at this upper hill via duct. Imagine completion of Nairobi expressway. Then Thika road fixed many rounds around CBD and upperhill.
Now we are - initially we were broke like Nigeria - but our economy generates nearly 1.5B dollars in taxes monthly - and we can borrow.
68816419: Nigga Kenya ain't building shit,kenya's Roads paved (% of total roads) in Kenya was reported at 14.3 % in 2010, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources
You get what you pay for. Thika road cost 400m dollars in 2010. It's just 40kms. Nairobi in 5yrs will have world class roads - with completion of expressway - by-passes and many interchanges - around upperhill.
