OVERVIEW OF THE PLANThe grid network development and maintenance plan forms part of the Kenya Power 5-Year Corporate Plan
by operationalizing the strategic initiatives and providing details of the specific projects or programs to
be implemented yearly to ensure adequate power supply. It provides a detailed power supply value chain
with activities that centre on the committed, planned, and future electricity generation, transmission, and
distribution projects. In summary, the document is arranged as follows:
i. Load Forecasting This encompasses the review of load forecast assumptions, pertinent variables, historical data set and
methodology, taking cognizance of the future macro-economy.
ii. 5000+MW Generation Plan Discusses the medium-term planned generation projects under the 5000+ MW programme, the time
frame and the long-term requirements necessary to meet the growing national load at least cost. It also
includes a review of the expected energy mix that would be applicable with the introduction of the different
generation sources.
iii. Transmission Network Development Plan Provides a detailed summary of both the committed and future transmission projects including the regional
grid interconnection requirements. The projects are mainly developed by KETRACO as identified and planned
under the least cost power development plan.
iv. Distribution Infrastructure Development Plan The plan indicates the need for the company to invest in the distribution and transmission infrastructures
(66kV Network) for the short-term period of 2016-2021. The plan proposes the required system reinforcement,
upgrades and network expansion programme that ensures that the network is robust and reliable to transmit
and carry the load demands as and when it grows and more so with the injection of the new 5,000MW
generation.
v. Network Management Plan In a bid to ensure 100% network asset maintenance and automation, the Network Management strategic
plan has put in place plans to reinforce, upgrade, underground (based on economic viability and prudent
resource use) and refurbish the network. This is aimed at reducing the interruptions per 1,000 index, increased
customer satisfaction and a well maintained network.
Other plans that are linked to this strategic plan although not part of the plan include the Least Coast Power
Development Plan, 5,000+MW Power Development Plan, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Strategic Plan
and the Vision 2030 Medium Term Plan.

1. DEMAND FORECASTING
1.1 IntroductionDemand for electricity energy has been increasing steadily since the year 2004 due to accelerated economic
growth leading to improved industrial and commercial activity. Kenya‘s peak demand increased from 899MW
in 2004/05 to 1,585MW in 2015/16, while the number of electricity consumers increased fivefold from
735,144 in 2004/05 to 4,890,373 in June 2016. The effective installed capacity is 2,341 MW where hydro
accounts for about 35 percent of the total generation. The network has undergone tremendous expansion
and improvement and the LV reticulation has greatly expanded to reach more households. In its quest for the
socio-economic transformation of the country, the Government has set the goal of electrifying 70 percent of
households in 2017 and universal access to electricity by 2020.
The load forecast is used to shape the power sector expansion program. It will determine future requirements
for both the capacity (in MW) and energy (in GWh) for planning a supply system capable of matching demand
and the future generation and transmission investments.
1.2 General approach The Model for Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) was used for energy demand forecasting in this update.
The forecast considers population evolution in terms of urbanization. Several assumptions have been made
in the estimation of the demand forecast as follows:
• Commercial industrial consumption has used ratios significant to the counties commercial
consumption in the past year.
• Future economic expansion and its impact on electricity consumption has been incorporated in the
demand forecast through the linear correlation of electricity consumption and the GDP growth rate.
A factor of 1.5 percent is used to impact on the commercial and industrial consumption.
• A GDP growth rate of 5.7 per cent was assumed since this is the current target of Vision 2030
medium term plan for year 2016.
• The number of households as well as the electrification rate has been factored in the load forecast
i.e. Government intention to connect 70 per cent of household by 2017 and universal access in 2020
• Street lighting growth in the counties has also been considered in terms of increased electricity
consumption.
Three demand scenarios were developed based on assumptions which were defined to reflect both current
and future economic and social outlook in the vision 2030. The low GDP forecast reflected a pessimistic
case while the high scenario gives an optimistic case based on the vision 2030 aspiration while the reference
scenario was the middle ground between the two scenarios.

1.4 Current Energy Demand Status Peak demand had reached 1,586MW by June 2016 and is expected to rise to 2,864MW in 2021 under normal
growth scenario, including 30MW export to Rwanda. Peak demand in 2021 would be equivalent to 42.6% of
the projected installed capacity. Total system generation capacity is targeted to reach 6,670 MW in 2021 if
there are no slippages in completion of dates of committed projects. However, under the deferred growth
scenario that takes account of the likely project delays, total installed capacity would be expected to reach
5,024MW. The peak demand is expected to grow as a result from the following:
• Normal demand growth linked to growth in the national economy and to major new industrial and
commercial investments
• Vision 2030 flagship projects: namely the ICT Park, light rail, standard gauge railway, Port of Lamu,
new pipeline pumping stations, resort cities and iron smelting industry
The trend in Generation Capacity and Peak Demand from the past, present and projected future up to year
2021 is shown in Figure 1.1 below.

2. GENERATION PLAN
The Government formulated a 40-month target to expand the power generation capacity by 5,000+ MW. The
additional capacity was deemed necessary for various reasons which include:
• diversification of the generation mix
• reduce power tariffs through addition of least cost generation projects
• avoid overreliance on hydropower
• availing adequate capacity and reserve margin
In the Government formulated generation expansion plan a total of 5,098MW of new generation capacity was
planned to be built in the period July 2013 to December 2016. However, after review of the implementation
progress by late 2015, this plan is now envisaged in the Medium Term Power Development Plan to be
completed by 2020/21. Total system generation capacity is targeted to reach 6,670 MW in 2021 if there are
no slippages in completion of dates of committed projects.
The MTPD also provides for a deferred growth scenario that takes account of the likely further project
delays. Under the deferred growth scenario total installed capacity would be expected to reach 5,024MW.
The capacity factor of the system would range between 38% and 51%, and average 43% over the period.
This ambitious growth as compared to the past is based on a development model that is transformative
as opposed to incremental. The model relies on the assumption that new large scale investments in the
economy will occur if suitably supported by available infrastructure. Despite higher risk of idle capacity in
the short term, the transformative generation development approach will allow single projects to cater
for incremental demand growth over a longer span of time and will allow for larger size generation plants
to be developed that would be more economic and cost efficient in the long term.
The new additional generation capacity reflects an annual average capacity growth of 17% in the deferred
growth scenario, as compared to 8.9% annual average growth in the past 5 years. Kenya Power, as the
generation off-taker will be engaged in procuring power from 34 new power stations as well as supporting
the government’s effort to stimulate power market peak demand growth to absorb the new capacity.
As a result of the 5,000+MW plan the average generation tariff was targeted to fall from US cts/kWh 12.5 in
2014/15 to US cts /kWh 7.4. However, based on revenue requirements for the committed new power plants,
in 2021, the attained generation tariff is estimated to be 11.44USc/kWh. Additional power plants are not
sufficiently reducing the overall cost of power, as the overplanting and underutilized capacity is not covered
by adequate revenue growth. The tariff will reduce only when generation is closely matched by demand
growth.
The company’s generation procurement that is completed to date under the 5000+MW plan is shown Table
2.1 below. The Generation Expansion Medium Term Plan list of committed projects likely to be realized in
the period 2015 to 2020 is shown in Table 2.3. A summary of the ongoing generation procurement including
PPA negotiations currently in progress is shown in Table 2.4. Table 2.5 shows a summary of the status of the
proposed and ongoing Feed in Tariff projects, while Table 2.6 gives the KPIs expectations that would be
associated with implementation of the generation procurement plan.

19 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
3. TRANSMISSION NETWORK PLAN
3.1 Introduction The transmission expansion plan aims to provide an additional 3,178MVA of transmission substation capacity
and 3,325kms of new transmission power lines over the next five years that will serve the increasing demand
and customer growth. The new lines will provide the vital link for the evacuation of power from the additional
generation sources under the 5000+MW plan and improve the power quality and stability across the network.
Some of the transmission development strategies being implemented to maximize expected benefits from
the projects include:
i. Develop the power system to operate under N-1 criteria
ii. Extend scope of SCADA system to monitor and control more sub-stations and equipment.
iii. Fast track ongoing projects
iv. Comply with transmission system maintenance schedules
v. Increase line carrying capacities as necessary
vi. Convert single circuits to double circuits where applicable
vii. Dedicated supply for heavy Industrial loads
KPLC and KETRACO are working closely in implementation of transmission projects for evacuating power
from ongoing generation projects and others for transmission capacity enhancement. Some of the recently
completed transmission lines include 30km 132kV Thika-Gatundu, 77 km 132kV Kilimambogo – Thika –
Githambo and 328km 220kV Rabai-Malindi –Garsen –Lamu. Kenya Power will lease and maintain the new
transmission lines developed by Ketraco. Table 3.1 provides a summary of the projects under implementation
while Tables 3.2 and 3.3 show the transmission projects at contract award/procurement stage and Projects
at Preparation/Financing Stage, respectively. Table 3.4 shows the status of the transmission lines associated
with the flagship 5000MW additional generations project and the status of other high priority projects for
the Government.
3.2 Regional Power Trade ProjectsThe Ethiopian Electric Power Company and Kenya Power have a PPA for export of 400 MW to Kenya through
a 500kV HVDC line spanning over 1,100 km. The line is currently being developed by KETRACO on the Kenyan
side and it is expected to be commissioned by 2018. Kenya Power has signed a Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) with the Rwanda power utility Rwanda Energy Group Limited (REG) for export of 30-50MW through
the Ugandan transmission line although at the initial stage, only 10-15MW will be exported due to transmission
constraints along the Uganda line. The sale take effect through the three entities’ already interconnected
transmission grid, following the signing of a wheeling agreement between Kenya Power, Uganda Electricity
Transmission Company Ltd (UETCL) and REG. A new line being built between Kenya and Uganda will increase
capacity transfer capability, while additional capacity enhancements are required in the power transmission
system of Uganda for delivery of the power to Rwanda.

3.3 Extension of Transmission lines to connect current Off Grid Stations The Distribution Master Plan indicates an economic case for extension of the grid to Lodwar, Marsabit, Wajir,
Habaswein and Hola. These sites will be interconnected to the grid through extension of the transmission
network. Transmission projects that will bring currently off-grid stations into the interconnected network in
the plan period are shown in Table 3.4 below

3.4 Major Power Hub at SuswaThe upcoming Substation at Suswa is designed and located strategically to be a major hub within the
GRID networks of the Eastern African region and beyond. The substation is meant to play a critical role in
enhancing power reliability, quality and security for a conducive business environment and better lives for
the people in the Region. There will be high inflows of power from diverse generation centres including Gibe
in Ethiopia, Olkaria geothermal, Loiyangalani wind, among others. Outflows of power from Suswa will feed
Nairobi City County, onward export to Tanzania and beyond through a southern corridor. There will also be
interconnectivity with East African countries towards the western flank. Already the implementation of a high
capacity HVDC line from Ethiopia to Suswa is ongoing and will deliver power from huge generation capacity
in Ethiopia to Kenya and beyond, through this important hub. Also the implementation of the Olkaria –
Lessos – Tororo line is ongoing, providing supply corridor towards the western flank of East Africa. The
Suswa - Isinya - Arusha line will link Kenya’s national Grid to the Southern Africa.
Suswa Substation is not only strategically located near Kenya’s biggest load centres around Nairobi City
County, but also a key pillar in the greater Nairobi high voltage ring circuit. The HV ring circuit around Nairobi
will provide flexibility in supply sources, enhanced system redundancies for stability and security of power
supply to industry, businesses, important facilities and residences. The interconnectivity of the region through
Suswa will enhance supply stability and security for a more competitive Eastern Africa region. The substation
will therefore serve as an entry and exchange point for geothermal, wind and hydro-generated power into the
Kenya’s National Grid and Regional GRID networks.
25 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
Infrastructure development involving the construction and upgrade of distribution substations across the country for increased capacity, loss reduction and quality supply
26 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
4. DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
4.1 Distribution Development PlanDistribution master plan is based on a projected maximum demand of 2,864 MW by 2021 consistent with the
analysis in the Power Sector Medium Term Least Cost Power Development Plan, 2015-2020. The plan takes
account of the additional demand expected to arise from the Vision 2030 Flagship Projects that would have
been completed.
4.2 Objectives Infrastructure development in the planning period aims to address three major strategic objectives
i. Improve quality of supply.
This is to enhance customer satisfaction and to maximize productivity in the country by minimizing
power supply interruptions experienced by customers.
ii. Reduce technical losses.
By enabling a greater percentage of energy purchased from generators to be converted into sales,
the gross profit margin will increase by an amount equivalent to one percent of total revenue for
every percentage point reduction in losses.
iii. Expand the network.
Expansion and upgrade of the distribution substation capacity and power lines is necessary to
absorb and distribute the 5,000+ MW of new generation that will come in to the system in the
medium term planning horizon. This expansion is also necessary to meet the goal of universal
access to electricity by 2020.
4.3 Strategies The company will use the following strategies to achieve these objectives:
i. Automate existing and new networks by integration of new and existing substations to the SCADA
(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system and installation of automatic load switches to
reduce operational costs.
ii. Increasing electricity connections country-wide both rural and urban areas. This is through the
Kenya Power and Lighting Company under the Kenya Electricity Expansion Project (KEEP), The Last
Mile Project and GPOBA (Global Partnership for Output Based Aid) project.
iii. Modernise Power generation to incorporate renewable energy to reduce cost of producing electrical
energy under the Kenya Electricity Modernization Programme (KEMP).
iv. Reduce technical losses by upgrade and expansion of the existing system.
The distribution plan entails construction of 116 new distribution substations totalling 2,809 MVA with 1,244
kms of associated 66 and 33KV lines, 20 new bulk supply substations and installation of a total of 336.5MVAR
reactive power compensation equipment in 15 transmission substations. The plan further recommends
upgrade on several parts of the network as enumerated below:
a) Existing Distribution & Bulk Supply substations were identified for upgrade between Financial Year
2016 - 2021 with a project increase in capacity of 2,473 MVA.
b) 38 Existing distribution substations were identified for Reactive Power Compensation between FY
2014/2015 and 2017/2018.
27 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
c) The load growth in these substations will be closely monitored so that upgrades and reactive power
compensation are implemented on timely basis.
d) These strategies and initiatives are expected to ensure that the grid network system is stable reliable
and efficient. In particular the following key outputs are expected over the planning period.
Automate existing and new networks
Increasing electricity connections countrywide
Modernise power generation
Reduce technical losses

4.4 Investment required over the planning period The distribution plan indicates the need for the following investment in the distribution and transmission
infrastructures for the short term period of 2016-2021. Table 4.2 shows the proposed investments. The study
identifies and proposes the need for approximately (88) 66kV and 33kV distribution projects beyond those
that are already committed or under construction. The estimated investment required for the 66kV and 33kV
projects over 2015-2020 period is USD 120,437,233 as indicated in Table 4.3 below:

Network modernization and automation to improve reliability and quality supply. Expansion of SCADA across the network and introduction of smart meters
45 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
5. NETWORK MANAGEMENT
5.1 Background and ObjectivesThe Network Management Strategic Plan has identified distribution automation, improved load management,
undergrounding* and network reinforcement and refurbishment as the key factors likely to impact positively
on the power market and on operations of the company during the planned period.
The objectives are:i. Supply Quality Improvement by way of
• Implement Distribution Network Refurbishment projects in the Short Term
• (Trace clearance, S/Stns, sags repairs, LV works repairs, Re-alignments, etc.)
• Implement Distribution Network Refurbishment projects in the Medium
• Term (HT poles replacements, re-conductoring, feeder switchgears, redundancy and interconnector
projects, etc.)
ii. Improve reliability by
• Reducing interruption/1000 customers from 9.22 to 6.9 in 2021
• Implement Distribution Live Line work
• Implement Distribution Automation
5.2 Supply Quality ImprovementThis will be achieved through the implementation of Distribution Automation on the distribution grid, live line
maintenance work and the undergrounding of MV + LV feeders. The benefits of these initiatives will include:
• Improved load management and power quality.
• Decreased technical losses in the distribution systems.
• Improved Customer Services and reliability indices (SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI).
Enhanced and optimized asset utilization by reducing maintenance and related repair costs.
46 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
DistributionAutomation Table 5.1 Projected Cost of Automation on the distribution network
Financial year Project Projected cost (kshs. Millions)
2015 / 2016 Nairobi 600
2016 / 2017 Kisumu 500
2017 / 2018 Nakuru 400
2018 / 2019 Thika 400
2019/2020 - -
2020/2021 - -
Total cost 1,900
Distribution automation will be achieved through:
• Installation of a modern robust and integrated Distribution Management System (DMS).
• Installation of different types of sensors on feeders, transformers and distribution substations.
• Installation of metering on transformers and feeders.
The progressive percentage of the equipment on the network to be automated is shown in Table 5.2 below
Table 5.2 Planned Progression of Automation
Installations to Automate 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21
Air Break Switches (11kv 33kv) 50% 70% 80% 100% 100%
RMUs 40% 70% 80% 100% 100%
5.3 Integrated Grid Modernization ProjectThe project is expected to automate the existing distribution power grid in select areas within Nairobi in a
bid to provide reliable, quality, affordable and sustainable energy services to Kenya Power customers. The
project will take an integrated approach in the implementation of the various distribution, metering and
telecommunications technology initiatives that are currently approved and independently taking place within
the divisions of Network Management, Customer Service and ICT to make the Kenya Power distribution grid
strong and smart. The integrated approach will address:
• The requirements of the approved CBD undergrounding* projects.
• Improve services to large power customers.
• Smart metering of transformers and feeders to enable energy balancing.
• Smart metering of SMEs and large domestic customers.
• The requirement for an enterprise mission critical data center by ICT to meet the ever growing data
storage and management needs for the company.
• The business requirements of the telecommunications business unit of extending fibre optics to the
home through FTTH.
47 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
Automation of the grid to improve transmission and sub transmission substations and feeder management
will involve the following:
• Replacement of ordinary (air break) switches with high capacity (load break) switches
• Automation of equipment at primary substations for faster supply restoration
To avoid extra implementation costs this project will be implemented alongside the Undergrounding* of
11kV Feeders project. Major benefits will include energy loss reduction, operational cost reduction and new
revenues from telecommunications services. The total project investment cost is estimated at USD 235
million, which will be associated with a benefit to cost ratio of 4:1 over a 20 year period.
*Undergrounding will be limited to an economic assessment (cost- benefit analysis and alternative resource use) and where way leaves prove to be difficult and restrictive.
5.4. Undergrounding of overhead HV, MV + LV network to eliminate 3rd party interference with the lines.As the CBD moves into areas such as Upper Hill and Westlands, it is necessary that the distribution network
in these areas be undergrounded so as to improve supply quality and reliability in these areas. This initiative
will be achieved through;
• Undergrounding of key priority feeders within urban areas.
• Installation of Ring Main Units (RMU) with automated switch gear.
• Installation of Compact Substations (CSS) with transformers and telecommunications.
The projected plans and costs are as given in Table 5.3 below;

*Project cost for undergrounding is not yet funded.
Distribution Network reinforcementAs the distribution network expands, the network requires reinforcement involving:
Uprating conductors
• Uprating overloaded / faulty transformers
• Upgrading low voltage network to create more capacity
• Re-siting transformers and creating new ones to improve supply quality
48 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
This activity shall be enhanced in the coming years as more customers are connected to the network,
according to the projected plans.

5.5 Boresha Umeme Program The Boresha Umeme program was rolled out in early 2014 with the aim of ensuring the network serving
major customers as well as areas with repeated poor supply quality issues are given priority in a focused and
thorough maintenance effort that pools resources to one locality.
To date the Boresha Umeme campaign has been implemented in over 40 areas spread across the country
covering major cities and towns, economic zones, high load growth areas and major residential areas. The
program has led to significant improvement in sales in the areas served as a result of reduced power supply
interruption incidences. This program will continue to be implemented in the plan period.

51 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
Undergrounding of electricity network in Nairobi and Mombasa to reduce losses and improve reliability
52 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
5.11 Network Loss Reduction initiativesLoss reduction is a key strategy as this will result into improvements in revenues. The objective is to reduce losses
from 19.4% in 2015/16 to below 10% by 2020/21. The following initiatives are planned over the next 5 years:
i. Reactive power compensation through installation of capacitor banks
ii. Reconfigure heavily loaded MV feeders and add HV / MV substations near load centres
iii. Reconductoring medium voltage as well as low voltage networks
iv. Attend to MV / LV housekeeping activities to include durable joints / cable terminals, etc.
Table 5.10 captures the planned budget for these activities.

TOTAL 10,910.0
1. GIS Data gathering & re-design of meter reading itineraries to align with Feeders and DTs - To capture and
correctly link the entire network and customers’ accounts into the GIS system. This provides a data bank
for other systems that include EBM. Current meter reading routes are based on geographical boundaries;
hence not easily usable in energy balancing.
2. Large Power Outdoor Metering - This project objective is to relocate all the large consumer metering
points to outside customer premises for exclusive management by KPLC.
3. Meter Data Control Centre (MDCC) & Smart Metering rollout - The MDCC will be managing meters just
like the National Control Center. Smart meters will send alarms to the MDCC from where teams will be
promptly directed to attend to the alarms. The MDCC also will aid fault location under O&M activities
53 THE KENYA POWER AND LIGHTINING COMPANY LIMITED
4. Feeder Metering - We intend to complete the metering of all the approx. 1000 distribution feeders that
originate from our primary substations country.
5. Border Point Metering (Regions) - Due to restructuring of the regions and counties to follow administrative
borders, it has become necessary to border at points where feeder cross over to get the exact energy
delivered to a given Region.
6. Smart Metering Pilot Project – Project to install smart meters for domestic and small commercial customers
consuming above 500kWh/Month. Pilot project targets 9,900 accounts.
7. Energy Balance Module - EBM does both Horizontal and Vertical Balances. The scope of project also
involves developing GIS-EBM interface to enhance a graphical presentation and capacity to flag areas with
losses beyond threshold.
8. Reactive Power Compensation Schemes - Following studies from EIU, Capacitors are to be placed on
approx.100 No. 11 KV feeders for reactive compensation.
9. Border Point Metering (Counties) - After metering regional border points, it will be of interest for each
region to know the losses contribution by each specific county.
10. Distribution Transformers (DTs) Metering - We Project to meter all 50,000+ DTs and link connected
customers’ meters correctly. This will enhance through measurement the identification and prioritization
of loss reduction activities.
The above alongside other initiatives under Customer Service and Network Management divisions will enable
the company reduce both technical and non-technical (commercial) losses top below 10%.
6. CONCLUSIONThe national power generation capacity expansion programme for the period 2016-2021 should be implemented
to ensure the projected demand is supplied adequately. The capacity added should be sequenced to closely
match system demand requirements for least cost power supply to consumers. Electricity demand creation
should be stepped up to avoid underutilization of capacity, stranded investments and high electricity tariffs
as the 5,000+MW plan is added. The deferred scenario provides a comparatively low cost system expansion
strategy compared to the Base Case. It is therefore recommended that a total of 1,795 MW of the committed
capacity addition projects be added after 2020. Thorough analysis and review of load growth factors and
possibilities should be undertaken so as to inform decisions on sizing and sequencing of generation capacity
expansion, for improved generation capacity factors and to avoid high overall unit cost of electricity. There is
need to plan demand creation beyond the borders for export of power.
This Grid Development Plan has explained the short term (2016-2021) 66kV and 33kV distribution network
reinforcement and expansion plan that was developed for each of the KPLC’s regions. The plan has
identified the proposed 66kV and 33kV projects that are required beyond the committed and proposed
as per Distribution Master Plan 2012-2017 projects. The need for additional BSPs and reinforcement of
existing substations in order to support the distribution network has also been identified. Across the
network, a total of 105 projects are proposed for completion by 2020. These include 66/33kV lines, new
Primary substations, new BSPs and capacitor compensation. An estimated grand total investment cost of
these projects is USD 209,463,658.
