Abstract

The power system in Kenya has grown from a series of small isolated stations serving limited areas to one comprising a large power grid. The total installed capacity has increased from1 10,314 kWe in 1938 to 102,214 kWe at the time of independence in 1963.2 It has 460,100 in 1978,3 while projected supply and demand for electricity in the year 2000 are anticipated to be 1,100,000 and 1,267,000 kWe, respectively, thus showing a deficit of 167,000 kWe.4
