Kenya Power Managing Director Joseph Siror recently revealed that the utility is forced to ration electricity whenever supply from wind and solar plants plummets to near zero, and thus creating a deficit that the hydro, geothermal plants and imports are unable to fully plug.
The admission signals a delicate state of affairs for a country that boasts of being a leader in renewable energy generation and being home to the biggest wind power plant, the 30 Megawatt (MW) Lake Turkana Wind Power Plant (LTWP).
