Kenya is ahead in terms of technology and expertise.
And honestly, I think we are ripe even to start exporting this expertise to neighboring countries.
It is attracting big players.
And one of the reasons why it's attracting big players is because of the initial investments.
They're quite huge.
And if you look at Kenya as we speak, we have a fiscal constraint because of the debts that we have to service, the development projects that we've lined up.
Even the public sector does not have big money.
And the private sector, fragmented alone as single entities, may not raise enough capital.
So yes, it is attracting big investors because of the huge initial capitals involved.
But of course, once the plans are set up and they're running, we expect there to be long-term savings and that the cost of energy could come low in the long run.
Kenya has got partnership, both private...
and multilateral partnerships.
And it's all because there are possible win-win situations that require good policy to ensure that the country benefits and wins from all these contracts.
The question that everybody is asking is, does Kenya have enough energy for our own use?
And if it's not enough, how much is the deficit?
And if it's excess, how much is excess?
I think that's what everybody wants to know right from the beginning.
Does Kenya have enough energy?
The answer is yes and no.
Yes, because the installed capacity for Kenya's electricity is about 3,840 megawatts.
