Technical FAQs 4
How many mw can a Kenyan interconnection provide?
While the interconnection has a transfer capacity of up to 2,000MW, transmission system constraints in Kenya currently limit offtake to only 200MW. Urgent investments are needed to address reactive power deficiencies and increase transfer capacity in the Kenya system to reap the full benefits from the interconnection. 4.
What are the opportunities for utility scale battery energy storage systems?
There are opportunities for Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Two thirds of Kenya’s electricity is generated from renewable/clean energy sources. Of this, wind power accounts for 15% (435MW) while solar accounts for just under 2% of total installed capacity (51MW) with these numbers expected to continue to grow.
How much Bess is needed in Kenya?
KP believes that more than 480MW of BESS is required across different locations in the country, such as western Kenya, where there is inadequate transmission capacity at peak times as well as at substations along Kenya’s coast.
Where is the Suswa substation located?
The Suswa substation is located in rural Narok County which is home to the Maasai Vulnerable and Marginalized Groups (VMGs) who are the overwhelming majority in the county. The project site being a brownfield poses no adverse risks or impacts to the VMGs’ livelihoods, cultures or land.
