• KAM is Kenya’s representative organization

for manufacturing Value Add industry

• Established in 1959

• Owned and run by members – 700

• Offices in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru,

Eldoret, Athi River and Thika


Centre for Energy Efficiency & Conservation (CEEC)

• KAM in conjunction with the ministry of energy established Centre for

Energy Efficiency & Conservation.(CEEC)

• CEEC runs energy efficiency and conservation programs.

• They include Energy Audits, Energy Management trainings and Energy

management Award programme to recognize companies that have

excelled in energy efficiency and conservation.

Note: So far over 120 companies audited resulting in reduced demand of

energy equivalent to 16MW and saving around Kshs 1.6 billion.


a.Energy Audits• An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy (Electricity,

Fuels..etc) flows for energy conservation in a process or system.

• Aims to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively

affecting the output(s).

• Typical saving potential in facilities is 15-30%

Energy audits designed to help companies:

• Identify energy wastage,

• Determine saving potential

• Give recommendation on measures to be implemented.


b.Benefits• Cost reductions through efficient use of energy

• Reduced maintenance cost

• Reduced exposure to fluctuating energy supply and prices and blackouts

• Improved reputation with customers and society thorough environmental

protection.

• Reduction of regional and national energy demand;

• Help in Creating an Energy Management Team and establishing Energy policy

• Improved employee motivation, health and safety

• Compliance with legislation and ISO 14001 targets.


2.Kenyan energy scenario• We perceive the energy sector to be struggling to keep pace with the economic

boon.

• The gap created by low generation capacity is quickly filled by emergency

generators.

• The fuel cost component is driving electricity cost to levels never witnessed before

in this country and indeed the region.40 % or more of cost goes to fuel adj.

• The impact of this to the economy is evident negative effect.

• Cost of goods are rising and inflation has crossed the 16% level.

• Where are we headed?

3.Energy at water and waste water industry

• Water infrastructure, globally, use large amounts of energy to operate.

• Providing reliable water and waste water services is a highly intensive

energy activity.

• As a consequence of the rising cost , many water and waste water

companies require to develop energy management strategies and

implement energy conservation measures.

• Equipment upgrades and operational modifications should be

incorporated to a comprehensive energy review and management

strategy.


Typical efficiency measures in water pumping system

• Select the right pump size but incase of over designed pump already installed , provide variable speed drive,

• Install soft starters and PF correctors especially for big loads

• Downsize / replace impeller or replace with correct sized pump for efficient

operation.

• Operate pumps near best efficiency point.

• Modify pumping system and pumps losses to minimize throttling.

• In multiple pump operations, carefully combine the operation of pumps to

avoid throttling

• Replace old pumps by energy efficient pumps


4.The Regional Technical Assistance Programme (RTAP) facilitated by KAM

• RTAP to Finance viable Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy

Efficiency (EE) investments in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

• Will provide support in undertaking feasibilities studies

• To finance bankable projects with up to 75% of the cost.

• Programme meant to provide soft loans with long payback

periods.


5.Way forward• KAM highly recommends that the various water service companies

prepare to undertake energy audits for their various facilities.

• KAM can facilitate that once data on production/service and energy

consumption is provided.

• KAM will also commit to make follow ups on the various audited facilities

to assist in implementation

• KAM will also provide information on the various training courses to be

offered next year. Stakeholders should attend the relevant ones.
