Kenya capacity mix, 2014

● Around 32% of Kenya's installed capacity comes from oil. These plants were

commissioned in the 1980s and 1990s when diesel was relatively cheap. As

oil prices rose, other technologies such as geothermal (25%) and hydro

(38%) and more recently wind have been developed.

● Kenya plans to make clean energy a significant part of its ambitious 'Least

Cost Power Development Plan' which targets 22.7GW of capacity by 2033

● Capex for wind is still high in Kenya at around $2.6m/MW. This figure is

based on disclosed data from the Isiolo I wind farm. Recently a number of

other projects were financed, including the 310MW Lake Turkana wind farm.

● The country has good potential for small hydro as well as significant

geothermal resources (estimated at 10GW) which is to undergo a fast track

development plan by the government owned Geothermal Development

Company (GDC).

● Solar has struggled to gain a footing in Kenya despite the country’s feed-in-

tariff, as the rate offered has proven to be too low for project developers.

● Kenya has no proven domestic reserves of natural gas or coal however it

does have some existing natural gas capacity which suggests supply is

available.

● Uganda is rich in hydro resources, which has thus shaped its energy mix. However

the country has only 18% electrification.

● Small hydro – which currently accounts for 7%, or 66MW of installed capacity – is the

cheapest of the technologies assessed. This is due to relatively low capex and O&M

costs which reflect local experience. The country currently has around 60MW under

construction and a further 100MW in the pipeline. Small hydro could be the only

remaining hydro option when considering a 2008 report from Aldwych that suggests

the completion of the Bujagali and Karuma large hydro projects have exhausted the

larger scale options available outside the Murchison National Park.

● The same Aldwych report also mentions biomass as a feasible alternative to

expensive emergency oil generation capacity, citing the benefits of local fuel supplies

and an estimated $4.3m/MW capex costs (converted to $4.95m/MW in 2015 dollars).

Despite this, at $184/MWh, the cost of new biomass appears relative high on a

regional basis.

● Uganda has proven gas reserves, but no domestic production and no installed gas-

fired power capacity. Applying a low capacity factor of 55% due to uncertainty about

fuel availability, we estimate an LCOE for CCGT at $103/MWh.

● At $1.57/W, Uganda’s solar PV capex is one of the lowest in the region. This reflects

all-in bids by solar developers as low as $163.8/MWh. The country has around

72MW of solar PV in the pipeline.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Small-scale hydro can be more cost effective than utility-

scale renewables

Auction mechanism can generate competition amongst

developers and drive down cost

Carbon constraints or carbon pricing can increase lifetime

cost of fossil-fuel power plants

New utility-scale wind and solar PV are still more

expensive than coal and gas-fired power

MINI-GRIDS TRENDS

● Solar PV is rapidly becoming the main

generation technology in mini-grids

● Remote monitoring mechanisms are

crucial to keep costs in check

● Understanding what happens when the

grid arrives remains the single largest

challenge to financing

3. SUCCESSFUL POLICY CASES

CASE 1: RENEWABLE ENERGY AUCTION

56

Note: bids are reflective of lowest bid in each country. China’s auction programme is currently on hold but may be re-

introduced in the near future. Tenders have been used infrequently at a state level rather than nationwide in the US and

Australia. Dollar values are nominal and converted using exchange rate on the day of the result announcement. Source: Climatescope 2016

Auction can be an effective tool to reduce cost of

renewables

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Lowering risk can lead more developers to participate

auction

Rural electrification can be accelerated at achievable

cost through determined action.

Technical regulations that do not fit consumer

preference may need reconsideration.

SUMMARY

70

SUMMARY

● Utility-scale

renewables

A new utility-scale solar and wind projects are still more expensive than

thermal power projects. A lack of local experience and supply chain is a

major factor. Deployment experience with support of development banks

is a key to reduce LCOE. A small-hydro could be a cost effective option.

In auction programmes, lowering risks for developers is a key to

generate competition in market and to reduce cost. Rural electrification

can be accelerated at achievable cost through determined action.

Consumers are willing to pay premium tariffs for better energy services.

Simple technologies can generate fierce competition amongst market

players and lead them to deploy higher-valued products and services.
