of 33MW. Feasibility studies are on-going at 14 other sites and will be expanded to cover otherareas and the results used for capital mobilization for development of the sites. As at 2013, onlya few schemes had been developed as stand-alone systems or to feed to the national grid.3. By the end of 2013, more than 260 small hydropower sites had been identified but the largestnumber of sites are found in the Tana River drainage basin, mainly in the counties of Kirinyaga,Muranga, Meru and Tharaka Nithi.4. Figure 3.2 is a map showing the locations of small hydropower sites as appraised by MoE (dotsin green colour) as well as a summary compilation from various studies (dots in red colour). Ascan be seen, the potential for small hydropower sites is mainly located in counties that havehigh population density and high energy demand.Figure 3.2: Small Hydropower Schemes3.3.2.2 Challenges1. The upsurge in demand for electrical energy from 2004 has revealed an exciting potential forgrowth in and exploitation of the small hydros subsector. This has led to emerging challengessuch as:(a) Destruction of catchment areas threatens long term viability of small hydro power projects.(b) Inadequate financial resources and technical personnel for carrying out feasibility studiesand development of sites.(c) Inadequate hydrological data.50 NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY FINAL DRAFT NOVEMBER 2013
(d) Competing interests between developing the sites and usage of land and water resourcesby the concerned communities and institutions.(e) Inadequate technical capacity to design, construct, operate and maintain the projects.(f) Lack of facilities to match load demand with the electrical output.(g) Vandalism of electric power infrastructure.(h) Tariffs charged do not generate sufficient revenues to cover capital as well as operation andmaintenance costs of the projects.(i) Inappropriate standards, legal and regulatory regime.3.3.2.3 Policies and Strategies and Implementation Plan – Small HydrosPolicies and StrategiesSmall Hydros1. Promote protection of the environment, catchment areas and watertowers.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-2030 2. Provide incentives for public private partnerships and increase funding. 3. Promote small micro-enterprises through fiscal incentives to reducesmall hydro’s start up costs.4. The Renewable Energy Research Centre in the National Energy Instituteto collect hydrological data on small hydros.5. Create awareness and disseminate information on the benefits of smallhydros and its coexistence with other usages of the resource.6. Promote development of capacity and knowledge upon the youth, onusage of appropriate technologies.7. Provide incentives to promote the local production and use of efficientsmall hydro power systems.8. Formulate and enforce standards, legal and regulatory regimes for smallhydros.9. Develop small, mini, micro- and pico-hydropower capacities totalling50MW from various sites in the short term, 100MW in the medium termand 300MW in the long term. 3.4 BIOMASS3.4.1 Background1. Biomass is organic matter that can be used to provide heat, make fuel and generate electricity.Wood-fuel, the largest source of biomass has been used to provide heat for thousands of years.Many other types of biomass are also used as an energy source such as plant residue fromagriculture or forestry and the organic component of municipal and industrial wastes.
