(d) Heightened vigilance by the IAEA and the international community has ensured recentnuclear energy research, development and use are increasingly for peaceful purposes andnot military use.4.3.5.5 Policies and Strategies and Implementation Plan – Nuclear ElectricityPolicies and StrategiesNuclear Electricity1. Transform through a primary legislation, KNEB to a promoter of thenuclear power programme.2. Develop a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for thedevelopment, regulation and utilization of nuclear energy for electricitygeneration including establishing nuclear energy regulator.3. Identify an operator for the nuclear power plant and establish any otherbody required for the development and operation of nuclear electricityprogramme..4. Establish a nuclear energy research centre within the proposedNational Energy Institute, which shall be responsible for RD&D ofnuclear energy technology and application.5. Provide funds for establishment and operation of nuclear electricityprogramme.6. Carry out pre-feasibility and feasibility studies to address all requisiteinfrastructure issues for the development of a nuclear powerprogramme.7. Commence on human capacity building programme for recruitment ofhighly knowledgeable and skilled human resource in nuclear energyand ensure continuous training in all relevant specializations requiredfor the support of the nuclear power programme.8. Ensure the country accedes and domesticates to key conventions,treaties and protocols to meet her international obligations necessaryfor the establishment of a nuclear power programme.9. Undertake extensive public awareness on the need for nuclear energy,engage stakeholders for support of nuclear power and also draw acomprehensive communication strategy.10. Identification of nuclear candidate sites followed by site evaluation,characterization and selection of feasible sites to be communicated toIAEA.11. Identification of vendors in nuclear energy technology, engagement inbilateral agreements and MOUs with vendor countries.12. Attainment of IAEA Milestone 1 (Ready to make a knowledgeablecommitment to a nuclear programme and Milestone 2 (Ready to invitebids for the first nuclear power plant).Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-203080 NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY FINAL DRAFT NOVEMBER 2013
Policies and StrategiesNuclear Electricity13. Bid for the first 2,000MW nuclear power plant(s) by 2017, commissionthe first 1,000MW nuclear plant(s) by 2022 and 4,000MW by 2030..14. The Government in the development of nuclear power shall collaboratewith IAEA and countries with nuclear power generation technology.Transform through a primary legislation, the KNEB to the NuclearElectricity Corporation charged with the core mandate of fast trackingand promoting nuclear electricity generation.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-20304.4 ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION4.4.1 Background1. The existing transmission network comprises 1,331 km of 220 kV and 2,436 km of 132 kV lines,and is interconnected with Uganda through a 132 kV double circuit line.2. As of June 2013, there were nine generation substations with a transformation capacity of 1846MVA and forty-five transmission substations with a capacity of 3,076 MVA.3. The existing transmission system capacity is severely constrained particularly during peakhours. The problem is partly due to inadequate reactive power in major load centres and alsotransmission constraints particularly in the Western and Nairobi regions.4. One of the recommendations under Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2004 was to unbundletransmission and distribution functions. This began in 2008 with the establishment ofKETRACO as a transmission entity.4.4.2 Extension of the National Transmission Network1. As part of its mandate, KETRACO is currently undertaking new transmission projects aimed atdeveloping a robust grid system to:-(a) Enable evacuation of the additional 5,000MW by 2016, which entails construction of the220kV Menengai – Soilo, 400kV Menengai – Rongai, 400kV Silali – Rongai, 400kV DongoKundu – Mariakani, 400kV Lamu – Kitui – Nairobi and the 400kV Isinya - Nairobi Easttransmission lines as well as the 400kV Kitui Substation.(b) Improve quality and reliability of electricity supply throughout the country by ensuringadequate evacuation capacity.(c) Reduce the cost of electricity to the consumer by absorbing the capital cost of transmissionlines since they will be fully funded by the National Government.(d) Provide interconnection links with the neighbouring countries in order to facilitate powerexchange and develop electricity trade in the region.(e) Reduce transmission losses that as of 2012 cost the country about US$ 17million per year.81 4.0 – ELECTRICITY
