4.4.6 Policies and Strategies and Implementation Plan – Electricity TransmissionPolicies and StrategiesElectricity Transmission1. The Government shall support open access of the transmission networktaking into account existing contractual commitments and provide amechanism for determination of wheeling charges applicable totransmission lines.2. The Government will establish the legal and regulatory mechanisms forcompetitive electricity market and further support regional integration of thepower system to enhance regional power trade.3. The Government will continue to fund the development of the nationaltransmission system to enhance affordability. The Government willcontinue to assist transmission licensees access credit to enhancecapacity, improve reliability and reduce losses in the networks.4. The Government will designate and provide, legal and institutionalframework for an independent system operator (ISO).5. Ensure adequate and timely national transmission infrastructure is put inplace including evacuation of electrical energy from early generationgeothermal plants.6. The Government to implement at least 3,900 km of new transmission linesby 2016.7. The Government to ensure transmission reliability by establishingredundancies in transmission system.8. Increase national and regional transmission network for full regional interconnection.9. National Government in collaboration with member states to provideinfrastructure and finance EAPP power market centre in Nairobi.Short Term2014-2017Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-20304.5 ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION4.5.1 Background1. The distribution network entails receipt of bulk supply of electrical energy from generation ortransmission network and transfer of this energy through distribution lines and distributionsubstations to consumers. The capacities of the distribution substations and distributiontransformers as at 30 th June 2013 were 2,800MVA and 6,195MVA respectively. The distributionlines comprised of 1,097 km of 66 kV lines, 16,136 km of 33 kV lines, 28,818 km of 11kV linesand low voltage lines. The distribution assets are owned by GoK, KPLC and REA.2. Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) improved from 4.28 hours in 2010/11to3.03 hours in 2011/12. KPLC aims at improving, this to 3 hours by 2013/14. Emphasiscontinued to be given to resolving repetitive breakdown cases to reduce the number ofincidences and improve repair time. The sharp increase in vandalism considerably contributed84 NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY FINAL DRAFT NOVEMBER 2013
to this worsening situation leading to a number of transformer failures and consequential poweroutages.3. The technical and commercial losses arising during the transmission and distribution ofelectricity are as provided in Table 4.6.Table 4.6 - Targeted Power System Loss Reduction Path2007/08(%)2008/09(%)2009/10(%)2010/11(%)2011/12(%)2012/13(%)2013/14(%)Total Losses 16.60 16.30 15.90 15.50 15.00 14.50 14.50Transmission losses 3.60 3.40 3.50 3.50 3.50 3.50 3.50Distribution losses 13.00 12.90 12.40 12.00 11.50 11.00 11.00Technical Losses 13.20 13.10 12.90 12.80 12.50 12.00 12.00Non-technical losses 3.40 3.20 3.00 2.80 2.50 2.50 2.50Projected Incremental Loss Reduction 1.30 0.30 0.40 0.40 0.50 0.50 0.00Source: KPLC Strategic Plan 2010/11 - 2014/154.5.2 Distribution Expansion Plan1. The objective of the ongoing Energy Access Scale-Up is to increase connectivity from 22% to30% by the year 2014. It involves expansion of the national power distribution grid to connectone million new customers in 5 years starting from 2009. The number of new electricityconsumers increased by 285,277 in 2011/12 and 292,337 in 2012/13.2. In addition, more projects have been initiated to enhance capacity, quality of supply and reducepower losses. These projects are expected to be completed during the medium term and coveramong others the following key areas:(a) Refurbishment of existing distribution network, establishment of new substations,installations of new distribution transformer, construction of new lines, implementation ofpilot distribution automation project.(b) Upgrade of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Energy Management System(SCADA/EMS).(c) Improvement of the Geographical Information System (GIS) utility database by completingthe digitizing and mapping of the grid network.(d) Implementation of customer service improvement programs including roll out of AutomaticMeter Reading (AMR) for large customers and pre-paid meters for small to mediumcustomers.4.5.3 Distribution Plan 2014-20301. Programme to supply the forecast LCPDP demand and improve reliability involves subtransmissionat 132kV and 66kV and the discontinuation of 33kV sub-transmission. Distributionto urban and rural areas will largely continue at 11kV and 33kV respectively.2. By the year 2020, capacities of primary and distribution substations, HV lines and MV linesestimates are 11,888MVA, 190,204MVA, 7,925km and 118,875km respectively. In the year85 4.0 – ELECTRICITY
