Its nice to read that we have Kenyans trying to make power cheaper. The problem is that we have a government that hasnt realised the potential of the wind as well as the solar power. Rwanda recently put up a solar plant and they are planning to have a 250KwH of power from solar. Thats what i call a vision. Eddy Njoroge is sleeping on his job now that GeoThermal will be carried out by another company. What a rip off to KenGen shareholders.
