[...] The most popular is M-pesa money transfer system and these folk also give heaps of cash (via phone) to set up wells and other useful community initiatives. It works like this: the person making the purchase inputs passwords and the amount and the ‘bank’ responds by sending a serial number (code) and ‘withdraws’ the cash payable direct to the seller. Very simple. Wizzit is another system working the same way. Tulipe is the newest and a great story is here on John Karanja’s fantastic site of news about Kenya and Africa: [...]

Comment on Kenyan Wind farms: Why they could be another White elephant. by Cleophas Libendi

Dear Carlo,

I am writing in the hopes that you’re still answering questions posted on this blog regarding your project. A few questions for you:

(i) What does the recent announcement of a pull-out of government guarantees mean for your project timelines/project viability?
(ii) Is 3 years of wind data sufficient to compare the potential performance of LTWP to thermal sources for which there is operational data running for almost a century?
(iii) Has the KPLC department responsible for plant despatch confirmed that they would despatch the project once operational?
(iv) Once LTWP is fully operational, what would be the expected load loss due to outages? Is there an existing source of power in the grid that would make up for this potential load loss? If it doesn’t exist, what would it likely be?

Just a few questions that have arisen from your earlier responses.

regards,

Cleophas

Yeah Sam the writing is on the wall for the people, governments and businesses who are not yet to adopt technology…a case in point is the closing of the Kenya Cinema..they did not become innovative leading to them being put out of business for their boring and overpriced services..This is going to happen in other sectors too

Dear John and Carlo.

My sincere and heartfelt gratitude to you Carlo van Wageningen for your wonderful defence of the project. It is better for the nay sayers to hear it from the horses mouth than from others. I published a blog post on my blog about your project which I think addressed most of the issues but some of the politically oriented people were hell-bent to prove it’s a white elephant. Some of those complaining loudest about this project have done nothing to produce a single MW of power yet they also complain about blackouts.

Kenyans have to learn to read and analyse issues and do background research before criticising projects they know nothing about. John I thank you for stimulating debate on this topic but I think you should also have quoted some of the answers that I gave to Richard from Tucson Arizona. In any case Carlo has done me proud. I hope David will not reject cheap, green electricity coming to his house from LTWP by 2012 or will he?
