    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, KPLC is a power utility company which signs what we call “Power Purchase Agreements” with power generating agencies, including KenGen, Emergency Power and the independent power producers. So, when such producers commit themselves by signing such an agreement, for example, Mumias Sugar Company commits itself to produce power at the rate contained in the agreement, they cannot complain. When they say that KenGen made a loss, it is okay because when they were signing the agreement, it was based on the hydro power plants which were generating about 724 megawatts. With the failure of rainfall on the Aberdare Mountains, we had a problem with hydro power production. I remember that last year, Masinga Dam had to be closed down, which impacted negatively on KenGen. They resorted to using Kipevu I and Kipevu II power plants which are run on diesel. I have said IBERAFRICA Africa generates about 100 megawatts of electricity using diesel, and AGGREKO, which is emergency power producer, which is part of what we bought last year, generates almost 250 megawatts. Rabai, which is a new project, generates about 65 megawatts. All these power producers are based on diesel. If you see"
