NOW THEREFORE the Senate resolves that- (a) The Standing Committee on Energy to undertake an inquiry into- (i) Contracts signed by IPPs, detailing the cost, capacity and duration of the contractual agreements and their implications on affordability of electricity in the country; (ii) Discrepancy in the cost of electricity sold to Kenya Power by KenGen, imports from Ethiopia and IPPs; and, (iii) The diversion of the electricity generated by Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) to the national grid, noting that Marsabit and Samburu counties are inadequately supplied. (b) The Ministry of Energy to come up with a policy framework aimed at- (i) Lowering the cost of electricity as a way of addressing the high cost of living; and (ii) Enhancing clean energy by switching to renewable sources of energy such as geothermal power, wind energy, among others as a way of reducing the carbon foot print."
