    "content": "Allow me to move onto the IPPs factor and mention that they generate electricity using various technologies: geothermal, hydro, solar and wind. They enter into long-term contracts with KPLC which run from 20 to 30 years. The single off taker which is KPLC is mandated by law, through the agreements, to take or pay for the capacity of the power plant. When I say take or pay, it means whether we take it or not, we have to pay. My further research moved me to realise the prices that we get from KenGen and IPPs. This was a shocker to learn that at KenGen, we buy one unit of electricity at Ksh5.30. On the other hand—the IPPs, especially the thermal producing ones—sell to us a unit of electricity at Ksh195. This answers the cost of our electricity bills."
