We have several, but they are not well managed, for instance, solar. We have the Rural Electrification Authority and the Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) which are supposed to manage green power and help us to produce extra power and probably, synchronise it to the main grid. If you look at the production levels, it is not enough for the consumption of this country to the level that we are able to minimise our bills. There is a lot of negative effect due to the high electricity bills. When we depend mainly on hydroelectricity, it means that we can only produce enough when there is sufficient rain, and that affects our production in our industries to the extent that every product that is produced in Kenya today is very expensive. We are not able to produce more because of the cost. The cost of living is very high. In my house, for example, if I have two or three gadgets that use electricity like an iron box and a water pump, it will cost me too much.
