    "content": "Currently, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is powered through other means of energy and we want to use electrical power which will be very close to the SGR terminus in Mombasa. We are looking forward to Konza City which will also get its energy supply from the same place in Lamu. The main key players in this field are distinct as follows: under power generation we have the Kenya Electricity Generating Company Limited (KenGen), the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) and the independent power producers who are also important. Others involved in transmission and distribution are the Kenya Power Company (KPC), Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) and the Rural Electrification Authority (REA). For policy matters, the implementing institutions in the petroleum sub-sector include the Kenya Petroleum Refinery (KPR), the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) and the National Oil Company (NOC), among others, including the private sector. We had an opportunity to compare Kenya with other jurisdictions such as South Africa under a company called Eskom Tutuka Power Station which is South African electric public utility and its coal usage. Also two Members of our Committee visited Canada for purposes of comparison."
