EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Objectives
Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) was appointed by The Kenya Power & Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) to conduct a
Distribution Master Plan Study to address the country’s distribution requirements up to 2030.
conduct a detailed assessment of KPLC’s distribution system requirements over the 2012-2030
planning period and develop a Distribution Master Plan and
undertake an environmental scoping study for the investments recommended in the short-medium term
(3-5 years).
Investment Requirements
The study indicates the need for the following investment in distribution infrastructure:
The study identifies the need for approximately 300, 66 kV and 33 kV distribution projects beyond those that are
already committed or under construction, for completion over the 2013-2017 period. The estimated investment
required for the 66 kV and 33 kV projects over the 2013 – 207 period is $ 149 million as indicated in Table E-1-1.
Details of the proposed projects are provided in the report.

Feeders (66 kV and 33 kV) Proposed 3,110 9,698 20,269 17,714 7,107 57,899
Table E-1-2 shows an estimated investment requirement in new BSPs and reinforcement of existing BSPs
(beyond the committed BSP projects) of $107 million over the 2013-2017 period. This is for the BSP substations
only and does not include the cost of transmission lines required to connect the new BSPs to the grid.
The above figures do not include investment at the 11 kV and LV levels. Due to the scale of these networks it
was not practical to model them in their entirety. The estimated investment costs at these voltage levels were
calculated based on representative 11 kV and LV networks. The estimated level of investment is shown in Table
E-1-3. and is considerably more than that required at 66 kV and 33 kV. This difference is primarily due to the
scale of the infrastructure at these voltage levels. The cost of all 33/0.433 kV and 11/0.433 kV distribution
transformers is included within these figures.
B. Long-term investment
The estimated long term annual investment in all distribution infrastructure from 66 kV to LV is indicated in Table
E-1-4.

Key Drivers
Development of the power sector in Kenya is underpinned by Vision 2030, which is Kenya’s development
blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. The objective of Vision 2030 is to help transform Kenya into a
“middle-income country providing a high quality of life to all of its citizens by the year 2030”. It identifies energy
and electricity as a key element of Kenya’s sustained economic growth and transformation.
The power sector in Kenya requires high levels of investment to ensure that the rapidly growing demand is
adequately met. Major investments are being made in generation and transmission, however for benefits to be
realised, similar levels of investment are required in the distribution sub-sector. It is essential that this investment
is carefully planned to ensure efficient use of scarce resources.
Under the new constitution, power will be devolved to each of the forty seven counties. This is expected to result
in more equitable sharing of resources across the country, with increased levels of investment particularly in the
more remote counties that have historically been neglected. There exist wide ranging levels of household
electrification across the country, from around 75 % of households in Nairobi County to less than 2 % of
households in Tana River County1. Electrification levels are increasing across the country and following
devolution, it is expected that the rate of increase will be highest in those counties that are currently poorly served
with electricity infrastructure.
The Distribution Master Plan includes a forecast of electricity demand for each of the counties and identifies the
distribution infrastructure required to meet that demand, whilst achieving acceptable levels of power quality and
reliability, based on well established principles of least-cost planning.
Approach
Throughout the period of the Master Plan Study, there was close collaboration between the PB team and the
KPLC counterpart team. The process as shown in Figure E.1 began with a detailed data gathering exercise at
central, regional and sub-regional level.

Including visits to industry
The scope of the study included provision of suitable software to conduct the detailed network analysis and to
provide an ongoing tool for KPLC to use in the future. Selection and procurement of the software was conducted
in parallel with data gathering.
This was followed by network modelling and assessment of existing network issues and constraints, leading to
short-medium term planning studies covering the period from 2012-2017. The network modelling and analysis
for the various KPLC regions was conducted in parallel in order to minimise the time required for these detailed,
data-intensive tasks.
1
Based on the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census Report
Apart from the network data and models, key inputs to the planning studies were; the demand forecast and the
planning and design guidelines.
Long term planning was based on the development of ‘generic networks’ to represent the different typical network
topologies, i.e. urban, rural, Nairobi and off-grid configurations. These were used along with the county level
demand forecast to determine the longer term investment requirements.
A key aspect of the Master Plan study was consultation at a county level. This was used to inform the
Environmental Impact Assessment scoping studies and also provided valuable insights into technical issues at a
local level.
The Master Plan study draws together the key aspects of the assignment which are briefly described below.
Counterpart Team
An important factor leading to the successful completion of the Master Plan Study was the appointment by KPLC
of a dedicated team of knowledgeable counterparts. The counterpart team was pivotal during the data gathering
stage and provided invaluable local knowledge during development of the short-medium term plans.
The assignment included an intensive three-week training course in the UK for the counterparts. This covered
most of the key aspects of the study and included hands-on training in the use of the network planning software.
Data Gathering
Data gathering was conducted at central, regional and sub-regional level. County level meetings were also held
as described below.
Initial data collection was conducted at KPLC’s central offices in Nairobi. This included centrally stored network
data and diagrams, relevant reports, branch sales data and relevant information from Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS). The initial data gathering stage was followed in April with data gathering at the regional and
sub-regional level. This was conducted in three teams, each comprising members from the PB and KPLC
counterpart study teams. The teams covered the various KPLC regions as follows:
Nairobi Region
Western Region
The data obtained in the regions and sub-regions was used to try to complete the many gaps in the data obtained
initially from the central offices. Most of the remaining gaps were resolved through collaboration with the KPLC
counterpart team, thereby minimising the number of assumptions that needed to be made with respect to the
network models.
Software Selection
The scope of the study included the procurement of a suitable software package, both for conducting the network
analysis during the study and for handing over to KPLC at the end of the study. Two potential software packages
were assessed and following a presentation by PB, KPLC chose NEPLAN.
County Visits
Stakeholder meetings were held within each of the 47 counties, in order to gather data for the EIA scoping study
and to understand key technical issues at a county level. County meetings were initially held in three ‘pilot’
counties. Following the pilot meetings, the agenda was refined and used as the basis for the remaining
meetings.
Demand Forecasting
The demand forecast contained within the Least Cost Power Development Plan (LCPDP) dated March 2011 was
used for the study. This was disaggregated to county level using a process that is described in detail in this
report. County demand growth rates were applied to the respective substations to determine substation
demands for the network studies. County growth rates were also used to determine investment requirements at a
county level.
Generic or typical network configurations were developed to derive average incremental investment costs ($/kW)
for the various network topologies; urban, rural, Nairobi and off-grid. The county demand growth rates were then
used to calculate long term investment requirements.
The investment required at 11 kV and LV was determined at a county level both in the short-medium term and
long term using the average incremental cost approach.
Conclusions
The main conclusions that may be drawn from the study are briefly described below.
The need for the projects is driven by the demand forecast which has been disaggregated to county level and
then applied to the individual substations across the network. The proposed projects should be considered to be
the minimum requirement to meet the forecast demand whilst complying with the planning criteria.
Across the network a total of approximately 300 projects are proposed for completion by 2017. These include
66 kV and 33 kV feeders, new and reinforced substations and reactive compensation. The estimated total
investment cost of these projects is $ 149 million. A further $ 107 million is required for new BSPs and
reinforcement of existing BSPs over the same period. The corresponding investment in the 11 kV and LV
networks is included in the overall investment plan described below.
Studies were conducted to assess the technical requirements and economic viability of extending the grid to each
of the off-grid areas. The studies include a comparison of the levelised cost of electricity for the grid connected
and off-grid options. The results indicate an economic case for extension of the grid to; Lodwar, Marsabit, Wajir,
Habaswein and Hola.2 These sites would be interconnected to the grid through extension of the transmission
network and therefore these projects are not included within the list of proposed distribution projects.
The scoping studies provide an initial assessment of the potential environmental and social impacts associated
with each of the projects currently proposed. The assessment has been based on desk study data used to
inform the county level baseline summaries as well as on feedback obtained from the in-county consultation
meetings. The impacts (and associated mitigation proposals) are necessarily high level since the exact project
locations and extents are as yet to be determined.
Based on the consultation feedback and high level assessments conducted to date, the negative impacts of
many of the proposed projects are expected to be minimal and the overall benefits of the projects are expected to
greatly outweigh the adverse impacts.
The EIA Scoping Report is intended to provide a basis for project-specific discussions with the relevant
authorities and stakeholders to help determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required
for each of the projects which come forward as part of the Distribution Master Plan.
The specific projects identified through detailed network studies only cover 66 kV and 33 kV network
requirements. The generic models were therefore also used to derive corresponding investments requirements
for the 11 kV and LV networks.
The total distribution infrastructure investment requirements for each county are provided in the report. This
includes estimated investment requirements for;

the specific proposed short-medium term (2013-2017) 66 kV and 33 kV projects. Note that this
excludes the costs associated with committed distribution projects,
the estimated 11 kV and LV investment required in the short-medium term based on the generic
models and
the total estimated distribution investment requirements in the long term (2018-2030), based on the
generic models.
The total annual investment in distribution infrastructure increases from $ 183 million in 2013 to $ 1.6 billion by
2030. The net present value of this investment at a discount rate of 12 % is $3.9 billion3.
Recommendations
Planning Data
During the data collection phase of this project it was observed that essential network planning data is not always
readily available. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the network planning process, it is
essential that improvements are made in the quality and accessibility of network and metering information
available to the planning department.
KPLC’s network database was found to be only 60-70 % complete and in many cases conflicts were found
between the database and network schematics. For effective planning, it is important that the database and
schematics reflect as closely as possible the state of the network.
The lack of consistent primary substation and feeder load information is a significant issue and one that should
be addressed in order to improve the planning process and assist with prudent investment decisions.
Coordinated Approach
Distribution planning by necessity should be done at the local level within each region. Knowledge of the local
conditions, customers, and the existing network are all vital to distribution planning engineers. However there
should be a similar approach throughout the KPLC offices, applying national standards and planning criteria.
Currently, there is a wide variance in terms of training, tools, experience, and methodology of distribution
planning across the regions.
Standardised Planning
Procedures should be implemented and regular training provided to ensure that they are widely understood and
applied. Additionally, feedback from all regions should be used to update the standards and guidelines as
necessary.
3
In money of 2012.
It is recommended that KPLC invests further in training for distribution planning and that this training is rolled out
to each of the regions.
It is recommended that KPLC expands the use of NEPLAN to distribution planning engineers throughout Kenya
and continues the development of the network models. They need to be maintained in a controlled centralised
manner, ensuring that all network changes are captured.
Controlling the use of network planning software models across the regions.
Design Manual
The new Design Manual is a draft document and should be reviewed by KPLC before using it for network design.
The existing DSGM is likely to have evolved over some considerable time and may in many respects provide
adequate guidance.
The new Design Manual covers a number of areas as described above, including aspects not covered in the
DSGM. It is recommended that the new Design Manual is adopted over time. Some aspects may be found by
KPLC to be more useful and applicable than others and therefore is suggested that the document is gradually
amended and increasingly adopted by KPLC.
The report includes recommendations for training workshops associated with the Design Manual and also
includes recommendations for the development of related documentation including; construction and
maintenance manuals and technical specifications.

Based on the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census Report
The first sections include a brief description of the distribution system in Kenya and describe the approach taken
by PB to conduct the study. The following section describes the demand forecast on which the Master Plan
Study was based and the process by which the national forecast was disaggregated to county level. The next
two sections cover planning criteria and design standards respectively. These also make reference to a Design
Manual which has been produced as a separate volume. These are followed by sections covering network data,
modelling and technical assessment of the existing networks. Network development in the short-medium term is
then covered in detail, including network planning studies spanning the first five years of the planning period.
The next section of the report includes a summary of the scoping study for the Environmental Impact
Assessment. The full scoping study is included in a separate volume. This is followed by a section which
considers extension of the grid to areas that are presently off-grid and includes technical and economic
assessment of grid extension versus continuing with off-grid solutions. The report then covers the approach to
long-term planning. The results of the short-medium term and long-term distribution network development plans
are brought together in the form of an investment plan, which identifies the projected investment requirements for
each of the counties over the planning period.

The Electricity Sector falls under the Ministry of Energy (MoE), which provides policy direction. The Energy
Regulatory Commission (ERC) is responsible for formulating and enforcing regulations, licensing power
companies, providing customer protection, approving power purchase agreements (PPAs) and conducting tariff
reviews.
Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) is the largest generating company and is majority government
owned. The remaining grid-connected generation is provided by privately owned independent power producers
(IPPs). The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) develops geothermal steam fields for subsequent use by
generation companies.
KPLC, which is 51 % government owned, owns and operates both the transmission and distribution networks
throughout Kenya. KPLC is responsible for purchase of all bulk electricity and is the sole supplier to end use
customers throughout the country. KPLC also operates the majority of the off-grid diesel power plants on behalf
of the Rural Electrification Programme.
KPLC is the system operator and is responsible for generation scheduling and dispatch, frequency control,
voltage control, outage management and system security. Generation dispatch and control of the transmission
network is via the national control centre (NCC). The distribution networks are controlled regionally though each
of the four regional control centres (RCCs).
Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) is 100 % government owned, with responsibility for
constructing new transmission lines across the country and then handing them over to KPLC to operate and
maintain.
The Rural Electricity Authority (REA) has responsibility for implementing the government’s Rural Electrification
Programme, which includes extension of the 33 kV and 11 kV distribution networks to facilitate the connection of
public facilities and private customers in rural areas.
Kenya is interconnected with Uganda at 132 kV, for import and export. Kenya supplies some border towns in
Tanzania at 33 kV and receives power from Ethiopia to supply a border town in the far north of the country.
KPLC’s distribution network includes the main interconnected grid in addition to a number of small off-grid
networks. The grid is operated in four distinct regions; Nairobi, Coast, Western and Mt. Kenya as shown in
Figure 2-2 with a further split into sub-regions as shown in Table 2-1. The extent of the grid covers the main
population centres in the four geographical regions.
2.2.1 Nairobi
Within the Nairobi Region, the network configuration differs from that of the other KPLC regions. The region is
supplied from the transmission network via several 220/66 kV and 132/66 kV transmission substations or bulk
supply points (BSPs). A number of 66 kV feeders emanate from each BSP and each 66 kV feeder supplies one
or more primary (66/11 kV) substations. Each primary substation supplies a number of 11 kV feeders, which in
turn supply 11/0.433 kV distribution substations. Larger customers may be supplied at 11 kV or 66 kV.
The Nairobi network is interconnected both at 66 kV and 11 kV, with normally open points to allow transfer of
load across BSPs or primary substations respectively.
The 66 kV feeders are mostly overhead using single and double circuit wood-pole construction. The 11 kV
feeders are also mostly overhead using single circuit wood or concrete pole construction.
In Nairobi city centre, where there are space constraints or issues with clearances, underground cables are used
for 11 kV and a few for 66 kV.
There are a few 66/33 kV substations on the outskirts of Nairobi, which supply neighbouring areas via long 33 kV
feeders.
Region Sub-region
Nairobi South
Nairobi West
Coast
North Rift
West Kenya
The distribution network in the regions outside Nairobi is less interconnected, with many radial 33 kV feeders and
generally with long distances between BSPs. Standard BSP design typically consists of 2 x 132/33 kV two
winding transformers, however some BSPs are equipped with only a single transformer.
A number of 33 kV feeders emanate from each BSP and each 33 kV feeder generally supplies one or more
primary (33/11 kV) substations and many distribution (33/0.433 kV) substations. The 11 kV feeders emanating
from the primary substations in turn supply distribution substations.
In general, the primary substations are supplied from a single BSP, although some 33/11 kV substations have an
alternative supply at 33 kV from a different 132 kV substation. There are normally open points to avoid parallel
supply from different BSPs.
The 33 kV and 11 kV feeders are generally overhead using single circuit wood-pole or concrete-pole
construction. Underground cables are used as necessary due to space constraints in urban centres, although
their present level of use outside Nairobi is minimal.
In the urban centres, the 11 kV networks are interconnected where possible to provide alternative supply,
however in the rural areas the 11 kV feeders are radial.
Most of Kenya is off-grid as indicated in Figure 2-2, however the eight off-grid counties5, whilst geographically
large, account for just 7 percent of the population. It is important to note however that most of the rural areas
within the grid connected counties do not currently enjoy electricity access due to the limited extent of the grid.
This issue is being addressed by the Rural Electrification Authority (REA), which is undertaking donor and
government funded projects to extend the 33 kV and 11 kV networks. These projects are primarily aimed at
providing supplies for public facilities such as schools, health centres, trading centres and bore-holes.
In the larger towns in the off-grid counties, small isolated 11 kV networks are supplied via diesel generators, with
in some cases backup from renewable power sources such as solar photo-voltaic (PV). The REA is in the
process of extending some of these networks to nearby towns or villages by means of 33 kV ‘transmission’.
Many projects are currently underway including new substations and feeders and reinforcement of existing
substations and feeders. These are aimed at extending the distribution network to new areas to increase
coverage and reinforcement of the existing network to accommodate demand growth and improve power quality
and reliability. The projects are grouped under various initiatives including the Energy Sector Recovery Project
(ESRP) and Kenya Electricity Expansion Project (KEEP) and include a combination of donor, government and
self funding by KPLC.
The distribution network suffers from poor reliability and quality of supply, which is generally due to under-
investment. Some of the key issues identified during the study are briefly described below.
Many parts of the distribution network are supplied over extremely long, radial 33 kV and 11 kV feeders, with no
alternative source of supply. In some cases, 33 kV feeders may be hundreds of km long, with many spurs,
resulting in a total length (in extreme cases) in excess of 1000 km supplied from a single source. A fault on such
a long feeder will have wide-spread impact, be difficult to locate and therefore will result in a long restoration time.
These parts of the network are not surprisingly subjected to frequent and prolonged outages.
Due to excessive feeder lengths and use of undersized conductors, voltage levels on feeders, particularly
outside of the urban areas are typically poor and significantly under the required standard. Automatic
voltage regulators (AVRs) have been installed on feeders in the past, however many of these have failed and
have subsequently been bypassed.
Excessively long, undersized feeders also result in high losses. As a distribution operator, losses must be paid
for as they represent a proportion of the energy purchased. Furthermore, distribution infrastructure must be sized
for both the delivered power and power losses. For these two reasons, there is a financial incentive to reduce
losses.

SECTION 2
BACKGROUND
Economically, losses represent part of the generated energy and generation and transmission infrastructure must
be sized for both the delivered power and losses. Losses therefore have both energy and capacity cost
components and loss reduction measures on distribution networks tend to be self financing.
Generally however, provided distribution plant and feeders are not overloaded and voltage levels are within
normal limits, the level of losses will be acceptable. The Distribution Master Plan includes studies to identify
excessive feeder loading and poor voltage regulation and includes measures to address these issues. The
Master Plan also includes planning guidelines for feeders, identifying maximum MVA.km curves for the standard
and proposed conductor sizes.
A related issue concerns the number of BSPs across the system. In many parts of the country, the BSPs are
sparsely distributed; with no available alternative should that BSP fail. This issue of course has a direct bearing
on the 33 kV feeder lengths and the associated reliability and power quality issues.
KETRACO is currently investing in new transmission lines and associated substations, both in Nairobi and in
other parts of the country. These new BSPs will relieve loading on existing overloaded BSPs and will allow for
shorter feeder lengths and greater levels of interconnection. These measures will therefore improve voltage
levels and reliability.
In some cases the new BSPs will result in extension of the grid to currently off-grid areas, improving reliability of
supply to those areas and reducing the cost of supply by displacing expensive diesel generating plant.
The Master Plan includes studies to identify the need for and location of additional BSPs beyond those already
under construction or committed.
Much of the distribution network does not have adequate capacity to effectively manage the present
demand, and many of the primary substations are loaded well beyond firm capacity. Adequate excess capacity
is unavailable, making it difficult to manage contingencies and meet future demand.
KPLC aims to achieve N-1 security of supply at least for major substations. However many primary substations
(and BSPs) are equipped with just a single transformer and even those with two or three transformers are often
loaded such that no spare capacity exists to cater for a transformer failure. This is a particular issue for parts of
the network with no alternative means of supply.6
In the event of such a failure, it is often necessary to source a spare transformer from another part of the network,
resulting in a prolonged outage before supply is restored.
The Master Plan identifies transformer loading across the network and makes recommendations for a graduated
move
6
In urban areas such as Nairobi, where a greater level of interconnection exists, there is often scope to switch a feeder onto an
alternative BSP or primary substation at 66 kV and 11 kV respectively. In the more rural, radially fed areas, there is no scope
for this type of switching and transformer redundancy is therefore particularly critical.

Throughout the period of the Master Plan Study, there was close collaboration between the PB team and the
KPLC counterpart team. The process began with a detailed data gathering exercise at a central, regional and
sub-regional level.
The scope of the study included provision of suitable software to conduct the detailed network analysis and to
provide an ongoing tool for KPLC to use in the future. Selection and procurement of the software was conducted
in parallel with data gathering as indicated in Figure 3-1.
This was followed by network modelling and assessment of existing network issues and constraints, leading to
short-medium term planning studies covering the period from 2012-2017. The network modelling and analysis
for the various KPLC regions was conducted in parallel in order to minimise the time required for these detailed,
data-intensive tasks.
Apart from the network data and models, key inputs to the planning studies were; the demand forecast and the

Long term planning was based on the development of ‘generic networks’ to represent the different typical network

A key aspect of the Master Plan study was consultation at a county level. This consultation was used to inform
the Environmental Impact Assessment scoping studies and also provided valuable insights into technical issues
at a local level.
The Master Plan study draws together the key aspects of the assignment which are briefly described below.
An important factor leading to the successful completion of the Master Plan Study was the appointment by KPLC
of a dedicated team of knowledgeable counterparts. The counterpart team was pivotal during the data gathering
stage and provided invaluable local knowledge during development of the short-medium term plans.
The assignment included an intensive three-week training course in the UK. This covered most of the key
aspects of the study and included hands-on training in the use of the network planning software.
Data gathering was conducted at central, regional and sub-regional level. County level meetings were also held
as described below.
Initial data collection was conducted at KPLC’s central offices in Nairobi. This included centrally stored network
data and diagrams, relevant reports, branch sales data and relevant information from Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS).
The initial data gathering stage was followed in April with data gathering at the regional and sub-regional level.
This was conducted in three teams, each comprising members from the PB and KPLC counterpart study teams.
The teams covered the various KPLC regions as follows:
Nairobi Region
Western Region
The data obtained in the regions and sub-regions was used to try to complete the many gaps in the data obtained
initially from the central offices. Most of the remaining gaps were resolved through collaboration with the KPLC
counterpart team, thereby minimising the number of assumptions that needed to be made with respect to the
network models.
The scope of the study included the procurement of a suitable software package, both for conducting the network
analysis during the study and for handing over to KPLC at the end of the study. Two potential software packages
were assessed and following a presentation by PB, KPLC chose NEPLAN.
The next stage was to develop detailed NEPLAN models of the 33 kV and 66 kV networks. These were initially
used to assess the performance of the existing networks in each of the four KPLC regions and to identify specific
network constraints.
Representative 11 kV feeders for each of the four regions were also modelled and assessed using NEPLAN.
Stakeholder meetings were held within each of the 47 counties, in order to gather data for the EIA scoping study
and to understand key technical issues at a county level.
County meetings were initially held in three ‘pilot’ counties. Following the pilot meetings, the agenda was refined
and used as the basis for the remaining meetings.
The demand forecast contained within the Least Cost Power Development Plan (LCPDP) dated March 2011 was
used for the study. This was disaggregated to county level using a process that is described in detail in this
report. County demand growth rates were applied to the respective substations to determine substation
demands for the network studies. County growth rates were also used to determine investment requirements at a
county level.
The existing network models were used as the basis for the short-medium term planning studies. Ongoing and
committed projects were added to the models and studies were conducted for each of the years up to 2017. The
outcome of these studies was a list of projects that would be required beyond the ongoing and committed
projects, in order to meet the forecast demand whilst satisfying the planning criteria.
The short-medium term investment requirements at 33 kV and 66 kV were determined directly from these lists of
projects by applying estimated project costs.
Generic or typical network configurations were developed to derive average incremental investment costs ($/kW)
for the various network topologies; urban, rural, Nairobi and off-grid. The county demand growth rates were then
used to calculate long term investment requirements
The investment required at 11 kV and LV was determined at a county level both in the short-medium term and
long term using the average incremental cost approach.

4.1 Background
Vision 2030 is Kenya’s development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. The objective of Vision 2030 is
to help transform Kenya into a, “middle-income country providing a high quality of life to all of its citizens by the
year 2030”. The Vision outlines the Government of Kenya’s economic growth objectives. These objectives were
used to develop the official Kenyan demand forecast using an econometric model which links electricity sales to
economic growth and the price of electricity. This demand forecast is presented in the Least Cost Power
Development Plan (LCPDP) publications.
The LCPDP (and associated demand forecast) is updated annually by a committee comprising officers from the
Ministry of Energy (MoE), Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), Kenya Electricity Generating Company
(KenGen), Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO),
Geothermal Development Company (GDC), Rural Electrification Authority (REA), The Ministry of State for
Planning, National Development and 2030, Kenya Vision 2030 Board, Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest),
Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). The LCPDP is the
key power generation and transmission system planning document in Kenya. The key message within the
LCPDP is that, “there is a need to plan for sufficient electricity capacity additions to meet the growth aspirations
of the Vision 2030”. Vision 2030 identifies energy and electricity as a key element of Kenya’s sustained
economic growth and transformation.
Under the new constitution, power will be devolved to each of the forty seven counties. This is expected to result
in more equitable sharing of resources across the country, with increased levels of investment particularly in the
more remote counties that have historically been neglected. There exist wide ranging levels of household
electrification across the country, from around 75 % of households in Nairobi County to less than 2 % of
households in Tana River County. Electrification levels are increasing across the country and following
devolution, it is expected that the rate of increase will be highest in those counties that are currently poorly served
with electricity infrastructure.
In accordance with the terms of reference, the LCPDP demand forecast is to be applied in the Master Plan study.
The terms of reference for the Master Plan Study include the need to identify the distribution infrastructure
requirements to meet the needs of each county. A key element of this process is to develop a demand forecast
for each county as this will be the main driver for investment. In this section of the report we describe the
process by which the LCPDP forecast has been disaggregated to county level.
The demand forecast that will be applied in the Distribution Master Plan Study is described in detail in the LCPDP
for the period 2011-2031, dated March 2011.
The LCPDP forecast is based on a number of inputs including; GDP growth rate projections, population growth
rates, levels of urbanisation, levels of electrification and specific consumption.
The results of the forecast are shown below. The energy (GWh) forecast refers to generated energy and
therefore includes transmission and distribution losses as described in the LCPDP and noted in Table 4-1. The
following levels of losses were taken from the LCPDP.
The peak (MW) demand forecast was calculated from the energy forecast using the load factors shown and
refers to generated power.
The forecast shown in Table 4-1 does not include the Vision 2030 Flagship Projects. Some of these are
particularly energy intensive and the estimated energy and capacity requirements along with the expected
completion dates for these projects are shown in Table 4-2.
The resultant total forecast including the Flagship Projects and also allowing for an element of gradually
decreasing suppressed demand is shown in Table 4-3. According to the LCPDP report, the forecast includes
100 MW of suppressed demand in 2010, gradually reducing to zero by 2015. Again the figures shown are at the
generation level and therefore include transmission and distribution losses.
7
The LCPDP forecast is at generation level and therefore includes transmission and distribution losses.
4.3.1 Introduction
In order to disaggregate the LCPDP demand forecast to county level, it was first necessary to understand how
the LCPDP forecast was derived. This was achieved by reconstructing the LCPDP forecast using the data and
assumptions provided in the LCPDP report. Once the LCPDP forecast had been derived on a national level, it
was possible to derive county level forecasts using the same methodology.
The objective in this sub-section is to re-create the LCPDP forecast. Using the methodology described in the
LCPDP report, a national level energy demand forecast was re-created for each consumer category including;
domestic urban, domestic rural, industrial & commercial and street lighting. The sum of the demand forecasts for
the various consumer categories derived in this way was then compared with the published LCPDP forecast to
confirm that a reasonable reconstruction had been achieved.
4.3.2 Methodology
The model presented in this section uses economic and technical assumptions set out in the LCPDP report and
aims to recreate the final Load Forecast set out in the LCPDP by applying appropriate logical linkages to specific
statistical inputs found in both 2009 Kenyan census statistics and Kenya Power Annual Report 2011 data. The
flow diagram below shows the steps followed by the model to calculate the energy and peak demand forecasts
for the Kenyan network.
4.3.3 Assumptions
Many of the model’s assumptions are taken directly from the LCPDP. Population is assumed to grow from 38.6
million according to the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census Volume 1C (2009 Census) to 60.5 million
by 2030 according to the LCPDP.
Similarly, growth in urbanization levels of consumers is a key demographic input and driver of demand and sales.
This is assumed to rise from 32 % in 2009, to 63 % in 2031 as stated in the LCPDP.
The number of persons per household differs between urban and rural domestic settings. The number of persons
per urban household is expected to decrease from a present average of 5, to 4.3 by 2031. The number of
persons per rural household is expected to decrease from a present average of 6.5, to 5.9 by 2031.
The LCPDP differentiates between high, middle and low income groups in terms of future supply rates and
specific consumption. The LCPDP does not however specifically identify the proportions of the population falling
into each of these income groups in the urban and rural areas. These proportions were therefore estimated. The
weighted average specific consumption calculated from the estimated proportions was then compared with the
average specific consumption from the KPLC 2010/11 Annual Report. The proportions in the various income
groups were then adjusted until the calculated weighted average consumption approximated the actual average
specific consumption. The proportions derived in this way are as shown in Table 4-4.
The calculated weighted average specific consumption for urban and rural areas was then as shown in Table 4-5.
2009 2031
The electrification rates assumed for 2031 are given in the LCPDP and differ between the high, middle and low
income urban and rural consumers. Using the estimated proportions in each of the income groups and the 2031
supply rates in each of those groups as quoted in the LCPDP it was possible to derive a weighted average supply
rate for urban and rural households. This was assumed to reach 98 % for urban households and 58 % for rural
households by 2031.
The Industrial and commercial demand in the LCPDP forecast, is based on GDP growth. The level of economic
growth is a key driver for increased electricity consumption. The assumed coefficient factors are defined in the
LCPDP as consumption growth rate divided by the real GDP growth rate. The table below shows the assumed
coefficient factors that are used in the LCPDP model.
Annual GDP growth rates were adjusted to obtain the required total demand in line with the LCPDP. The
resultant average annual GDP growth required to match the LCPDP forecast was 9.7 %.
Wider Assumptions
The LCPDP states that the number of lamps used for street lighting is assumed to grow at 80% of the growth rate
of the number of domestic consumers. There is also an assumed technical improvement increasing the efficiency
of the lamps and resulting in specific consumption decreasing by 1 % per year.
Levels of energy losses were assumed to be the level set out in the LCPDP at 14 %.
Load Factors were also assumed to be as stated in the LCPDP. The load factor for the domestic sector and
street lighting was assumed to be falling from 55 % to 45 % between 2012 and 2031. The commercial and
industrial load factors were assumed to be constant at 76 %.
The resultant demand forecast derived as described above is shown in Table 4-6.
The right-hand column, which is sales plus transmission and distribution losses, shows a close match with Table
4-3 (LCPDP Reference Scenario GWh).
4.3.5 Summary
The load forecast model presented in this section of the report can be summarised as follows:
The load forecast uses the assumptions stated in LCPDP and has attempted to replicate the results
produced in the Vision 2030 flagship load forecast presented in the LCPDP March 2011.
Where possible, all input data used was provided by the LCPDP. Where the LCPDP data was not
available, relevant input data was extracted from the Kenyan Census 2009 or from the Kenya Power
Annual Reports 2011.
The GDP growth rate assumptions take into account the growth created by the flagship projects due for
completion 2012-2021.
Figure 4-1 shows the forty seven counties formed under the new constitution.
Key statistics from the 2009 Population and Housing Census (Table 4-7) were used as the basis for
disaggregation of the LCPDP demand forecast to the county level. The 2009 Census data was obtained from the
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and is the most up to date information available.
Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 show the 2009 electrification levels (electrified households as a percentage of the total
households) per county for urban and rural areas respectively. It may be seen that there is a wide range in
household electrification in both urban and rural areas. The total urban household electrification level for Kenya
was approximately 50 % in 2009, whilst the corresponding rural figure was 5 %.

The electrification levels are shown geographically in Figure 4-4 which indicates that the large counties in the
north and east of the country have the lowest electrification levels. There are however wide ranges in
electrification levels within individual counties. In the large off grid counties to the north and east of the country,
only the larger towns are served by isolated diesel power plants, generally feeding a small 11 kV network within
the town. Table 4-7 indicates that eight of the counties are currently off-grid, although in some of them the grid
extends to part of the county. This is covered in more detail in a later section of the report.
Disaggregation of the existing demand was based on 2011 sales data provided by KPLC from 84 branches. The
branch sales data provided was limited to Domestic and Small Commercial Sales which account for around 40 %
of the total sales. The remaining 60 % of sales are in the Industrial and Large Commercial categories. For
these, only a regional split was provided as follows:
In the absence of more information, the Industrial & Large Commercial sales were shared across the counties
within each of the KPLC regions in the same proportion as the Domestic and Small Commercial Sales. The
resultant regional split of sales and sales by county are shown in Table 4-8 and Table 4-9 respectively.

The LCPDP demand forecast methodology was applied to obtain a county level forecast as described below. A
separate domestic urban, domestic rural and industrial & commercial forecast was produced as follows.
The starting point for the domestic urban forecast was the county urban population from the 2009 Census. The
total urban population in 2009 was 13.6 million, representing 32 % of the total population. According to the
LCPDP, the total Kenya population was expected to rise to 60.5 million by 2031, with 63 % living in urban areas.
This information was used to forecast urban population for each county.
The next step was to calculate the number of urban households per county. The LCPDP quotes a present
average level of 5 persons/urban household, decreasing steadily to an average of 4.3 persons by 2031. This
was used to calculate the number of urban households per county up to 2031.
The 2009 Census includes urban electrification levels per county which is the connected urban households as a
percentage of the total urban households. There is a wide variation across the counties and the level for the
whole country is 50 %. The LCPDP forecasts urban electrification levels increasing to 95-100 % by 2031. For
the county level forecast, a weighted average 98 % electrification level was assumed for all counties by 2031.
The number of electrified households per county up to 2031 was thus derived.
The specific consumption figures from the LCPDP for urban consumers were then applied to obtain annual urban
domestic sales per county up to 2031.
The starting point for the domestic rural forecast was the county rural population from the 2009 Census. The
total rural population in 2009 was 25.2 million, representing 68 % of the total population. According to the
LCPDP, the total Kenya population was expected to rise to 60.5 million by 2031, with 37 % living in rural areas.
This information was used to forecast rural population for each county.
The next step was to calculate the number of rural households per county. The LCPDP quotes a present
average level of 6.5 persons/rural household, decreasing steadily to an average of 5.9 persons by 2031. This
was used to calculate the number of rural households per county up to 2031.
The 2009 Census includes rural electrification levels per county which is the connected rural households as a
percentage of the total rural households. There is a wide variation across the counties and the level for the whole
country is 5 %. The LCPDP forecasts rural electrification levels increasing to 50 -100 % by 2031. For the county
level forecast, a weighted average 58 % rural electrification level was assumed for all counties by 2031. The
number of electrified households per county up to 2031 was thus derived.
The specific consumption figures from the LCPDP for rural consumers were then applied to obtain annual rural
domestic sales per county up to 2031.
The sum of the demand forecasts for the counties must equal the total LCPDP forecast. On this basis, the
industrial and commercial forecast for the country was calculated by subtracting the total domestic urban and
rural forecasts from the total LCPDP forecast. The total industrial and commercial forecast was then
disaggregated to the counties in accordance with the present split of industrial and commercial demand across
the country.
The annual energy consumption (GWh) per county was calculated as the sum of the domestic urban, domestic
rural and industrial & commercial forecasts.
The peak demand forecast (MW) for each county was calculated from the energy consumption forecast by
applying separate load factors for domestic and industrial & commercial demand in accordance with the LCPDP.
The total system demand (at the generation level) by 2030 including the Flagship Projects is 91,946 GWh
(15,026 MW), compared with 54,761 GWh (9,458 MW) without the Flagship Projects, a difference of 37,185 GWh
(5,568 MW). The sum of the estimated energy and capacity requirements indicated in Table 4-10 of 6,394 GWh
(876 MW) accounts for only 17 % of the difference between the ‘with Flagship Projects’ and ‘without Flagship
Projects’ forecasts. The basis for the remaining difference in growth between the two forecasts is understood to
be due to increased economic activity across the country resulting from the Vision 2030 Flagship Projects.
The main energy intensive projects are expected to influence demand in certain counties as described below:
The planned ICT Park at Konza will have significant electricity requirements and will result in increased
demand in Kajiado and Machakos Counties.
Iron and steel melting is highly energy intensive and will therefore significantly impact demand in Meru
County
The planned resort cities at Isiolo, Kilifi and Ukunda will impact demand in Isiolo, Kilifi and Kwale
Counties.
8
Note that the energy and power values for Lamu Port including resort cities were increased from those shown in the LCPDP as the values appeared too low for the type
of development.
The new Lamu port will attract additional development in Lamu County and the proposed Lamu-South
Sudan-Ethiopia transport corridor will result in increased demand for electricity both due to the traction
power requirements of the rolling stock and more importantly, due to opening remote areas of the
country for development. The railway will pass through or near to Tana River, Garissa, Isiolo,
Samburu, Marsabit and Turkana Counties.
The planned Mombasa-Nairobi-Malaba-Kisumu railway will improve transport links in the already
relative well connected parts of the country.
Due to their level of demand, it was assumed that Konza ICT Park and Iron and Steel Smelting in Meru would
require direct connection to the transmission network. Demand associated with these two flagship projects was
therefore excluded from the distribution level demand forecast. The remaining flagship project demand was
added to the demand of the specific counties indicated above.
According to the KPLC 2010/11 Annual Report, approximately 5 % of the Industrial and Large Commercial sales
were to 132 kV customers. It is assumed that this percentage will steadily increase to 10 % by 2021 and then
remain at that level until the end of the planning period. This is to take account of increasing levels of
industrialisation over time.
Figure 4-5 shows the relative scale of peak demand across the country and also illustrates the forecast level of
growth over the planning period.
The 2011 figures were derived from the sales data, whilst the 2012-2030 figures were calculated based on the
LCPDP methodology described above.
The demand forecast for each county at MV distribution level (allowing for an estimated 7 percent losses in the
LV and 11 kV distribution systems) is shown in Table 4-11.

for the purpose of conducting the network modelling over the short-medium term.
The demand forecast was also used to derive the long-term investment requirements for each of the counties as
described later in this report.

At MV distribution level, i.e. including LV losses, but excluding demand connected at 132 kV.
5.1 Introduction
The KPLC system is operated in four geographical regions as described in Section 2. Planning and
implementation of distribution network expansion is carried out both centrally and at the regional level. In order to
ensure a consistent approach to planning, it is important to standardise on the planning criteria and guidelines
that are applied across KPLC. This section of the report includes a proposed set of criteria and guidelines that
could be adopted and applied for future network reinforcement and expansion planning.
Planning criteria are intended to set the limits for key network parameters to ensure that network development is
conducted in a way that balances cost with quality and reliability of supply.
Following a review of the Grid Code, current KPLC practice and international best practice, PB has developed a
proposed set of planning criteria for future network development.
The planning criteria should be applied in conjunction with the planning guidelines described in Section 5.3 and
the design guidelines in Section 6.
The planning criteria have been developed with reference to the stipulations in the Kenyan Grid Code.
5.2.3 Voltage
KPLC should maintain the following IEC standard steady state r.m.s. value of voltage at a customer’s point of
supply, with tolerance limits as indicated:
66 kV +10 % /-10 %
33 kV +10 % /-10 %
11 kV +6 % / -6 %
230/400 V +6 % / -6 %
5.2.4 Frequency
Distribution planning engineers have little control over the frequency of the network. However for equipment
specification, automatic load-shedding, etc. there should be a defined frequency standard.
The distribution system in Kenya shall be designed to ensure that under normal and planned contingency
conditions, frequency will remain within a band between 47 to 52 Hz.
Power factor correction can improve voltage, reduce losses and allow greater power transfer. However the
benefits of power factor improvement must we weighed against cost and correction beyond a certain point has
diminishing returns. Any new network should be planned using the demand power factors taken from the load
forecast from each Bulk Supply Point (BSP) area although economic analysis should determine whether a power
factor correction scheme is appropriate.
The target power factor for the majority of power factor correction schemes should be 0.95. It is also suggested
that steps be undertaken by KPLC to ensure that large new and existing customers are encouraged to maintain
this power factor at their point of connection. This may be through commercial arrangements that are metered
and enforced.
A security of supply standard (Table 5-1) summarises the re-supply requirement in relation to the size of a load
block affected by a First or Second Outage. An outage can be the loss of either a circuit or a transformer and
First and Second Outages are defined as follows:
The First Outage is considered to be a fault or planned outage occurring at any time of the year including the
period of maximum demand.
The Second Outage is considered to be a fault outage occurring when an integral part of the network under
consideration is not available due to planned maintenance.
B 1 MW to 8 MW 3 Hours No Requirement
Restoration Time of
C 8 MW to 60 MW Within 15 minutes
Planned Outage*
*Planned outages are assumed to be restricted to non-summer periods when due to lower ambient temperatures
demand is reduced and equipment ratings enhanced.
Loads in Class A have a maximum demand up to 1 MW. Following a first outage, the load must be re-supplied
within the time required to repair the fault. This group typically applies to LV loads supplied from a distribution
transformer or an 11 kV tee from a rural overhead line.
Loads in Class B have a maximum demand between 1 – 8 MW. Following a first outage, the load must be re-
supplied within 3 hours. This may be achieved for example, by manual switching of the 11 kV network feeders to
re-supply customers from an alternative 11 kV bus bar using an 11 kV open ring network design.
Loads in Class C (typically primary substations) have a maximum demand between 8 – 60 MW. Following the
first outage the load must be re-supplied within 15 minutes. This could be achieved by running the 11 kV bus
bars solid at 33/11 kV substations (i.e. with the 11 kV bus section circuit breaker normally closed) if the fault level
is within the design levels. Another option would be to fit remote SCADA control on this section breaker or
introduce procedures so that this could be reliably done by the substation operator.
The firm capacity of a substation relates to the capacity under an N-1 outage condition. For example, a
substation consisting of 2 x 33/11 kV 23 MVA transformers which have a permissible overload capability of 110%
will have a firm capacity equal to 1.1 x 23 = 25.3 MVA.
To comply with the security standard, primary substations with a maximum demand greater than 8 MW should
not be loaded above their firm capacity. In the example above the maximum load on the substation would be
restricted to 25.3 MVA.
Therefore under system normal conditions the load on each transformer at a typical two transformer primary
substation will be around 50% of its nameplate rating assuming the load is shared evenly between the two
transformers.
The minimum design short circuit ratings for the distribution network in Kenya are given below:
In practice a higher rating may be specified for distribution network equipment and calculations should be done
for all installations. The rated rupturing capacity of the circuit breakers in any substation shall be no less than
120% of the maximum calculated short circuit levels.
Table 5-2 and Table 5-3 provide the key electrical parameters for the distribution overhead line conductors and
cables in use in Kenya. Parameters for some alternative conductor types are also provided.

The planning guidelines described below and included in Appendix A are designed to assist distribution planning
engineers in achieving the standards outlined in the preceding section. The planning guidelines should be
applied in conjunction with the design guidelines described in Section 6.
The Planning Management guideline is concerned with the planning process and how it should be organised and
managed.
It covers areas such as planning timescales, forecasting methods, and economic analysis of development
projects. By following (and eventually expanding) this guideline, KPLC will be able to ensure that planning
methodology and approach is consistent across the country.
The nature of distribution networks means that there are often a large number of solutions to any technical
problem. One of the most important skills for planning engineers is to be able to ascertain and develop the most
economic technically feasible solution. Engineers must balance the quality, reliability, capacity, and coverage of
their distribution network with the overall cost.
Generally it is important to consider all of the lifetime costs of a number of options which means that the cost of
losses must be considered. PB has developed the following spreadsheet based tools to aid this process:
CON-OPT
CON-OPT is a spreadsheet based tool developed by PB, with the following functions:
Conductor optimisation - Performs a comparison of whole-life costs of distribution feeder options based on a
range of conductor sizes.
Maximum line length - Calculates the maximum line length versus feeder load for a range of conductor sizes.
CON-OPT is a spreadsheet based tool (Figure 5-1) which (among other functions) allows the user to calculate
the impact of losses on the whole life cost of a conductor and therefore enable the most economic conductor to
be selected.
The use of CON-OPT is best illustrated with an example. The following conditions are input in the spreadsheet:
Voltage = 11 kV
Load Growth = 7 %
Load Factor = 55 %
Load Distribution Factor = 0.44 (assumes 5 load points along the feeder)
Discount Rate = 12 %
Time-scale = 7 years
10
The cost of losses is the long-run marginal cost (LRMC) of both capacity and energy combined. The capacity element
includes generation, transmission and distribution capacity as relevant, depending on the voltage level of the feeder. LRMC of
capacity is usually expressed in cost/kW, but in this case has been converted into a cost/kWh using the relevant load factor.
The energy element is the cost of operating the power plants, including fuel costs. The capacity and energy elements take
account of peak power losses and energy losses respectively.

In order to compare conductor sizes, estimated capital costs for each option are also required as follows:
The conductor optimisation is based on a calculation of the net present value (NPV) of the whole-life cost of the
options considered. The results are expressed graphically against initially loading level as shown in Figure 5-2

As the load increases, so does the cost of losses, until it becomes economic to choose a larger conductor with
lower resistance. In this particular example, the smallest conductor is the economic choice for an initial feeder
load of less than 400 kVA and the largest conductor becomes economic for an initial feeder load above 900 kVA.
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show the results of the second function of the CON-OPT programme. Figure 5-3
shows the maximum permissible length for a range of feeder loads in order not to exceed a volt drop of 6 % at
the remote end of the feeder. Figure 5-4 shows the volt drop at the remote end of the feeder, associated with a
feeder length of 10 km, for a range of feeder loads.

Conductor optimisation should be based on a limited number of standard conductors and guidance on conductor
sizes and types is provided in Section 6. Standardising on a limited number improves purchasing power and
availability of spares.
The CON-OPT tool can help with selection of conductor size as indicated above. Generally, the selection
process should be based on the following criteria:
Thermal rating
Voltage compliance
Cost of losses
In rural areas, where there are longer lines and relatively low load densities, the design limitation tends to be one
of voltage regulation; whereas in urban areas with shorter lines and higher load densities, thermal rating is
generally the overriding consideration.
The thermal rating of a conductor is the continuous current that the conductor can carry at specified ambient
conditions. Voltage regulation refers to the variation in voltage on a feeder between periods of minimum and
maximum demand.
When selecting a conductor the outage condition requirements should be taken into consideration as well as
estimated future load growth.
TRANS-OPT
TRANS-OPT (Figure 5-5). is slightly more complicated than CON-OPT although it works on the same principle.
The difference is that it is designed for use on transformers where, unlike distribution conductors, there are two
components to losses – fixed and variable. The fixed losses are the iron losses which are independent of load.
The variable or copper losses result from the resistance of the windings and are load dependent.
The spreadsheet also contains the functionality to evaluate staged installation of transformers or substation
transformer replacements.
This guideline document introduces designing for and the tracking of network reliability. Some of the important
reliability indices are defined, such as System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average
Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and some benchmarks are provided for reference.
Design considerations for both overhead and underground networks are also listed.
Suitably sized shunt capacitor banks can achieve the following benefits when installed on distribution networks
for power factor correction:
Increase in loading capacity of the primary feeders where the loading is restricted by either voltage drop
limits or conductor thermal rating
Increase in loading capacity of all system components upstream from the capacitor bank location
Reduction in load losses in all system components upstream from the capacitor bank location
Both the planning and design guideline documents provide details on the application of capacitors, how they may
be sized and methods of operating them.
Distribution planning requires a good understanding of the loads on the network and typical consumer usage.
Several of the standard metrics for consumer demand are defined in the guideline, including; load duration
curves, load factor, coincidence and diversity.
Guidance is provided on typically recommended connection voltage and security of supply for new connections of
various MVA rating and various supply conditions.
When designing a connection for a large motor load, such as a water pumping station, the voltage step change
during motor starting should be studied and all motors connected at 11 kV and above should be modelled
explicitly. The connection of a large group of LV motors that will have a combined effect on the network should
also be studied.
Loads on individual distribution transformers are generally not known and therefore, for the purpose of
distribution feeder planning and modelling, it is necessary to make suitable assumptions based on available
information.
The peak feeder load and the rating of each of the distribution transformers is generally known or can be readily
obtained. The method generally adopted is therefore to assign the feeder load across the distribution
transformers in proportion to their rating.
For example, on a feeder with a peak load of 5 MVA and 10 MVA of total transformer capacity, 1 kVA of load
would be allocated per 2 kVA of transformer capacity. A 250 kVA transformer would be modelled with a load of
125 kVA and this is the methodology applied to feeder modelling in the Master Plan study.
There will be some errors in this method, as occasionally the rating of the transformer may not suit the load. It
should also be noted that due to the effect of coincidence, it is not the actual maximum demand on that particular
transformer that is modelled, but the contribution of each transformer’s load to the maximum feeder load.
The losses that occur in the process of supplying electricity to consumers, within transmission and distribution
systems can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Many electricity networks suffer with high
technical and non-technical losses. For KPLC, energy losses are the difference between energy purchased
through power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the generating companies and energy sold to end use
customers across the country.11 Losses therefore represent a direct operational cost to KPLC that is passed on
to consumers through the tariff.
Reduction of technical losses will result in improvements in voltage quality to consumers, higher sales; and lower
generation; whilst reduction of non-technical losses will contribute directly to the revenue receivable12.
Technical losses are caused by energy dissipated in the conductors and equipment used for sub-transmission
and distribution of power. These are inherent in the system but can be reduced to an optimum level. Non-
technical losses are due to theft, defective meters and errors in meter readings.
Technical losses are categorised as copper (variable) or iron (fixed). Copper losses are caused by the heating
effect of electric current as it passes through circuit or transformer winding resistance, and can be calculated by
multiplying the square of the current by the circuit or transformer resistance. Iron losses are caused by the
induction of eddy currents in the cores of transformers and reactors. They are always present while the
equipment is energised and are not affected by loading.
The main factors that contribute to high technical losses are the use of small cross sectional area conductors,
unbalanced loads, sub standard connections / joints, poor power factors and voltages below the design criteria.
Overloaded transformers can result in high copper (variable) losses whilst under loaded transformers can result
in high iron (fixed) losses. The optimum loading of a transformer should take both the copper and iron losses into
consideration.
Loss reduction programmes are generally self-financing even over a relatively short period of time. The reduction
in technical losses is particularly significant in economic terms because power losses must be generated and
transmitted and therefore impact system capacity, whilst energy losses result in increased fuel usage.
The long run marginal cost (LRMC) is the cost of generating, transmitting, and distributing one kilowatt of power
at system peak to a consumer supplied at a specific voltage level. Figure 5-6 shows the economic value of loss
reduction at various levels across the system. The LRMC of generation and transmission capacity respectively,
of 737 and 80 $/kW/year were derived from the LCPDP. The LRMC of distribution capacity at the 33 kV, 11 kV
and LV levels are typical values for distribution networks. The LRMC of energy and the percentage losses were
also derived from the LCPDP.
The capacity and energy cost components of losses are calculated and then annual savings derived based on an
assumed load factor (65% in the example). Finally, the whole-life cost saving is calculated based on an assumed
equipment life (40 years) and discount rate (12%).

The economic justification means that a loss reduction programme is usually cost effective and can be
implemented within relatively short timescales. A loss reduction programme normally follows these steps:
It is possible to estimate typical losses based on models (generally only technical losses) but to be able to
quantify the actual losses and where best to target loss reduction efforts, physical measurements will need to be
taken. Therefore the first steps in a loss reduction programme would be to initiate changes to allow for better
data collection, metering, and energy auditing.
• Systems and procedures developed and implemented to allow future energy auditing
It should be noted that KPLC is already underway with data collection and network model building plans. Efforts
to improve the consistency, quantity and quality of this data across Kenya would have benefits for both the loss
reduction effort but also to the overall system planning and operations/maintenance of the network.
Designs associated with construction or rehabilitation work should consider the economic impact of losses.
This economic consideration when sizing conductors and transformers should ensure that KPLC not only
minimises losses to an economic level, but also implements not the lowest construction cost solution, but the
lowest lifetime cost solution.
Generally, losses will be maintained at acceptable levels if planning guidelines are followed and network
parameters are maintained within the planning limits identified earlier in this section. This means keeping:
Arguably the most cost effective way to reduce losses at the distribution level is to ensure that maintenance and
construction problems are corrected. As KPLC already employ the staff to undertake this work, the additional
costs should be minimal.
Poor jointing practice and materials add unnecessary losses to feeders, and can often lead to line failures. The
first part of a loss reduction programme should audit the maintenance procedures at the primary and secondary
voltage levels and ensure that staff are provided with the correct training and materials for jointing and condition
assessment.
Another cost effective programme to implement is the rebalancing of the low voltage loads. A relatively small
team is required to survey, measure, and redistribute the LV loads equally over the three phases. This can
dramatically reduce the peak loading on certain phases, and hence reduce feeder losses.
During the data collection phase of this project it was observed that essential network planning data is not always
readily available. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the network planning process, it is
essential that improvements are made in the quality and accessibility of network and metering information
available to the planning department.
Distribution planning by necessity should be done at the local level within each region. Knowledge of the local
conditions, customers, and the existing network are all vital to distribution planning engineers. However there
should be a similar approach throughout the KPLC offices, applying national standards and planning criteria.
Currently, there is a wide variance in terms of training, tools, experience, and methodology of distribution
planning across the regions.
KPLC’s network database was found to be only 60-70 % complete and in many cases conflicts were found
between the database and network schematics. For effective planning, it is important that the database and
schematics reflect as closely as possible the state of the network.
At present KPLC generally collects feeder load data using a manual, paper based process. Hourly readings are
taken and the maximum daily feeder current is recorded based on the hourly values. These readings are taken
on the hour every hour – this is discrete instantaneous sampling of the feeder load and it only records the actual
load at the beginning of each period.
This method of recording loads may result in erratic values that may not represent the true load behaviour. This
methodology relies on the characteristic of interest (peak hourly demand) occurring during the window of time
that the substation operator is observing the meter readout. At this point in time, the reading could equally be the
minimum load rather than the peak or any value in-between. An example of this effect is shown in Figure 5-7.
By measuring the current for each feeder, the operator essentially records the thermal load on the feeder. This is
adequate for most operational requirements. However, by not recording the voltage and power factor alongside
the feeder current, assumptions must be made to determine the active and reactive power of the load.
Many substations have either un-calibrated or non-operational metering on some feeders. Additionally, the
measurements at the substation transformers (i.e. the total load of the substation) are seldom recorded and also
have the same sampling issues as described above.
The lack of consistent primary substation and feeder load information is a significant issue and one that should
be addressed in order to improve the planning process and assist with prudent investment decisions.
As part of a review of the overall data collection practices of KPLC, it is recommended that substation metering
be examined. This should look at the instrument transformers (CT’s and VT’s) as well as the type of meters and
method of data logging. This should be done at all voltages of 11 kV and above as this will enable a far more
accurate load assessment to be carried out including daily and annual load profiles and energy usage analysis.
It is also recommended that KPLC considers a programme of peak demand metering on individual distribution
transformers. Some of the new kiosk substation designs have maximum demand meters (although some do not)
but this information is not recorded or tracked. It is suggested that initially full three phase metering be done on a
sample basis on transformers that might be under or overloaded. However, it should eventually form part of a
regular programme of monitoring. This process would also allow KPLC to locate significant feeder load
imbalances.
Once the technical criteria of a network have been met (e.g. capacity, security of supply, voltage etc.) the next
step is to consider the most economical design based on the whole life cost of the project. This should be done
when evaluating all investments and should include costs of losses and maintenance.
Procedures should be implemented and regular training provided to ensure that they are widely understood and
applied. Additionally, feedback from all regions should be used to update the standards and guidelines as
necessary.
Implementation of planning and analysis software such as NEPLAN needs to be part of the overall
implementation of a coordinated network planning process. These packages are tools for planners to evaluate
different present and future scenarios to arrive at an optimum solution. However, without a coordinated network
planning process, these tools are of little benefit.
It is recommended that KPLC expands the use of NEPLAN to distribution planning engineers throughout Kenya
and continues the development of the network models. It should be remembered that these models are not static
and need to be maintained in a controlled centralised manner, ensuring that all network changes are captured.
DESIGN STANDARDS
SECTION 6
DESIGN STANDARDS
6 DESIGN STANDARDS
6.1 Introduction
In this section of the report a new draft Design Manual is introduced. This section also includes some
recommendations for implementation of the new Design Manual and identifies the requirement for additional
related documentation including; construction manual, maintenance manual and technical specifications.
KPLC’s Distribution Standards & Guidelines Manual (DSGM) – Design Module, dated July 2010, was provided to
PB during the initial data collection phase. This document contains useful data, methods and calculations for
designing the distribution system; however it is lacking in detail in some key areas, including the following:
During the review it was found that some parts of the documentation are duplicated with some inconsistencies
within the duplicated sections. It was also found that many elements essential for good design practice were
missing.
The new Draft Design Manual aims to cover all of the key areas associated with distribution system design, as
applicable to KPLC. The Design Manual forms a separate volume (Volume II) and is arranged in sections as
briefly described below.
6.3.1 Introduction
The first section describes the purpose of the Design Manual and how it should be applied. It includes examples
of key aspects to be applied in the case of primary substation design, but that could be adapted for other
elements such as distribution substations, overhead lines or cables.
This section of the Design Manual begins with environmental parameters for Kenya and identifies key differences
between coastal, inland and highland areas. These differences in parameters drive decision making regarding
construction material recommended for use in certain items of equipment.
It provides details of minimum electrical clearances that should be applied at voltage levels from 66 kV to LV.
The remainder of this section deal primarily with standard conductor sizes and types for the various voltage levels
and identifies the thermal rating of each based on the applicable atmospheric conditions. It also includes
MVA.km curves for each, based on a stated voltage drop.
This section begins by explaining the importance of limiting short-circuits to within the rating of equipment such
as switchgear and cables and identifies recommended short-circuit current ratings for new equipment. The point
is made regarding existing equipment which in some cases may not be rated in accordance with the
recommendations and care is therefore needed particularly when proposing changes to the network that could
result in increased short-circuit levels.
Fault current contribution from the source (BSPs), motors and distributed generation is discussed, followed by
methods for conducting fault level calculations using symmetrical components.
The role of protection systems on a distribution network is first described. Types of protection including; over-
current, distance and sensitive earth fault are then covered and their application described in relation to different
types of feeders and equipment at various voltage levels.
The first part of this section covers the hand-calculation method for conducting volt drop calculations. Various
options are then described for improving voltage regulation on part of a distribution system. These include;
upgrading to a higher voltage level, reduction in feeder current by providing additional feeders, reduction in
feeder length by providing additional primary substations or BSPs, increasing conductor size or transformer size
to reduce impedance, installation of shunt capacitors or voltage regulators.
The second part of this section covers technical losses in distribution network components. It includes
calculation methods for line and transformer losses, with worked examples, showing how to determine the cost of
losses and how to value these over the life-time of equipment. Economic loading of lines and transformers is
also discussed.
This section includes a description of the various types of shunt capacitors typically used in various situations on
distribution networks. It includes methods for calculating power factors and relates this to the required capacitor
rating based on achieving a target power factor. It describes how power factor correction may be used to
achieve a number of benefits including; increased circuit loading capability, improved voltage regulation and
reduced losses. Capacitor bank location and automatic switching are also briefly covered.
This section is concerned with voltage regulators installed on long feeders for the purpose improving voltage
regulation. The operating principles are first explained, followed by methods for calculating the required rating.
Regulator controls are then described and a calculation is included for determining the compensator settings of a
voltage regulator.
The first part of this section covers the mechanical aspects of distribution line design. It includes design details
for poles, foundations, insulators and conductors. It also includes medium voltage sectionalising equipment and
surge arrestors.
Pole mounted and ground mounted distribution substations are then covered including typical MV and LV
protection arrangements and distribution boards.
This section also includes specific design considerations for 66 kV overhead lines.
This section begins with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of underground cables vs. overhead
lines and describes some of the key considerations for underground cable system design. Performance
parameters of typical cable types used on the KPLC system are then presented.
The components of cables and the materials from which they are constructed are then described. The section
also includes design details for cable system installation.
This section begins with a discussion of typical substation configurations and describes the reasons for adopting
particular configurations in various applications.
Substation location is then covered, including a list of considerations, easements and right of way. This is
followed by substation layouts and safety clearances. Substation equipment including transformers and
switchgear are discussed. Site development aspects are then covered, including site surveying, earthworks,
roads, oil containment, fencing and security and cable trenches.
Typical substation layouts for BSPs and primary substations are provided.
This section describes the reason for providing an earthing system and includes design details and calculations
for confirming the adequacy of the earthing system.
The new Design Manual is a draft document and should be reviewed by KPLC before using it for network design.
The existing DSGM is likely to have evolved over some considerable time and may in many respects provide
adequate guidance.
The new Design Manual covers a number of areas as described above, including aspects not covered in the
DSGM. It is recommended that the new Design Manual is adopted over time. Some aspects may be found by
KPLC to be more useful and applicable than others and therefore is suggested that the document is gradually
amended and increasingly adopted by KPLC.
Following discussions with KPLC staff involved in this study the following prospective additional scope (not
included within the present study) is considered beneficial to KPLC:
PB considers that a workshop would be useful to present the Design Manual and explain and clarify the key
objectives and scope of the document.
This workshop should be attended by principal and senior design engineers of KPLC and will provide training and
capacity development for KPLC. PB are of the opinion that these workshops are an important step to ensure that
all KPLC primary requirements are incorporated and KPLC personnel fully understand how the manual was
developed, and how to apply it in everyday practice.
PB would propose three training sessions of 7 to 10 days in three different locations - Nairobi, Mombasa and
Lessos (Kisumu).
PB would propose updated construction standards, General Technical Requirements and Codes of Practice that
incorporate the new technologies and designs developed during the Design Guidelines preparation to bring
KPLC into line with current best practices.
Erection guidelines
Workshops to introduce the new construction manuals and agree the key objectives and direction of the
document would be of benefit to KPLC.
PB would propose three workshop sessions each of 5 days and in three different locations- Nairobi, Mombasa
and Lessos (Kisumu).
In addition to technical aspects, there are also maintenance aspects to consider. Current maintenance practices
must also be understood including the resource constraints, levels of competency, training needs and
developmental aspirations. PB’s specialists would identify areas where the actual practice has fallen behind
current international best practices and where benefits would be achieved by the introduction of new
technologies. Therefore PB propose to develop the following new documents:
Based on good current practice, a list of tools and test equipment suitable for a modern distribution network
would be developed. These would be incorporated into the construction procedures, and instruction in their
proper use would be arranged as necessary.
In conjunction with the preparation of the documents, we would carry out a review of manning levels in use for
current construction activities, and those required for modern practices and techniques. Appropriate
recommendations would be made.
Workshops to introduce the new maintenance manuals and agree the key objectives and direction of the
document would be of benefit to KPLC. PB would propose three workshop sessions each of 5 days and in three
different locations- Nairobi, Mombasa and Lessos (Kisumu).
It is envisaged that the development of the new Design Manual together with new Construction and Maintenance
Manuals would drive the development of new Technical Specifications required for inclusion within KPLC’s
existing volumes. Further Technical Specifications would be developed in line with those technologies identified
during development of these documents.
Depot and site visits would be undertaken to understand the use, performance and modes of operation of the
various materials and equipment. PB would visit the sites with the counterpart KPLC engineers in attendance to
ensure access and the availability of local staff.
PB specialists would review and update the existing material and equipment specifications and develop new
specifications to produce a set of documents that balances the current needs of KPLC with future requirements.
This exercise would incorporate (where appropriate) new technologies, equipment and materials that have been
included in the new Design Manual and Construction and Maintenance Manuals. Comparison with modern utility
standards and practices would be made and changes to, or potential replacement of existing materials and
equipment would be identified and appropriate recommendations made.
For the purpose of organising and simplifying these documents PB would propose to replace the original
structure of the specification documents in the following manner:
Separate specification covering the service conditions (climatic data), submittals specification and
requirements, commercial standard packing and shipping requirements. This would be a standalone
document but would form an indivisible part of any tender
Separate specification of electrical system conditions. This would be a standalone document but would
form part of any tender for electrical materials and equipment.
Scope of delivery/material/equipment
Standards used
Tests required
Data schedule
Drawing or Sketch
PB would also propose a workshop of 7-10 days to present findings of the work, the proposed updated
documentation and agree key objectives and directions.
PB believe that the following additional specification development would be beneficial to KPLC but is also not
included in the current master-plan scope:
New set of bidding technical specifications and schedules for primary 132/33 kV substations
New set of bidding technical specifications and schedules for132 kV sub-transmission OHL.
The key network data and assumptions were described in the Interim Report, issued in September 2012 and
these are not repeated here.
Initial network data collection was conducted at KPLC’s central offices in Nairobi and included collecting a copy of
KPLC’s Facilities Database (FDB), network schematics, loading data and relevant reports. This was followed in
April with data gathering at the regional and sub-regional level. The regional visits were conducted in three
teams, each comprising members from the PB and KPLC counterpart study teams. The teams covered the
various KPLC regions as follows:
Nairobi Region
Western Region
The data obtained in the regions and sub-regions, including; network topology, substation geographical locations,
feeder routes, circuit and equipment rating and load data, was used to complete the many gaps in the data
obtained initially from the central offices as detailed in the Interim Report. Reasonable assumptions were agreed
with KPLC in cases where specific data was unavailable.
The network models were developed on a regional basis to maintain manageable sized models and to allow the
regional teams to develop the models simultaneously. The models were developed using NEPLAN power
systems analysis software. GIS mapping was also used to provide geographical representation of the networks.
The detailed network models were generally limited to the 66 kV networks in Nairobi and the 33 kV networks in
the other regions. The models were constructed from the BSPs to the 66/11 kV, 33/11 kV primary substations,
with the loads lumped at the relevant 11 kV substation busbars. Within the counties outside Nairobi, a significant
proportion of the demand is supplied via 33/0.433 kV distribution transformers which were individually modelled,
where the data was available.
The 11 kV and LV networks were handled in a different manner in the study. Representative 11 kV feeders were
agreed with KPLC and these were explicitly modelled as described in the next section. Expansion of the
remainder of the 11 kV system and the LV system was considered by means of generic network models,
representing the various types of network topologies typically found in rural, urban, Nairobi and off-grid areas
respectively.
A two week training workshop was held for the KPLC counterpart team during October. The network models
were refined over this period through detailed discussions between PB and the counterpart team. Network
analysis was also conducted and the results discussed with the counterparts. This included analysis of the
existing networks and expansion plans for the short-medium term as described in the following two sections.
All of the network data on which the study was based, is encapsulated within the network models in database
form. These models will be handed over to KPLC on completion of the study.
8.1 General
The 2012 NEPLAN models developed as described in the previous section provided the basis for this analysis.
Diversity factors were applied to peak primary substation and distribution transformer loads to ensure the feeder
loads in the power system model matched the measured values.
The Nairobi Region covers five counties; Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos and Makueni. Kiambu and
Machakos counties extend into the neighbouring Mount Kenya region, and Kaijaido county extends into West
Kenya region.
A geographical view of the study region is presented in Figure 8-1. The GIS map displays the existing network
including BSPs, primary substations and feeders and shows transmission interconnections with other regions.
The BSPs in the Nairobi region are; Embakasi 220/66 kV, Nairobi North 220/66 kV, Ruaraka 132/66 kV and Juja
Road 132/66 kV. The sub-transmission voltage in the Nairobi Region is 66 kV with a number of large consumers
connected at this voltage. There are three main 33 kV feeders from Nairobi; to Kajiado and Machakos Counties
fed from EPZ primary substation and Nyaga fed from Ruiru primary substation.
Details of the network topology and interconnections are shown in Figure 8-2. Colour coding of substations
indicates normal supply areas of BSPs. Normally open points and embedded generation are also shown. (Note
that the network schematics may be viewed more clearly in Appendix B.)
The substation load data for Nairobi Region is presented in Appendix B. The following 66/11 kV primary
substations have been commissioned recently; Kabete, Gigiri, Kiambu Road, Komo Rock and Ruai.
Based on discussions with KPLC, the estimated load transfers from existing to new primary substations used for
the study are indicated below
The assessment indicates that there are a few areas in the existing Nairobi 66 kV and 33 kV networks with
voltages below the minimum planning limit of 0.9 pu during peak load conditions (Table 8-1). A full set of results
is provided in Appendix B.
Rated LF results

Voltage(kV) Voltage(kV) Voltage(pu)
Nairobi Nairobi Karen 66 55.2 0.84
Nairobi Nairobi Ngong Wind 66 55.5 0.84
Nairobi Kiambu Kikuyu 66 57.3 0.87
Nairobi Kajiado Kajiado 33 28.1 0.85
Karen and Kikuyu primary substations are fed from Nairobi North BSP via Limuru primary substation. The low
voltages are due to the distance of these primary substations from the BSP and the loading on the 66 kV feeder
(Table 8-2). The voltage along most of the 33 kV Kajiado feeder is below the planning limit, which is due to the
length of the 33 kV feeder and the loading. The studies have been conducted assuming that the voltage at the
BSP 66 kV busbars is 1 per unit. Actual voltages may be lower than indicated when the BSP 66 kV busbar
voltages are lower than 1 per unit during peak load conditions. KPLC is currently installing capacitive
compensation at a number of BSPs; Juja, Nairobi North, Embakasi and Ruaraka to improve network voltages.
Table 8-2 and Table 8-3 show loading on a few transformers and feeders respectively, at 88-100 % of thermal
rating.

Industrial Area primary substation provides supplies to several critical industrial loads. The 2x23 MVA
transformers at the substation are operating at almost 100% loading under normal operation, with the 66 kV
incoming feeders operating at 100% loading in some sections. Under outage conditions, it may be possible to
temporarily transfer some load to adjacent substations however load shedding would be required. In the short
term it is critical that the substation capacity is increased. This is considered further in the expansion plans for
2013, described in the next section.
Peak technical losses (at the time of maximum demand) on the 66 kV and 33 kV distribution network in the
Nairobi Region were calculated at 5.8 % of demand. Note that this does not include losses on the 11 kV and LV
networks.
Two of the 11 kV feeders in Nairobi; Peponi Road and Villa Franca, were modelled from single line diagrams
provided by KPLC. Peponi Road feeder predominantly serves commercial and domestic load, and Villa Franca
feeder serves industrial load. The peak load assumed for the Villa Franca feeder was split proportionally across
the distribution transformers connected to the feeder. The results of the feeder analysis are presented in Table
8-4.
Feeder loading and voltages are within planning limits. The feeders are relatively short and with adequate
conductor size, resulting in relatively low losses.
Based on information provided by KPLC, all 11 kV and 66 kV switchgear was assumed to be rated at 25 kA and
31.5 kA respectively. With the exception of the 11 kV bus-section circuit breaker at Industrial Area which is
operated normally open, all 11 kV bus-sections were assumed to be operated normally closed.
The calculated 66 kV fault levels were found to be within the switchgear rating. However the studies indicate a
short circuit level at Nairobi South 11 kV of 105 % of rating and Nairobi West 11 kV of 103 % of rating. These
potential short-circuit level issues should be investigated further. A possible short-term solution would be to
operate these substations with the 11 kV bus-sections in the open position. However, as detailed in Section
4.1.2 of Volume II - Design Manual, we recommend installing series reactors in series with the substation bus
sections to reduce the fault current. It should be noted that in situations where the bus section cannot be run
open for security of supply reasons, series reactors would never be installed in series with feeders in a radial
system. Where the fault level cannot be reduced to within the switchgear rating, the switchgear should be
replaced with adequately rated equipment.
8.3.1 33 kV Network
The Mount Kenya region covers 12 counties, Embu, Isiolo, Kiambu, Kerinyaga, Kitui, Laikipia, Machakos, Meru,
Muranga, Nyeri, Samburu, and Tharaka Nithi. Kiambu and Machakos counties extend into the Nairobi region;
and Laikipia is shared with the West region.
A geographical view of the study region is presented in Figure 8-3. The GIS map displays network including
BSPs, primary substations and feeders.
The main BSPs in the Mount Kenya region are; Kiganjo 132/33 kV, Nanyuki 132/33 kV, Meru 132/33 kV and
there are smaller capacity supplies at hydro power plants at Gitaru, Masinga, Kamburu and Kiambere. There is a
double circuit 66 kV line between Juja Road 132/66 kV in Nairobi region and Tana 66/11 kV in Mount Kenya to
facilitate import and export between regions. These lines also feed Thika 66/33 kV which may also be
considered a BSP.
A schematic showing the connectivity of the BSPs and the primary substations is presented in Figure 8-4 and in
Appendix C. The 33 kV network comprises 25 feeders, 32 primary substations and approximately 500 33/0.4 kV
distribution transformers. Approximately 28% of the load in the Mount Kenya region is supplied via 33/0.4 kV
distribution transformers.
Mangu 132/66, Githambo 132/33 and Gatundu 132/33 kV substations have been or are due to be commissioned
within the year 2012, after the data collection was completed. For this reason, these substations and their
associated feeders are included in the model from 2013 onwards. The geographical coordinates of the
substations and the layout of the feeders were provided by KPLC. The loading on the new feeders was assumed
based on the reconfiguration of the network to optimise terminal voltages at normally open points.
Data for the peak primary substation and 33 kV feeder loads was obtained from the KPLC counterpart staff and
from the national control centre at Juja Road. Confirmation of feeder topology and position of normally open
points were obtained from live switching diagrams at the regional control centre at Kiganjo. Diversity factors were
applied to peak primary substation and distribution transformer loads to ensure the feeder loads in the power
system model matched the measured values.
Load flow analysis on the 2012 model indicates low voltages of less than 80 % on the Karatina-Sagana-Kutus-
Kerugoya-Embu feeder from Kiganjo. The minimum voltage on all other feeders was found to remain above the
minimum planning limit of 90%. Full details of the load flow analysis in 2012 may be found in Appendix C.
Peak technical losses (at the time of maximum demand) on the 33 kV distribution network in the Mt. Kenya
Region were calculated at 7.1 % of demand. Note that this does not include losses on the 11 kV and LV
networks.
8.4.1 33 kV Network
The Coast region covers 7 counties; Kajiado, Kilifi, Lamu, Kwale, Mombasa, Taita Taveta and Tana River.
The main BSPs in the Coast region are; Kipevu 132/33 kV, Kilifi 132/33 kV, Rabai 220/132/33 kV, Galu
132/33 kV and New Bamburi 132/33 kV, and there are smaller capacity supplies at Voi 132/33/11 kV and
Maungu 132/11 kV. Several other transmission small substations are connected to the 132 kV line from Juja
Road to Rabai, however serve only industrial loads.
A geographical view of the study region is presented in Figure 8-5. The GIS map displays the network including;
BSPs, primary substations and feeders.
A schematic showing the connectivity of the BSPs and the primary substations is presented in Figure 8-6 and
Appendix D.
The 33 kV network comprises over 34 feeders, 40 primary substations and approximately 320 33/0.4 kV
distribution transformers. Approximately 22% of the load in the Coast region is supplied via 33/0.4 kV distribution
transformers.
The 220/33 kV substations at Malindi and Garsen and their associated feeders are included in the model from
2013 onwards. The geographical coordinates of the substation and the layout of the feeders were provided by
KPLC. The loading on the new feeders was assumed based on the reconfiguration of the network to optimise
terminal voltages at normally open points.
Data for the peak primary substation and 33 kV feeder loads was obtained from the KPLC counterpart staff and
from the national control centre at Juja Road. Confirmation of feeder topology and position of normally open
points were obtained from switching diagrams at the regional drawing office in Mombasa. Diversity factors were
applied to peak primary substation and distribution transformer loads to ensure the feeder loads in the power
system model matched the measured values.
Load flow analysis on the 2012 model indicates that the minimum voltage on all feeders remains above the
minimum planning limit of 0.9 pu, although voltages are close to minimum values on the Loitokotok feeder from
Voi BSP and on the Mambrui feeder from Malindi. Voltage improvements may be possible through tapping the
132/33 kV transformer. The model indicates a thermal overload of 3 percent on the Voi 33/11 kV 2.5 MVA
transformer.
Full details of the load flow analysis in 2012 may be found in Appendix D.
Peak technical losses (at the time of maximum demand) on the 33 kV distribution network in the Coast Region
were calculated at 2.9 % of demand. Note that this does not include losses on the 11 kV and LV networks.
8.5.1 33 kV Network
The Western region covers the major urban areas of Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret. There are a number of tea
plantations which operate on a commercial basis in the Kericho area of the Rift Valley province. The majority of
the Western region comprises small market towns and sparsely populated rural areas where land is primarily
used for agriculture.
The 132 kV transmission system feeds 10 132/33 kV bulk supply points. The 33 kV network comprises 52 radial
feeders, 71 primary substations and approximately 2000 33/0.4kV distribution transformers. Approximately 40%
of the load in the Western region is supplied via 33/0.433 kV secondary distribution transformers.
There are small generating stations at Gogo Falls and Eburru, which generate electricity from hydro and steam
resources respectively.
A geographical view of the study region is presented in Figure 8-7. The GIS map displays the network including;
BSPs, primary substations and feeders.
The schematics showing the connectivity of the BSPs and the primary substations in the three sub-regions is
presented in Figure 8-8, Figure 8-9 and Figure 8-10. (Note that these diagrams may be viewed more clearly in
Appendix E.)
There is significant expansion on-going in the Western region. This is evident from the number of upgrades to the
existing system including transformer replacements, new bulk supply points and new primary substations.
Rangala 2x23MVA 132/33 kV substation was commissioned after the data collection was completed. The
geographical coordinates of the substation and the layout of the feeders were provided by KPLC. The MVA
loading on the new feeders was calculated based on proposed reconfigurations of the network to optimise
terminal voltages at the normally open points.
Figure 8-9: Western Region Schematic – North Rift and West Kenya (Musaga and Rangala BSPs)
Data for 33 kV feeder loading and primary substation peak loads was obtained from the control centres at Lessos
and Nakuru in the Western region. Where primary substation load data was unavailable a 50 % load factor was
assumed, based on transformer capacity. Assumed data has been highlighted in the 2012 load table presented
in Appendix E.
KPLC advised that normally open points are regularly relocated to respond to outages and on-going
maintenance, and are generally not fixed on a permanent basis. For modelling purposes, normally open points
were determined from feeder loading data for optimum terminal voltages along a feeder. It was confirmed by
KPLC that the bus couplers on the 33 kV and 11 kV busbars are operated open at Nakuru, Sibembe and Obote
Road primary substations. These conditions were agreed for the planning period, and should be assessed for
short circuit levels before they are operated closed.
A number of voltage issues were found on the existing 33 kV network as listed in Table 8-5. Low voltages are
apparent due to extreme feeder length in the majority of cases.
KPLC advised that a number of in-line voltage regulators and several capacitor banks providing reactive
compensation for voltage support exist on the system. These devices were found to be out of service during the
data collection period of this study (due to various malfunctions) with the exception of a 3 MVAr capacitor bank at
Kisii 33/11 kV primary substation. This single device has been included in the model.
Transformers at Kisumu, Kegati and Rivertex 132/33 kV substations are overloaded in the existing system under
peak load conditions. These are presented in Table 8-6. These have been identified by KPLC and several
committed projects exist for the reinforcement of these substations. Reinforcements have been reassessed with
respect to the modelling results and are included in the list of proposed projects presented in Appendix E.
The 7.5 MVA transformer at Obote Road 33/11 kV substation will exceed 100 % of rated capacity by the end of
2012 (loading 110 %). KPLC staff advised that this is due to be replaced with 1x23 MVA transformer towards the
end of 2012. The existing substation configuration is two 33/11 kV transformers rated 1x23 MVA & 1x7.5 MVA.
The new 33/11 kV substation configuration will be 2x23 MVA.
No Western Region 33 kV feeders were found to be overloaded based on the 2012 analysis.
Peak technical losses (at the time of maximum demand) on the 33 kV distribution network in the West Region
were calculated at 6.7 % of demand. Note that this does not include losses on the 11 kV and LV networks.

Three representative 11 kV feeders were modelled from single line diagrams provided by KPLC. The feeders are
supplied from Obote Road and Kisumu East 33/11 kV primary substations. Kisumu East is assumed to supply
the residential neighbourhoods of Kisumu. Obote Road is located close to the industrial area of Kisumu and is
assumed to feed the commercial areas close to the centre of the town. Load data was unavailable for the
feeders and a transformer load factor of 70% was assumed. The results of the feeder analysis are presented in
Table 8-7.
The residential and industrial feeders present no loading or voltage issues. Conductors are generally rated for
higher current capacity close the primary substation. 11 kV feeders exit the primary substation via short cable
sections (185mm2 AL PILC) before connecting to OHL sections (75mm2 and 150mm2 ASCR conductors). Line
sections (25mm2 ASCR) are generally installed for short spurs to distribution transformers.
Voltage and loading issues are evident on the Kondele feeder supplied from Obote Road primary substation.
This is due to low thermal rating of conductors as a result of inadequate sizing. Several line sections feeding a
large proportion of the load are of conductor type 25mm2 ASCR causing an effective “bottleneck”. Evaluation
suggests that the planning guidelines provided by KPLC have not been applied during the extension of a spur
from the main feeder. It is recommended that the design guidelines are applied for all future applications of 11 kV
feeders.
This section of the report describes the short-medium term distribution network expansion plans that have been
developed for each of the KPLC regions to cover the period up to 2017.
The plans take account of the many ongoing and committed distribution reinforcement and expansion projects
that have received funding and are due for completion over the next few years. Ongoing and committed
transmission projects are also considered to the extent that they will impact on the distribution network. These
are essentially extensions of the transmission network to create new BSPs, which provide more infeeds to the
distribution network.
Detailed network analysis has been conducted for each of the regions covering each year from 2013 – 2017 and
further distribution projects have been proposed over the short-medium term period, beyond the ongoing and
committed projects mentioned above. The need for additional BSP and reinforcement of existing BSPs has also
been identified across the network as detailed below.
The need for the projects is driven by the demand forecast which has been disaggregated to county level as
described in Section 4 and then applied to the individual substations across the network. The proposed projects
should be considered the minimum requirement to meet the forecast demand whilst complying with the planning
criteria identified in Section 5.
Reliability of supply is a key issue for KPLC. Many parts of the network suffer from poor reliability which the
Distribution Master Plan aims to address. This is achieved primarily through proposals for increased levels of
transformer redundancy at BSPs and primary substations, with the aim of achieving N-1 security of supply in
accordance with the planning criteria by 2017.
Excessively long feeders result in poor power quality which may be addressed in the short term by capacitor
banks to provide power factor correction and thereby improve voltage regulation. However, the main impact of
long feeders is poor reliability. The additional BSPs proposed will facilitate shorter feeder lengths which will
impact positively on reliability.
The projects proposed in this section are related to the four KPLC regions. The technical and economic case for
extension of the grid to off-grid areas to the north and east of the country is covered in Section 11.
For primary substations with only 1x23MVA transformer, an additional transformer should be added
when the load exceeds 50% of transformer rating.
A proportion of the load from the existing substation(s) is proposed to be transferred to the new
substation via switching on 11 kV.
Ensure that critical primary substations can be supplied from alternative sources.
Committed Projects
A number of projects are due to be commissioned over years 2013-2016 in the Nairobi region. Projects have
generally been considered committed where land has been obtained for commencement of civil works and
funding allocated. Projects expected to be completed within the 2013-2016 timeframe were identified and
presented to KPLC in the Interim Report. All committed projects are included in the models.
The committed projects consist of three new 220/66 kV BSPs associated with the Nairobi transmission ring;
Ngong, Athi River and Komo Rock, and four new 132/33 kV substations, Sultan Hamud, Wote, Machakos and
Kajiado, which are all due to be commissioned between the years 2014-15
Eighteen new 66/11 kV primary substations are also committed and due to be commissioned between the years
2013-2016; Eastleigh, Kiambu Road, Muthurwa, Ngong, Langata, City Square, Lavington, Lower Kabete, Ruai,
Uplands, Villa Franca, Kirigiti, Lukneya, Ndenderu, Rironi, Tala, Githunguri and Kasarani. Locations were
determined by knowledge of KPLC counterpart engineers and with reference to names of local
towns/settlements.
The committed 2x85 MW MSD power plants in the Athi River region were considered in the study. These power
plants will support the 66 kV network in this area when they are operational. However, due to the nature of these
power plants and the relatively high cost of fuel, it is likely that they will not be operated continuously. Load flow
studies were conducted for the most onerous conditions which would be when these power plants are out of
service.
Proposed Projects
Seven new 66/11 kV primary substations are proposed from 2013-2016 to meet the Nairobi region demand:
Dagoretti, Likoni Road (near Industrial Area s/s), Thika Drive In (near Eastleigh s/s), Umoja (near Tala s/s),
Kiserian (near Ngong BSP), Kagundo (near Komorock s/s) and Kitengela (near Athi s/s). A new 2x200 MVA
220/66 kV BSP is proposed in the Central Business District.
Proposed projects will require a detailed assessment into the local area to locate a suitable plot of land for
acquisition. Wayleaves for new feeders should be investigated and an environmental impact assessment should
be conducted. Approximate locations for new substations and routes of new feeders have been proposed using
GIS software, following roads and public rights of way where possible. Lengths of new feeders have been
calculated on this basis for use in the models and for cost analysis.
The schematics which show the development of the 66 kV and 33 kV distribution system in the Nairobi region on
a year by year basis, to meet the forecast demand, are included in Appendix B.
The developments and reinforcements for each year, with committed projects from KPLC and KETRACO, and
projects proposed by PB are presented in Appendix F.
2013
Committed projects
KPLC is currently decommissioning the Aggreko generators connected at Embakasi 66 kV and hence by the end
of 2012 the generation at Embakasi would be reduced from 120 MW to 30 MW. This will have an impact on the
existing 220/66 kV 90 MVA transformers at Embakasi as they would experience a major increase in load. Athi
River and Ngong BSPs are expected in 2014, and this will ease the loading on Embakasi.
Ruai and Kiambu Road substations were commissioned in late 2012 and therefore included in 2013 NEPLAN
model. Eastleigh, Muthurwa, Ngong and Langata primary substations are due to be commissioned in 2013.
A new 12 km, 300 mm2 66 kV single circuit line will be constructed between Kabete –Karen to supply the Karen,
Ngong and Kikiyu load. This new circuit will relieve loading on the 66 kV Nairobi North-Limuru overhead line and
improve voltages at Karen and Kikiyu. It should be noted that during an outage of Kabete-Karen line, under
voltages and circuit overloading are expected at Kikiyu, Karen and Ngong.
The entire load at Jevanjee (2x23 MVA s/s), which is a very old substation, will be transferred to Muthurwa (2x45
MVA s/s). Cathedral is a critical substation in the Central Business District supplied by one 66 kV cable from
either Nairobi West or Parklands. KPLC advised that Muthurwa would also be used to relieve some of the load at
Cathedral, Parklands and Kimathi, a neighbouring substation. Since the load in this area continues to grow, we
recommend that Jevanjee substation be refurbished and brought back in service in 2014.
There is significant residential and commercial development taking place in Ongata Rongai, currently fed from
Matasia. Karen currently supplies Langata town, which has several institutions; universities (2no.), several
colleges and schools and is growing at a fast rate. A new road is being built to serve Langata town, also
considered an affluent area. KPLC advised that some of the load at Karen and Matasia would be transferred to
Langata and Ngong to ease loading at the existing substation and improve reliability.
Major residential and commercial developments, Tatu City and Migaa, are being planned between Kiambu and
Ruiru towns with construction taking place over the next four years. Tatu City may be supplied at transmission
level due to the size of demand. However it is likely that satellite towns will spring up to serve these major
developments, with resultant significant growth in Kiambu county close to Ruaraka BSP. The 2x23 MVA 66/11 kV
transformers at Ruaraka are 25 years old and operating at close to 100 % capacity, particularly in the evenings.
Kiambu Road primary substation would be used to relieve load at Ruaraka, with Eastleigh taking some of the
load from Baba Dogo. However the Ruaraka 66/11 kV transformers would need to be upgraded to 45 MVA next
year.
Loading issues were identified at Industrial Area in the 2012 assessment. KPLC expect the load in the area to
continue to grow. Currently there are delays with acquiring land for a new substation to relieve demand on
Industrial Area. Due to the importance of the load it is recommended that the existing 2x23 MVA transformers at
substation be upgraded to 2x45 MVA to improve supply reliability. Transformer upgrades are also necessary at
Limuru and Kikuyu for security of supply.
33 kV capacitor banks are proposed at Kajiado and Machakos primary substations to provide voltage support on
the long 33 kV feeders.
2014
Committed projects
Ngong13, Athi River2, Sultan Hamud14 and Wote3 BSPs are to be commissioned this year, and have been
included in the 2014 model.
A number of primary substations previously supplied from Embakasi and Nairobi North BSP have been
reassigned to Ngong and Athi River BSP (Appendix B) to reduce loading on the former BSPs.
There are currently six cement factories in the Athi River locality supplied at 66 kV on overhead lines from
Embakasi. In addition, significant development is expected in this area in all sectors; industrial, commercial and
residential. Growth areas include flower farms (horticulture), chicken farms, and steel plants and cement
factories. Reassigning the 66 kV supplies for this area and the 11 kV supplies from Athi and EPZ primary
substations to Athi River from Embakasi will improve supply reliability in Athi and downstream feeders fed from
the primary substations.
Sultan Hamud and Wote will supply part of the load in the Machakos county originally supplied from EPZ primary
substation. There would be 15% reduction in the demand on EPZ.
City Square, Lavington, Uplands, Lower Kabete and Villa Franca primary substations are due to be
commissioned in 2014. It is also expected that Jevanjee refurbishment would be complete this year. The primary
substations are required to meet the load growth expected in Nairobi region. We understand that most
commercial businesses, primarily banks, would like to move outside the city centre to the Upper Hill area due to
limited space in the city centre. Supplies to this area will be from City Square primary substation. We have
therefore assumed going forward that growth within the city centre would be limited, with the demand moving to
neighbouring areas.
Kileleshwa substation experiences low voltages just outside the planning criteria when supplied from Ngong BSP
via Karen hence it is recommended that Kileleshwa substation is supplied from Nairobi North BSP via Westlands.
Ngong Road load is supplied from Ngong BSP via Karen. City Square and Cathedral would primarily be fed from
Embakasi BSP via Nairobi West. An alternative supply arrangement could be from Ngong BSP via Karen and
Ngong Road. If City Square and Cathedral are to be supplied from Ngong BSP then the overhead line from
Karen s/s to Ngong Road s/s would need to be upgraded by 2014 to avoid overloading of the existing 150 mm 2
single circuit by 91%. In addition a new 300 mm2 single circuit between Karen and Ngong s/s would be required
to avoid overloading of existing line by 56% and also low voltages are experienced at Kikiyu (0.87 pu), Ngong
Road (0.81 pu), City Square (0.81 pu) Kileleshwa (0.81 pu) and Cathedral (0.81 pu) . However, if only Ngong
Road and City Square load (Kileleshwa supplied from Nairobi North BSP via Westlands and Cathedral supplied
from Juja BSP via Parklands) are supplied from Ngong BSP via Karen there are no loading issues. It should be
13
2x200 MVA 220/66 kV substation
14
2x5 MVA 132/33 kV substation
noted that when Cathedral load is supplied from Juja BSP via Parklands, Juja BSP transformers are 5%
overloaded.
If City Square and Cathedral load is supplied from Ngong BSP via Karen then the existing 150mm2 overhead line
between Karen and Ngong Road is 50% overloaded. 300mm2 single circuit between Karen and Ngong s/s is
overloaded by 33% and also under voltages are experienced at Kikiyu (0.88pu), Ngong Road (0.84 pu), City
Square (0.83 pu) and Cathedral (0.83 pu).
An additional transformer would be required at Ruaraka BSP and Nairobi North BSP for security of supply in
2014. Additional transformers are proposed at Cianda, NSSF, EPZ and Mombasa Road for supply security.
With continued load growth, a new substation is crucial to provide reliable supplies to existing and prospective
customers in the Industrial Area and Eastleigh. We have proposed a new 66/11 kV 2x45 MVA substation (Likoni
Road) to be fed from Juja Road BSP on the Morris Company feeder. A new 66/11 kV 2x45 MVA primary
substation is proposed at Thika Drive-In, supplied from Juja Road BSP. This will relieve loading on Eastleigh,
which will in turn allow load relief on Kimathi. The most appropriate location for the substation would need to be
determined by KPLC.
2015
Committed projects
Komo Rock, Machakos15, and Kajiado BSPs are to be commissioned this year, and have been included in the
2015 model. Juja Road BSP is due to be upgraded in 2015, resulting in additional transformer capacity.
The commissioning of Kajiado and Machakos BSPs would significantly reduce the load on EPZ primary
substation. The capacitive compensation recommended in 2013 at Kajiado and Machakos primary substations
would no longer be required once their respective BSPs are commissioned this year. The capacitive
compensation could be used elsewhere in the network. The load demand from the technology park, Konza, has
not been considered in the expansion plans because Konza BSP is to be commissioned this year.
Rironi, Kirigiti, Ndenderu, Lukneya and Tala primary substations are due to be commissioned in 2015 and would
be required for security of supply.
The proposed Komo Rock BSP should relieve Juja Road BSP and also provide an alternative supply to
Syokimau, Jevanjee, Muthurwa and Kimathi. We propose a double circuit connection from Komo Rock BSP to
the existing double circuit from Juja Road BSP to Kimathi. An additional dedicated circuit is recommended from
Komo Rock BSP to Muthurwa substation to achieve N-1 compliance.
By 2015, additional BSPs are required in the Nairobi region to meet the forecast load growth in the Nairobi
region. Thika Road BSP was proposed in the Nairobi 220kV Ring Study conducted by PB in 2010. This study
confirms that the BSP is needed to primarily relieve loading at Juja Road BSP and Nairobi North BSP. An
additional BSP is required to primarily relieve the loading on Embakasi BSP. We propose that the BSP is located
15
2x90MVA 132/33 kV substation
We propose City Square, Nairobi West, Cathedral, Ngong Road and Kileleshwa load should be supplied from the
CBD BSP. Ngong Road and Kileleshwa load is supplied via City Square. A double circuit cable is recommended
between CBD BSP and City Square, however it should be noted that with outage of one of the double circuit
cable the remaining cable will be 28% overloaded,
2016
Committed projects
Githunguri and Kasarani primary substations are due to be commissioned in 2016 to improve security of supply.
Dagoretti and Kitengela substations are proposed to meet demand growth in Limuru and Athi area’s respectively.
With continued load growth around the Komo Rock area, a new substation 66/11 kV 2x23MVA in the Kangundo
area is proposed to provide reliable supplies to existing and prospective customers in that area. Similarly, due to
the load growth around the Ngong area a new 66/11 kV 2x23 MVA Kiserian substation is recommended. The
most appropriate location for the substations would need to be determined by KPLC. It is also recommended to
upgrade Cathedral substation to 2x45 MVA to meet demand growth in that area.
To meet N-1 compliance an additional 23 MVA 66/11 kV transformer is recommended at Uplands and Tala
primary substations. The existing Nyaga 1x7.5MVA 33/11 kV transformer was 97.5% loaded in 2015 and to meet
N-1 compliance an additional 7.5MVA 33/11 kV transformer is recommended. An additional line is also proposed
between Ruaraka substation and Ruiru substation and also between Ruiru 33 kV and Nyaga for N-1 compliance.
To provide alternative supply to Kangundo a new line is proposed between Tala and Kangundo substation.
We recommend that Kasarani s/s should be fed from Juja BSP. However, a new line is proposed between Thika
Road BSP and Kasarani s/s to provide an alternative supply to comply under N-1 conditions. A line is proposed
between Githunguri s/s and Cianda s/s for security of supply.
2017
Committed projects
No committed projects.
With continued load growth, the existing Komo Rock substation transformers will not be compliant under N-1
conditions. Therefore we recommend a new primary substation 2x23MVA 66/11 kV at Umoja to provide reliable
supplies to both existing and prospective customers in that area.
Steel Billet s/s currently has only one source of supply from Juja BSP. Therefore a new circuit is proposed
between Steel Billet s/s and Komo Rock BSP to provide an alternative supply and meet N-1 compliance.
Similarly, an additional circuit is proposed between Embakasi BSP and Mombasa Road substation to comply
under N-1 conditions.
9.2.2 Assessment
If the committed and proposed projects defined over the medium term are implemented then the system voltages
will be within the planning criteria. Under normal operating conditions the loading on the 66 kV and 33 kV feeders
will also be within rating.
Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 show the transformer and lines loaded above 80 % of their rating in Nairobi Region
(2013-2017). It can be seen in the tables below that the overload issues are resolved in following years due to
developments under the expansion plan. Embakasi BSP transformers are 17.5 % overloaded in 2013 due to
reduction in generation at Embakasi from 120 MW (2012) to 30MW (2013). If there is further reduction in
generation at Embakasi BSP an additional 90 MVA transformer may be required.
No reinforcements are proposed for Embakasi BSP and Industrial Area sections as there is an alternative source
of supply available to feed Industrial Area from Nairobi West.

Losses
The calculated 66 kV and 33 kV losses are presented in Table 9-3 for 2013-2017. The development of the
network in the short term results in a reduction in system losses from 5.4% to 3.6% which will reduce the cost of
operating the system.

2017 3.6%
Short-Circuit Analysis
Short circuit levels (exceeding 80 % of switchgear rating) are shown in Table 9-4. The studies suggest that short
circuit levels at Likoni Road, Villa Franca and Parklands will be greater than 80 % but within the 11 kV switchgear
rating of 25 kA for years 2013-2017. The short circuit level at Nairobi South (3x23 MVA) is above the 11 kV
switchgear rating throughout the study period and it may be necessary to operate this substation with the 11 kV
bus-section breaker in the open position.
Short circuit levels at Eastleigh and Thika Drive Inn are above the 11 kV switchgear rating when fed from Juja
BSP. However, the SC level is below the switchgear rating when supplied from Thika Road BSP. Muthurwa
SC level is above the 11 kV switchgear rating when fed from Juja BSP. However, the SC level is below the
switchgear rating when it is supplied from Komo Rock BSP.
Ruaraka and Industrial Area SC levels are above the 11 kV switch gear rating when existing 2x23MVA
transformers are upgraded to 2x45MVA transformers at their primary substation. Mombasa Road SC levels are
above the 11 kV switch gear rating when the existing 1x23MVA transformer is upgraded to 1x45MVA transformer
to achieve 2x45MVA configuration at Mombasa Road primary substation.
For existing 11 kV switchgear where the SC levels exceeds the rating, as a short term solution, it may be
necessary to operate the substation with the bus-section breaker in the open position. Table 9-4 shows that for
2017 with the 11 kV bus-section breakers run open the short circuit levels would be within the switch gear rating.
As detailed in Section 4.1.2 of Volume II Design Manual, we recommend installing series reactors in series with
the substation bus sections to reduce the fault current. It should be noted that in situations where the bus section
cannot be run open for security of supply reasons, series reactors would never be installed in series with feeders
in a radial system. Where the fault level cannot be reduced to within the switchgear rating, the switchgear should
be replaced with adequately rated equipment.
For some of the new substations, 31.5 kA 11 kV switchgear may be required. However the existing protection,
earthing and downstream switch gear should also be assessed.
Contingency Studies
Contingency studies were conducted on the 2017 model to assess the impact of N-1 outages:
With an outage of one circuit of the double circuit between Athi BSP and Athi substation, the remaining
circuit is 63 % overloaded.
A double circuit is recommended between Villa Franca and Embakasi NSSF tee-off. With an outage of
the existing single circuit, Villa Franca will be fed from Embakasi –Firestone tee-off which is 98%
loaded under normal operating condition and will be 88% overloaded if Villa Franca load is fed from
that feeder.
With an outage of one circuit of the recommended double circuit between Embakasi-NSSF tee-off
feeding NSSF and Villa Franca.
In the existing system there is only one source of supply to feed Steel Billet s/s therefore a new link is
recommended between Steel Billet-Komo Rock Kimati tee-off to meet N-1 contingency.
With an outage of the Embakasi BSP-Firestone link and when all load along that circuit is fed from the
Nairobi West s/s- Industrial Area s/s line then the new cable between CBD BSP and Nairobi West is
39% overloaded..
With an outage of Komo Rock BSP-Ruai s/s line and all the Ruai s/s, Tala s/s load supplied from the
Komo Rock-Kangundo line then:
With an outage of the Komo Rock BSP-Komo Rock s/s line and all Komo Rock s/s, with Kangundo s/s
load supplied from Komo Rock BSP- Ruai s/s line then there are voltage and loading issues hence
load shedding may be required.
The Mombasa – Kisumu railway will pass through Kiambu County, part of which lies within the Mount Kenya
region and is expected to draw some load from the 33 kV network over the next five years. Isiolo town has also
been designated a ‘Resort City’. Isiolo and Kiambu counties are expected to grow at a higher rate than other
counties in the Mount Kenya region. Load growth for these projects has been reflected in the annual county
growth rate evaluated from the load forecast.
The new Iron and steel smelting plant in Meru County is designated as a ‘Vision 2030’ flagship project, however
as the demand for this plant is expected to be in excess of 300 MW it is likely to be supplied from the
transmission system rather than from the distribution system in Meru.
For primary substations with only a 1x2.5MVA or 1x7.5 MVA transformer, a new 1x7.5 MVA substation
within the 11 kV planning vicinity is proposed where load at the existing substation is close to 100% of
transformer rating. Where load is increasing rapidly, 15 MVA transformers are proposed.
A proportion of the load from the existing substation(s) is proposed to be transferred to the new
substation via switching on 11 kV.
Where load at the existing substation is greater than 8 MVA or for remote substations, N-1 compliance
is achieved by the proposition of a second transformer of the same or higher rating.
Where load at the existing substation is less than 8 MVA, N-1 compliance is achieved on a sub-region
level. New transformers will not be proposed where there is sufficient spare capacity from nearby
primary substations.
Committed Projects
A number of planned projects are due to be commissioned over years 2013-2015 in the Mount Kenya region.
Projects have generally been considered committed where land has been obtained for commencement of civil
works and funding allocated. Projects expected to be completed within the 2013-2015 timeframe have been
identified and presented to KPLC in the interim report. All committed projects are included in the models.
The committed projects consisted of eight new 132/33 kV substations, which are due to be commissioned
between the years 2012-14 at Githambo, Kutus, Mwingi, Kyeni, Isiolo, Kitui and Wote16. Mangu 132/66 kV
substation was also considered.
Five new 33/11 kV primary substations are also committed and due to be commissioned between the years
2013-201, including Nyeri (Ruingu), Embu East, Gatundu, JKUAT (Juja), and Tala16. Two new 66/11 kV
substations at Thika Industrial and Thika North were also identified. Geographic locations for all substations and
feeder connections were assumed for all projects. Locations were determined by knowledge of KPLC counterpart
engineers and with reference to names of local towns/settlements.
Proposed Projects
Proposed projects will require a detailed assessment into the local area to locate a suitable plot of land for
acquisition. Wayleaves for new feeders should be investigated and an environmental impact assessment should
be conducted.
Approximate positions of new substations and routes of new feeders have determined using GIS software,
following roads and public rights of way where possible. Lengths of new feeders have been calculated on this
basis for use in the models and for cost analysis.

This substation is modelled in the Nairobi region.
Schematics showing the connectivity of the new projects and tables identifying the developments/reinforcements
for each year, with committed projects from KPLC and KETRACO; and proposed projects by PB are included in
Appendix C.
9.3.2 Assessment
Without reinforcement, transformer and line thermal capacity violations will occur and low voltages will affect
many of the feeders in the Mount Kenya region even in normal operation; and will be more evident in the event of
losing the main supply from a BSP, leading to severe load shedding.
Reinforcements have been proposed to maintain the voltages at substations and on feeders to within ±10 percent
of the nominal value, in accordance with the proposed planning criteria. In addition to the commissioning of
committed BSPs in the years 2013-2014, this has been achieved through additional reactive compensation and
reconfiguration of feeder normally open points.
To reduce losses; to meet the increasing demand and ensure security of supply, additional primary substations,
power transformers and new/upgraded lines have been proposed. New substations or transformers have been
included from the year 2015 onward, due to the lead time in procurement of equipment and land.
The findings of the network assessment are detailed in the sub sections below.
2013
Committed Reinforcements
As mentioned above, Mangu 132/66 kV is due to be commissioned within 2012 (but included in the 2013 model),
feeding Thika 66/11 kV substation via a single 300 mm2 ACSR overhead line of approximately 5 km, eliminating
the need to import power from Juja Road.
Thika Industrial (East) 66/11 kV substation is also due to be connected in 2013 and fed from the Thika tee on the
66 kV Juja Road – Tana line via two 300mm2 ACSR overhead lines. 50% of the load upon the Industrial 1, 2, 3
and Bidco feeders originating from (existing) Thika will be expected to be transferred to this new substation.
KPLC has indicated that Githambo 132/33 kV substation will be established close to the existing Githambo
primary substation, at the end of Githambo feeder from Thika. Gatundu 132/33 kV will also be established
approximately 6 kilometres south of Ngethu.
Kutus 132/33 kV substation will be established in 2013, intersecting the feeder from Sagana towards Embu
primary substation.
Mwingi 132/33 kV substation intersects the spur to Waita on the Kitui feeder from Kindaruma.
Nyeri 33/11 kV primary substation is due to be commissioned by the end of 2013, fed from Kiganjo 132/33 kV
BSP. It is anticipated that approximately 20% of the Othaya Town feeder from Othaya substation and 35% of the
Nyeri Town feeder from Kiganjo will be transferred to the new Nyeri substation.
Embu East 33/11 kV primary is also likely to be commissioned during year 2013, supplied through an extension
of the 33 kV Sagana – Embu line near Embu. It is proposed the load on the new Embu East substation will
comprise of 20% of the Embu town and the whole Siakago feeder load from the existing Embu substation.
A new primary substation is committed at Muranga. This will be connected to the 33 kV network at both Sagana
and Githambo.
A normally open point is proposed on either side of Ngethu, allowing it to be fed directly from Gatundu, thus
reducing the losses and improving the voltage profile on the existing feeder. Githambo and Thika will then supply
the line distribution transformer loads up to Ngethu.
A new normally open point is proposed on the Sagana side of Karatina primary substation, allowing the newly
established Kutus 132/33 kV substation to feed Kutus (primary), Kerugoya and Sagana and eliminating the
voltage issues upon this line which were indicated in the analysis for the 2012 model.
Compensation is proposed at Naro Moru substation, to improve the voltage profile on the line between Kiganjo
and Nanyuki. In addition to compensation, a dedicated 23 km line to Mweiga primary substation from Kiganjo is
desirable to reduce the loading on the existing feeder and improve voltages nearer to Naro Moru substation.
A similar scheme is proposed for the 33 kV ring from Thika substation towards Muka Mukuu and Ndula, by
reconductoring the line from Thika to Ndula via Muka Mukuu with 150mm2 ACSR; uprating the capacity to
exceed the demand and installing a capacitor bank at Muka Mukuu substation to support the voltage and prevent
issues arising from being a further 8 kilometres from the main line. This allows all substations to be fed from
either side of the ring in the event of losing supply.
KPLC could consider the option of supplying Muka Mukuu and Matuu from Kilimambogo BSP.
To allow substations on the longer feeders to be fed from alternate supplies, 33 kV capacitors are also
recommended at Marima (from Meru) and Kiganjo (from Nanyuki).
A second 66 kV circuit from Mangu to Thika has been proposed for increased capacity and/or security of supply.
Other Analysis
Capacity issues are experienced in the Meru region. The Meru 33/11 kV primary substation has 1x2.5, 1x7.5MVA
arrangement, operating with an open bus section on 11 kV. The 7.5 MVA transformer supplying the load for the
Nyambene and Imenti 11 kV feeders is overloaded and therefore this substation is proposed for a capacity
upgrade in 2015. Until then, it is recommended that a small proportion of load is transferred to another primary
during peak times.
The transformer at Meru 132/33 kV BSP is also overloaded in year 2013 and an additional transformer is
proposed in 2015.

2014
Committed Reinforcements
Four new 132/33 kV BSPs are due to be established in 2014. Kyeni and Isiolo will be installed with 1x23 MVA
132/33 kV transformers, while Kitui and Wote will be constructed with 1x5MVA 132/33 kV transformers.
Three additional primary substations are expected to be constructed in 2014, Thika North, JKUAT and Gatundu.
Thika North will be constructed with 1x23 MVA 66/11 kV transformer, fed by a single 12 km 66 kV 300mm 2 ACSR
OHL from Mangu. 50% of the load on the 11 kV Makuyu feeder from Thika and 50% of the load on the 11 kV
Thika feeder from Makuyu is intended for transfer to Thika North upon commissioning.
JKUAT North will be constructed with 2x7.5 MVA 66/11 kV transformers, fed by a single 5.5 km 66 kV 300mm2
ACSR OHL from Mangu. It is intended that 100% of the load on the 11 kV Ndarugu feeder from Thika is
transferred to JKUAT upon commissioning.
Gatundu will be established with 1x7.5 MVA 33/11 kV transformer, fed by a single 1.5 km 75mm2 ACSR OHL
from Gatundu BSP. The load on the 11 kV ‘transmitters’ feeder from the existing Ruiru substation will be
transferred to Gatundu upon commissioning.
Isiolo BSP has been modelled teeing into Isiolo feeder close to the spur to MURERWA CRUSHER. Mwingi
132/33 kV substation is assumed to link with the spur towards Waita from Kitui/Kindaruma near Mwingi town.
Wote is assumed to connect close to the existing line passing Wote town from Athi 66/33/11 kV substation; as
such this BSP will be modelled in the Nairobi region.
A normally open point has been proposed on the Kitui side of Kithioko, allowing it to be fed directly from
Kindaruma. An additional NOP is assumed near Ndolos Corner Market Centre. The selection of these two NOPs
will reduce the losses and improve the voltage profile on the existing feeders in Kitui County.
Due to the construction of Kyeni BSP, it is proposed to move the NOP on the 33 kV Kamburu – Meru line which
currently resides at Marima, to Kanyakine where supply from Meru BSP is retained. This reduces the transformer
loading at Meru, and improves voltages and losses on the Kamburu – Meru line.
The peak load at Meru 33/11 kV substation is expected to be in excess of 10MVA, therefore a new 25 km
150mm2 ACSR OHL is proposed as an alternative supply to Meru primary in the event of losing supply at Meru
BSP; which would be utilised in conjunction with a new 33 kV capacitor bank at Meru to maintain voltages above
0.9pu.
Reconductoring of the Kiganjo – Nanyuki line with 52 km of 33 kV 150mm2 ACSR OHL is proposed to reduce
losses in normal operation and ensure that Nanyuki will be able to supply Naro Moru, Mweiga and Kiganjo
(primary) in the event of losing supply from Kiganjo BSP.
Other Analysis
Low voltages are exhibited on the 33 kV Maua feeder from Meru, which is 91 % in the worst case. By 2015, the
capacitor bank at Kianjai proposed for installation in 2013 will not be sufficient to maintain the voltage above
90 % in this region. No other low voltage conditions were found.
The same capacity issues as detailed in year 2013 are present in 2014 as indicated below:

2015
Committed Reinforcements
By 2015, the committed BSPs in the Mount Kenya region will be complete, leaving only three committed primary
substations to be established in 2015, Mwea, Tala and Kangema.
Mwea will be constructed with 1x33/11 kV 7.5 MVA transformer, supplied by an 8.1 km extension of the 75mm 2
ACSR OHL from Tana to Sagana towards Wangura town. Alternatively, Mwea primary could potentially be
supplied directly from Kutus BSP. The existing 11 kV ‘Mwea’ feeder from Sagana will be transferred to Mwea
primary substation upon commissioning.
Kangema will be erected with 2x33/11 kV 7.5 MVA transformers and supplied by a single 8.9 km 150mm2 ACSR
OHL from the Githambo BSP. Kangema will take 100% of the load on the 11 kV ‘Kangema’ feeder from
Githambo and 30% of the load from the existing 11 kV ‘Chinga’ feeder from Othaya substation.
Tala will be created with 1x66/11 23 MVA transformer and supplied from the Nairobi region. 40 percent of the
11 kV load on the ‘Tala Kangundo’ feeder from Muka Mukuu is proposed for transfer to Tala. Further details of
this substation may be found in the Nairobi section of the report.
Due to the lead time in procurement, 2015 is the first year that proposals are made for additional transformers at
existing substations to resolve capacity and security of supply issues; and for new substations.
At the Mount Kenya BSPs, new 132/33 kV transformers are proposed at Kiganjo - 1x45 MVA to replace one of
the existing 23 MVA units; and an additional 1x23 MVA unit at Meru and Githambo to introduce redundancy.
Additional transformers at 33/11 kV primary substations are required to meet growing demand at Kiirua (1x2.5
MVA) Sagana Falls (1x7.5 MVA), Marima (1x7.5 MVA), Kyeni (1x7.5 MVA) and Meru (1x15 MVA, replacing 1x2.5
MVA unit).
An alternative solution to replacing the transformers at Kiganjo BSP would be to build a new BSP at Othayo.
A new 33/11 kV primary substation with a single 7.5 MVA transformer is proposed near Nkuene town to offload
the Meru (primary) and Kanyakine substations which are forecast to be heavily loaded. Nkuene should be fed by
a 7.6 km tee from the main 33 kV line from Kamburu to Meru, using 150mm2 ACSR OHL. A 33 kV capacitor is
also recommended at Nkuene substation to support the voltage on the Kamburu – Meru 33 kV line when being
fed from Kyeni BSP in the event of losing supply from Meru BSP. Nkuene should take approximately 60% of the
load from the 11 kV ‘Imenti’ feeder from Meru (primary) and 40% of the load on the ‘Town’ feeder from
Kanyakine.
A new 33/11 kV primary substation with a single 7.5 MVA transformer is proposed near Mukuweini trading centre
in Nyeri County to offload Karatina substation. Mukuweini substation will be fed by a single 8.7 km tee from
Othaya feeder from Kiganjo. Approximately 70% of the 11 kV ‘Mukuweini’ feeder load, currently being supplied
from Karatina is identified for transfer to the new substation.
Finally, it is intended for 100% of the load at the existing Ndarugu substation to be transferred to JKUAT, which is
due to be commissioned in 2014, because of persistent vandalism and frequent outages of Ndarugu substation.
This transfer will reduce losses on the medium voltage networks by switching from 33 kV to a 66 kV supply and
increase security of supply in the Thika region. Due to the magnitude of this load, a second 5.5 km 66 kV
300mm2 ACSR OHL from Mangu to JKUAT is recommended for redundancy.
Other Analysis
No voltage or thermal capacity issues on feeders or HV substation transformers.
2016
Committed Reinforcements
There are no committed reinforcements for the Mount Kenya region in the year 2016.
Kagumo shall have 1x7.5 MVA transformer, and be fed primarily by an 9 km 75mm2 ACSR OHL extension of the
existing line to Kerugoya substation. A 33 kV capacitor should also be installed at Kagumo, which will support
voltage in normal operation. An alternate supply should be provided via an addition 28 km 150mm2 ACSR OHL
line directly to Kagumo from Kiganjo, so that in the event of losing supply from Kutus BSP, Kiganjo can supply
Kagumo, Karatina, Sagana, Kerugoya and Kutus on the existing feeder without voltage issues. The transferred
load at Kagumo should be approximately 50% of the 11 kV ‘Town’ feeders from Karatina and Kerugoya.
Kahurura primary is proposed close to Nanyuki BSP and supplied by a single 7 km 75mm 2 ACSR OHL. 50% of
the 11 kV ‘Safari’ and ‘Town’ feeders is proposed to be transferred to Kahurura from Nanyuki (primary).
To increase security of supply, the remaining 23 MVA transformer Kiganjo 132/33 kV BSP is proposed for
replacement by a 45 MVA unit, upgrading Kiganjo to 2x45 MVA. As mentioned above, an alternative solution to
replacing the transformers at Kiganjo BSP would be to build a new BSP at Othayo.
To meet increasing demand, additional power transformers are proposed at 33/11 kV primary substations: Isiolo
(1x2.5 MVA), Naro Moru (1x2.5 MVA), Kanyakine (1x7.5 MVA to replace 1x2.5 MVA unit), Sagana (1x7.5 MVA),
Kutus (1x7.5 MVA) Embori (1x7.5 MVA), and Meru (1 x 15 MVA to replace 1x7.5 MVA unit). A second 66/33 kV,
23 MVA transformer is also proposed for installation at Thika.
A least cost solution would be to use 2.5 MVA transformers available in stores or those which are due to be
replaced and refurbished such as the transformer at Meru in 2015 or at Kanyakine in 2016.
To complete the work proposed in 2013, the Ndula via Makuyu side of the 33 kV ring from Thika in Muranga
County should be replaced with 150mm2 ACSR, replacing the 25mm2 and 50mm2 line sections on this feeder.
An 8 km 66 kV line is proposed from JKUAT to Ruiru to improve flexibility on the 66 kV network between Mt
Kenya and Nairobi regions.
Other Analysis
No voltage or thermal capacity issues on feeders or HV substation transformers.
2017
Committed Reinforcements
There are no committed reinforcements for the Mount Kenya region in the year 2017.
Muirungi will be supplied by a new 14 km 33 kV 75mm2 ACSR OHL feeder from Githambo 132/33 kV BSP.
Gatakaine will also be fed from Githambo via a 12 km extension of the existing line Ngethu – Githambo line.
Approximately 50% of the load at the existing Ngethu primary substation should be transferred and supplied from
Gatakaine and approximately 35% of the load at the existing Othaya primary substation should be transferred
and supplied from Muirungi, where it is practical to do so.
The proposed Kiamtugu substation shall be supplied by a new 16 km 33 kV 75mm2 ACSR OHL feeder from
Kutus 132/33 kV BSP. The 11 kV ‘Gigichu’ feeder from Embu and 50% of the ‘Anti-Ndhoma’ feeder from Kutus
shall be transferred to the new Kiamtugu substation upon commissioning.
To improve security of supply, additional 7.5 MVA, 33/11 kV transformers are proposed at Kerugoya, Embu East,
Kagumo, Ngethu, Nkuene, Nanyuki, Mweiga, Muka Mukuu and Makuyu. 7.5 MVA transformers are also
recommended to replace the remaining 2.5 MVA units at Kanyakine, Sagana and Embori substations. A second
66/11 kV 23 MVA transformer at Thika North is also proposed.
Additional 2.5 MVA transformers are proposed at Isiolo (3 in parallel), Kianjai, Kitui, and Matuu. An additional 2.5
MVA transformer is proposed at Naro Moru substation, replacing the remaining 1.5 MVA unit. This transformer
should be refurbished and installed at Marania to introduce redundancy.
Kenya Power counterpart engineers have objected to installation of additional 33/11 kV 2.5 MVA transformers,
due to issues with voltage regulation and lack of capacity for future developments. A least cost solution would be
to use 2.5 MVA transformers available in stores or those which are due to be replaced and refurbished.
A new 132/33 kV BSP is proposed at Mitunguu to support the 33 kV system in this area towards Marimanti.
9.3.3 Losses
The Coast region is the host of several ‘Vision 2030’ flagship projects. Juba – Lamu (2014) and Mombasa-
Nairobi-Malaba-Kisumu (2017) railways pass through the region, Mombasa and Lamu are designated as special
economic zones and Kilifi and Ukunda (Kwale County) are designated as resort cities (completion in 2017).
In addition, the Mombasa Free Port and Lamu port are forecast for completion in 2014; however their expected
demand would need to be met by the transmission system.
For primary substations with only a 1x2.5MVA or 1x7.5 MVA transformer, a new 1x7.5 MVA substation
within the 11 kV planning vicinity is proposed where load at the existing substation is close to 100 % of
transformer rating. Where load is increasing rapidly, 15 MVA transformers are proposed.
A proportion of the load from the existing substation(s) is proposed to be transferred to the new
substation via switching on 11 kV.
Where load at the existing substation is greater than 8 MVA or for remote substations, N-1 compliance
is achieved by the proposition of a second transformer of the same or higher rating.
Where load at the existing substation less than 8 MVA, N-1 compliance is achieved on a sub-region
level. New transformers will not be proposed where there is sufficient spare capacity from nearby
primary substations.
Committed Projects
A number of projects are due to be commissioned over years 2013-2015 in the Coast region. Projects have
generally been considered committed where land has been obtained for commencement of civil works and
funding allocated. Projects expected to be completed within the 2013-2015 timeframe have been identified and
presented to KPLC in the interim report. All committed projects are included in the models.
The committed projects consisted of four new 220/33 kV substations at Garissa, Malindi, Garsen, Lamu which
are due to be commissioned between the years 2012-13 and two additional 132/33 kV BSPs at Taveta and
Jomvu are expected in years 2014 and 2015 respectively. A single new 33/11 kV 7.5 MVA primary substation at
Mishomoroni is committed and due to be commissioned by the end of 2014.
Geographic locations for all substations and feeder connections were assumed for all projects. Locations were
determined by knowledge of KPLC counterpart engineers and with reference to names of local
towns/settlements.
The location of Jomvu substation was not able to be determined; and the topology and details of the 33 kV off-
grid networks at Garissa and Lamu were not present in KPLC’s FDB during the data collection, and so are not
present in the NEPLAN model. For these reasons, the aforementioned BSPs have not been modelled.
Proposed Projects
Proposed projects will require a detailed assessment into the local area to locate a suitable plot of land for
acquisition. Wayleave agreements for new feeders should be investigated and an environmental impact
assessment should be conducted.
The approximate position of new substations and the route of new feeders have determined using GIS software,
following roads and public rights of way where possible. Lengths of new feeders have been calculated on this
basis for use in the models and for cost analysis.
Schematics showing the connectivity of the new projects on a year by year basis and tables identifying the
developments/reinforcements for each year, with committed projects from KPLC and KETRACO; and proposed
projects by PB are included in Appendix D.
9.4.2 Assessment
Without reinforcement, transformer and line thermal capacity violations will occur and low voltages will affect
many of the feeders in the Coast region even in normal operation; and will be more evident in the event of losing
the main supply from a BSP, leading to severe load shedding.
Reinforcements have been proposed to maintain the voltages at substations and on feeders to within ±10 percent
of the nominal value, in accordance with proposed planning criteria. In addition to the commissioning of
committed BSPs in the years 2013-2015, this has been achieved through additional reactive compensation and
reconfiguration of feeder normally open points.
To reduce losses; to meet the increasing demand and ensure security of supply, additional primary substations,
power transformers and new/upgraded lines have been proposed. New substations or transformers have been
included from the year 2015 onward, due to the lead time in procurement of equipment and land.
The findings of the network assessment are detailed in the sub sections below.
2013
Committed Reinforcements
There are three 220/33 kV, 1x23 MVA bulk supply point substations which are expected to be commissioned
before the end of 2013. The substations Malindi, Garsen and Lamu will be supplied by a single 220 kV line from
Rabai, which collectively constitute the ‘RMGL’ project.
Malindi 220/33 kV 1x23 MVA will be established near Kakuyuni village, which is approximately 16 kilometres from
Malindi town. Malindi BSP will have four outgoing feeders which Kakoeni (0.7 km extension), Mambrui, Malindi 1
and 2 (all 19 km) which will be created from the existing 33 kV network and developed under the RMGL project.
Garsen 220/33 kV 1x23 MVA will be constructed approximately 2 kilometres west of Minijila village. Garsen will
initially accommodate three feeders; HQ, Itsowe and Malindi, through small extensions of the existing 33 kV OHL
system.
It is assumed that the OHL extensions and new feeders from Malindi and Garsen will be constructed with
150mm2 ACSR OHL.
As mentioned in Section 8 Lamu substation has not been modelled but it is expected to supply Lamu Island,
which is currently off-grid, and the ‘Vision 2030’ Lamu Port project.
It is suggest that the two existing direct lines to Makande from Kipevu station are replaced with two 1.4 km
sections of 300mm2 AAAC OHL, which would increase their rating to approximately 740 Amps (42 MVA) each.
The same is suggested for the two line sections which supplies Tononoka on ‘Bamburi 3’ (5.78 km section)
feeder and Nyali on ‘Bamburi 1’ (7.7 km section).
This will require replacement of some small (~20 metre) sections of cable within Kipevu station to facilitate this
export.
Due to the distance from Kipevu and New Bamburi 132/33 kV substation, a 33 kV Capacitor is proposed at Nyali
primary substation. Combined with the previously mentioned conductor replacement, the losses on the ‘Bamburi
1’ feeder from Kipevu will fall by 50 percent from an expected 1.276 MW to 0.627 MW. As load increases, this
capacitor will also support the voltage at Nyali, preventing potential load shedding at peak times.
A second 7.69 km OHL from Galu to Diani is proposed to increase security of supply at the primary substation.
185mm2 AAAC conductor is recommended.
With the Garsen and Malindi BSPs coming online in year 2013, a normally open point upon the Mambrui feeder
is proposed to optimise the voltage profile and reduce losses.
Other Analysis
The Malindi and Garsen BSPs resolve the voltage issues in the Malindi area and on the Mambrui feeder in
particular. These issues were highlighted in the analysis of the existing system in Section 8.
The overload on the 33/11 kV transformer at Voi, indicated from year 2012 has increased to nearly 20% over the
rated capacity. Additionally, both 33/11 kV transformers at KPR primary substation are slightly overloaded; with
both expected to operate at 102% of their rated capacity.

Committed Reinforcements
Taveta 132/33 kV BSP is committed for completion in 2014, constructed with 1x23 MVA transformer. Taveta will
be supplied by a 100 km tee from the existing Rabai – Juja Road 132 kV line and situated half way along the
33 kV line from Voi to Loitoiktok, therefore it is assumed that two feeders will be established, one towards each
substation, via looping in and out at Taveta.
A single 33/11 kV, 1x7.5 MVA primary substation will be established in 2014, at Mishomoroni. It is assumed to be
supplied by 5.3km 75mm2 ACSR from New Bamburi. It is anticipated that load will be transferred from the
existing Utange and Nyali substations in the Kisauni area, consisting of approximately 30% of the load on the
‘Kiambene’ feeder from Utange and 50% of the load on the ‘Kisauni’ feeder from Nyali.
Due to the installation of Taveta BSP in 2014, a NOP is recommended on the existing 33 kV feeder between Voi
and Taveta.
Other Analysis
The overload upon the 33/11 kV transformer at Voi, indicated from year 2012 has increased to nearly 40% over
the rated capacity. The overload upon both 33/11 kV transformers at KPR extends to over 18% above their rated
capacity. An additional overload appears at Galu 132/33 kV substation; however diversity of load on this
transformer is not taken into account within the distribution system model, meaning the actual (coincident) peak
load seen from the transmission system side will be less.

A new Jomvu 132/33 kV 1x23 MVA BSP will connect to the 33 kV Miritini-KPR feeder. The BSP will be located
approximately 6km from this feeder and the T-junction will be 2 km from Miritini and 4 km from KPR.-
To address the highlighted transformer overloads highlighted in the analysis for years 2012-2014, it is suggested
to replace one of the existing 7.5 MVA transformers at KPR with 1x23 MVA and replace the 2.5 MVA transformer
at Voi with 1x7.5 MVA. An additional 132/33 kV 45 MVA transformer is proposed at Galu 132/33 kV, uprating to
1x23+1x45 MVA, for increased capacity and security of supply to primary substations in Kwale County.
An additional 220/33 kV 23 MVA transformer is recommended at Malindi BSP. In the event of losing the first unit
at Malindi, neither Kilifi or Garsen would be able to supply the estimated 13 MVA load at Malindi due to the
distance from both BSPs (Kilifi is approximately 55 km and Garsen 100 km) leading to necessary load shedding
during peak times.
To increase the firm capacity and meet the future demand at Kipevu, the remaining 45 MVA unit (TX #2) at
Kipevu 132/33 kV should be replaced with a 60 MVA unit to match the other two.
2015 provides the first opportunity to propose a new bulk supply point. The proposed location is on the Likoni –
Ukunda road, installed with 2x132/33 kV, 60 MVA transformers. Although the rating of these transformers seems
considerably high, the recommendation is made to provide an alternative supply to all substations on Mombasa
Island, Diani, and Nyali and be the primary supply for Likoni substation. If space could be found then it may be
preferable to locate this BSP closer to the main load centres, either on Mombasa island or Nyali. A GIS solution
may be required in this case.
Two feeders to a new 33/11 kV substation, Kizingo, on Mombasa Island should be established, crossing the sea
near the current ferry crossing with 0.5 km of cable. Overhead sections will be approximately 4 km on the Likoni
side and 2 km on the Mombasa side, and should be constructed with 300mm2 AAAC conductors. Utilising the
existing undersea cables,
Likoni should become the sole supplier of Mbaraki primary substation, by creating a NOP on the ‘Mbaraki 1 and
2’ 33 kV feeders which will slightly relieve Kipevu. Kipevu should continue to supply Makande using these
feeders. An additional 1.3 km 300mm 2 AAAC line between the proposed Kizingo and existing Tononoka
substation will complete a ring around Mombasa Island.
The establishment of Likoni BSP in addition to the existing BSPs at Kipevu and New Bamburi will result in a
reliable and flexible supply to Mombasa and Kwale Counties.
The aforementioned 33/11 kV Kizingo substation should be constructed with 2x23 MVA transformers, with
around one third of the load from Mbaraki being transferred to Kizingo.
To relieve Nyali, a new 33/11 kV, 1x23 MVA primary substation is recommended in the Bamburi area, ideally
supplied by the two existing lines from New Bamburi towards BPCC (Bamburi 2 and 3 feeders). A normally open
point should be maintained at the proposed Bamburi so that it and BPCC are each normally supplied from a
single line, but still retain the flexibility to be supplied by the other line in case of an outage. Load transfers to the
proposed Bamburi should consist of approximately 80% of the 11 kV ‘Bamburi’ and 35% of the ‘Kiembene’
feeders which are currently supplied from Nyali.
Port Reitz 33/11 kV substation is proposed in the Changamwe area to relieve KPR substation. It is recommended
that Port Reitz should be initially installed with a single transformer no less than 15 MVA. A load transfer of
approximately 70% of the 11 kV ‘Port Reitz’ feeder currently supplied from KPR should be economic.
To reduce the losses on the 11 kV system and improve reliability to customers, new 33/11 kV primary substations
are recommended at Mtongwe, Kwale and Wundanyi.
Mtwongwe should be constructed with 1x7.5 MVA transformer, supplied by a 5 km 95mm2 AAAC OHL from the
proposed Likoni BSP.
Due to lower estimates of load, Kwale should be constructed with 1x2.5 MVA transformer, supplied by a 26 km
95mm2 AAAC OHL from Galu. The full load on the 11 kV ‘Kwale’ feeder from Diani should be transferred to the
proposed substation.
Wundanyi should also be constructed with 1x2.5 MVA transformer, supplied by a 27 km 75mm2 ACSR OHL from
Voi. Wundanyi will ideally supply 20% of the 11 kV ‘Town’ feeder from Voi BSP and 100% of the Wundanyi
feeder load which is currently supplied by Mwatate substation.
To improve security of supply, additional 33/11 kV transformers are proposed at several existing substation.
1x23 MVA units are recommended at Tononoka, Makande, KPR (mentioned above) and Malindi (replacing 1x7.5
MVA unit, increasing capacity).
To increase capacity, the 2.5 MVA transformers at Voi (mentioned above), Ribe, Loitoktok and Mwatate should
be replaced with 1x7.5 MVA units.
A dedicated 14 km 33 kV circuit is proposed from Rabai to Athi River Mining Company. The mining company has
a peak demand of 12 MVA and has complained of frequent interruptions to supply.
Finally, an 11 kV Capacitor at Diani may be considered for power factor correction and improvements to the
voltage when being supplied from Galu, Rabai or the proposed Likoni BSP.
Other Analysis
No voltage or thermal capacity issues on feeders or HV substation transformers.
2016
Committed Reinforcements
There are no committed reinforcements for the Coast region in the year 2016.
Galu 33/11 1x23 MVA shall be constructed at and fed from its namesake bulk supply point. Without a load
transfer to the new Galu 33/11, the transformers at Diani and Mwabungo will exceed their respective capacities
due to the load in the Diani beach region. As Galu is located at the centre of load for both Diani and Mwabungo
substations, it is an ideal location for a new primary. It is expected that Galu will take 50% of the load on the
11 kV ‘Diani-1’ feeder from Diani and 50% of the load on the ‘Galu’ feeder from Mwabungo. Additional
transformers are also proposed at both Diani and Mwabungo (see below).
Kaloleni 1x7.5 MVA substation has been proposed to minimise losses on the existing 11 kV feeder from Ribe
which currently extends to over 14 km. Kaloleni should be supplied by a 3 km extension to the existing 75mm2
OHL from Rabai towards Ribe.
Sabaki 1x7.5 MVA substation has been proposed to minimise the losses on the existing ‘Sabaki’ 11 kV feeder
and relieve the 33/11 kV transformers at Malindi. Sabaki should be teed from the 33 kV Mambrui feeder towards
Garsen around 7 km north of Malindi town. Approximately 60% of the ‘Sabaki’ feeder load should be transferred
to the new primary substation.
To increase the firm capacity at New Bamburi BSP, the remaining 132/33 kV 23 MVA transformer is
recommended for replacement with 1x45 MVA transformer, to uprate to 2x45 MVA.
To improve security of supply, additional 23 MVA 33/11 kV transformers are proposed at Makande (third unit),
KPR 1x23 MVA (replacing the remaining 7.5 MVA unit), Miritini and Diani. It is suggested that one of the 7.5 MVA
units at Likoni primary substation be replaced by a 15 MVA unit to increase capacity at Likoni. Additional 7.5 MVA
transformers are suggested at Kilifi, Mwabungo, (Proposed) Mishomoroni, and a second 2.5 MVA transformer is
installed at (Proposed) Wundanyi substation.
Other Analysis
No voltage or thermal capacity issues on feeders or HV substation transformers.
2017
Committed Reinforcements
There are no committed reinforcements for the Coast region in the year 2017.
A final 132/33 kV BSP is recommended at Lunga-Lungu, this will supply Lunga-Lunga town and provide a route
for power interchange with Tanzania on 132 kV voltage level. Lunga Lunga should be constructed with a single
transformer, with no more than 23 MVA in rating.
Three additional 33/11 kV primary substations are proposed for the year 2017, at Kidimu, Mtondia, and Kokotoni.
Kidimu 1x7.5 MVA substation has been proposed to minimise losses on the existing 11 kV ‘Shimoni’ feeder from
Msambweni which currently extends to over 33 km The feeder splits in two with one branch towards Shimoni
town and one towards Mrima town, Kaloleni is the location of the split and the site of the proposed substation.
Kaloleni should be supplied by a 17 km extension to the existing line from Galu to Msambweni and by a new
25 km feeder from Lunga Lunga using 185mm2 AAAC OHL. This will allow Lunga Lunga to feed as far as
Mwabungo in the event of losing supply from Galu.
Mtondia 1x7.5 MVA substation is proposed for completion by the end of 2017. It will be supplied through a 1.3 km
95mm2 AAAC OHL from the 33 kV feeder from Kilifi to Malindi. This location has been proposed to minimise the
losses on the 11 kV ‘Kilifi Town’ feeder currently supplied by Kilifi BSP. It is anticipated that Mtondia will take
around 25% of the connected 11 kV load from Kilifi.
Kokotoni 1x2.5 MVA substation is also proposed for completion by the end of 2017. It will be supplied through a
short tee from the 33 kV line from Rabai to Mariakani. This location has been proposed to minimise the losses on
the 11 kV ‘Rabai feeder currently supplied by Mariakani. Kokotoni should be around 50% of the 11 kV load from
the ‘Rabai’ feeder. Alternatively a higher capacity transformer could be used, and part of the 11 kV ‘Mazeras’
feeder from Miritini could also be transferred to the new substation.
A second 132/33 kV, 45 MVA transformer at Galu is recommended, replacing the remaining 23 MVA unit and
increasing the firm capacity of Galu. A second 132/33 kV, 23 MVA transformer is proposed at Voi BSP for the
same reason.
Supplementary 33/11 kV transformers are proposed at several substations to increase security of supply. 1x23
MVA units are suggested at (Proposed) Bamburi, Malindi (replacing the remaining 7.5 MVA transformer) and
Mbaraki (uprating to 3x23 MVA).
Additional 15 MVA transformers are proposed at Likoni 1x15 (replacing the remaining 7.5 MVA transformer), and
at (Proposed) Port Reitz. Second 33/11 kV, 7.5 MVA transformers are proposed at Kanamai, Utange, Loitoktok,
Watamu Mariakani, Voi; and second 630 kVA transformers at Kilifi Plantation and Mtwapa.
Other Analysis
No voltage or thermal capacity issues on feeders or HV substation transformers.

The Mombasa – Kisumu railway is forecast to be re-constructed and modernised over the next five years and is
likely to require electrical power. This railway will pass through the Counties of Busia, Kericho, Kisumu, Nakuru
and Nyandarua in the West region. The Juba – Lamu railway will pass through the county of Samburu. The
designated status of Kisumu is as a special economic zone, and is therefore expected to grow at a higher rate
than other counties in the West region. Load growth for these projects has been reflected in the annual county
growth rate developed from the load forecast.
For primary substations with only 1x2.5MVA or 1x7.5MVA transformer, a new 1x7.5MVA substation
within the 11 kV planning vicinity will be proposed when load is close to 100% of transformer rating. In
subsequent years additional transformers should be added to both the existing and new primary
substation.
For substations with 1x23MVA transformer, an additional transformer will be added when the load
exceeds 50% of transformer rating.
Committed Projects
A number of projects are due to be commissioned over the period 2013-2015 in the Western region. Projects
have generally been considered committed where land has been obtained for commencement of civil works and
funding allocated. Projects expected to be completed within the 2013-2015 timeframe have been identified and
presented to KPLC in the interim report. All committed projects are included in the models.
Geographic locations were obtained for new 132/33 kV BSPs at Awendo, Makutano, Ortum, Kitale, Sondu,
Bomet, Webuye and Kabarnet. Feeder layout and substation diagrams were obtained for Awendo, Sondu and
Webuye BSPs.
Nine new 33/11 kV primary substations are due to be commissioned in 2013/14. These include; Elgon View,
Kabarak, Kipsarman, Ahero, Kibos, Maseno, Majengo, Chapseon and Magumu. Geographic locations and feeder
connections were obtained for projects at Ahero, Majengo and Maseno. Locations were determined by reference
to names of local towns/settlements where geographic information was unavailable.
Proposed Projects
Proposed projects will require a detailed assessment into the local area to locate a suitable plot of land for
acquisition which is outside of the scope of the Master Plan. Wayleaves for new feeders should be investigated
and a detailed environmental impact assessment should be conducted. For the purposes of the studies new
132/33 kV substations proposed in the expansion plans for the West region are represented as a new infeed into
the system. Open points are adjusted in each case to allow for feeders to be reassigned to the new BSPs.
A number of switches have been included in the model in order to represent the necessary additional normally
open points.
The routes of new feeders and additional primary substation connections are approximated in the GIS software to
follow roads and public rights of way where appropriate. Lengths of new feeders are calculated on this basis for
use in the models and the cost analysis.
Schematics representing the connectivity of the new projects on a year by year basis and tables identifying the
developments/reinforcements for each year, with committed projects from KPLC and KETRACO, and proposed
projects by PB are presented in Appendix E.
Reactive power compensation has been used extensively in the initial years of the study to support voltages
along feeders and reduce system losses. Capacitor banks have been introduced at primary substations, where
possible, to allow for ease of installation and maintenance. It is recommended that capacitor banks are installed
in fixed blocks with a controller to provide response to the requirements of the system. Some capacitor banks
may become redundant as new bulk supply points are commissioned. It is recommended that redundant
equipment is made available for relocation to problematic feeders across the network where necessary.
Details of all upgrades and additional equipment are included in the list of committed and proposed projects
presented in Appendix F.
2013
Committed Reinforcements
Makutano 132/33 kV substation was commissioned in December 2012. It was assumed from discussions during
the data collection period that commissioning would take place early 2013. The substation will remain in the 2013
models onwards as data for the feeder loading is yet to be obtained. New feeders intersect the existing 33 kV
feeders between Lessos and Lanet BSPs and provide additional voltage support. An additional 33 kV feeder
extending to the town of Molo is expected to be commissioned in 2013, and will tee into the existing Elburgon
feeder from Lanet. The new locations of normally open points are determined in the model, and should be used
by KPLC to optimise the network configuration during normal operating conditions.
Webuye 132 kV substation will undergo expansion in 2013. This substation currently feeds Pan Paper (large
consumer) and will be upgraded with installation of one 132/33 kV, 23 MVA transformer, for connection to the 33
kV distribution network. Six new 33 kV feeders are planned and are represented in the system diagrams in
Appendix E.
Elgon View primary substation is to be commissioned early 2013. This substation provides additional resource for
the expansion of the 11 kV network around Eldoret town. A proportion of the load has been transferred from
Eldoret Town primary substation to Elgon View to represent an adjustment to the 11 kV normally open points.
Discussions with KPLC counterpart staff concluded that Elgon View substation will tee into the existing feeder
(Lessos interconnector) from Rivertex 132/33 kV substation initially, and will be fed directly from Rivertex 132/33
kV substation via a new feeder late 2013.
There will be further expansion at Rivertex substation in 2013 to incorporate two new 33 kV feeder bays in
addition to the Elgon View feeder bay. One of the bays will provide capacity for a new feeder to loop into Iten
primary substation, with the purpose of feeding a new primary substation near to the town of Moiben in future.
Reactive power compensation is recommended for installation at eleven 33/11 kV primary substations for voltage
support. A lead time of one year has been assumed for procurement/installation of capacitor banks.
The 33 kV bus at Kisumu BSP will be operated closed to share the loading across the two 132/33 kV
transformers proportionally with respect to rating.
2014
Committed Reinforcements
Several new BSPs are to be commissioned in 2014. These include committed 132/33 kV projects at Awendo and
Kitale. Awendo BSP is to be situated in an adjacent plot of land to the existing primary substation. Kitale BSP is
to be located several km from the existing primary substation. In addition to these projects there will be upgrades
to existing private sites at Nakuru West (originally feeding Kenya Pipeline Co.) and Sondu Miriu (hydro plant)
132kV substations. These will include the expansion of the existing site to incorporate additional 132/33 kV
transformers and 33 kV switchgear. Several new feeders are to be tee’d into the existing 33 kV network at each
BSP. Commissioning of the new bulk supply points will improve the terminal voltage along newly assigned
feeders.
Eight primary substations proposed by KPLC are to be commissioned in the West region by the end of 2014.
These include substations with 1x7.5MVA 33/11 kV transformer at the following sites; Kabarak, Kipsarman,
Ahero, Kibos, Maseno, Majengo, Chapseon and Magumu.
Transformer reinforcements at the following BSPs are necessary to mitigate thermal loading issues and improve
security of supply; Rivertex, Muhoroni, Kegati, Musaga and Kisumu.
A new 33 kV line is proposed allow for load reduction on the existing Kakamega feeder from Musaga BSP. A new
feeder bay is required at Musaga BSP to connect a new line to an existing line section branching from the
Kakamega feeder. The NOPs are reconfigured to assign a new feeder from Musaga towards Malava town where
it will connect to the existing network.
It is recommended that the existing 33 kV OHL linking Chavakali and Cheptulu primary substations is upgraded
from 25mm2 ACSR to 75mm2 ACSR. The upgrade will reduce the losses along the line and increase the current
carrying capacity for the forecast demand growth in future years. Similarly it is recommended that the existing 33
kV OHL which exits Kegati substation to feed Kisii primary substation is upgraded from 50mm2 ACSR to 150mm2
ACSR.
Transformer replacements at several existing primary substations are necessary to improve security of supply
and relieve high loading. These 33/11 kV substations include; Lanet Town, Eldoret Town, Eldoret Industrial, Kisii,
Mwariki and Kisumu East.
2015
Committed Reinforcements
Information obtained from the KETRACO website indicated that 132/33 kV BSPs at Kabarnet, Bomet, Narok and
Nyahururu are due to be commissioned in 2015. The addition of these substations will reduce loading and
improve terminal voltages on existing feeders.
Several 33/11 kV primary substations are proposed to relieve loading on existing substations, increase security of
supply and improve 11 kV voltages. These include proposed sites near to, Sosiat, Sirisia Bahati, Endebess and
Moiben towns. Each substation is to have 1x7.5MVA transformer configuration.
Sosiat 33/11 kV primary substation is to be situated in the tea regions of Kericho county. The substation will be
located such that it will relieve some of the high loading on 11 kV feeders from Kericho primary substation. The
substation will feed sections of the 11 kV network towards Kitco and Sondu primary substations, splitting the
existing feeders to reduce loading and improve 11 kV voltages. The new substation is to be fed from Muhoroni
132/33 kV substation via a short spur from the existing Kericho feeder.
Sirisia 33/11 kV primary substation is to be situated in the vicinity of a cluster of small towns currently fed via an
11 kV network between Webuye and Sibembe primary substations. The commissioning of Sirisia primary
substation will reduce loading on the existing 2x2.5MVA transformers at Sibembe primary substation, allowing
necessary reinforcements to be offset by several years. Sirisia primary substation will be looped into the
Bungoma feeder from Webuye BSP (civil works ongoing), allowing an alternative source of supply from Musaga
BSP when necessary. It is anticipated that in 2018 a new BSP shall need to be considered for installation
between the Malakisi and Sirisia sites.
Bahati 33/11 kV primary substation is proposed in the county of Nakuru. The substation will split the 11 kV
network between Lanet town and Subukia primary substations improving voltage and relieving load on the
existing primary substations. The primary purpose of this project is to expand the 11 kV distribution network
towards the outskirts of Nakuru, increasing access to electricity in the Bahati settlement. The substation is to be
supplied from Lanet 132/33 kV substation via a tee in the existing feeder (Nyahururu interconnector 1) which
supplies Subukia primary substation.
Endebess 33/11 kV primary substation is proposed in the county of Trans Nzoia. This is to be supplied via a new
feeder from the planned Kitale 132/33 kV substation. Capacity has typically been restricted in his region due to
the voltage issues on the lengthy feeders from neighbouring counties. This issue will be addressed with the
commissioning of Kitale BSP, allowing for expansion of the 33 kV network in the surrounding area. Endebess will
provide improved security of supply to consumers in Kitale.
Moiben 33/11 kV primary substation is proposed in the county of Uasin Gishu. This is to be supplied via a tee into
the feeder from Rivertex to Iten (civil works ongoing). This substation will increase access to electricity by
bringing additional transformer capacity to the area, allowing the development of the 11 kV network. This region
is currently supplied by lengthy 11 kV feeders between Eldoret and Iten.
It is proposed that Nakuru West 132/33 kV substation will be upgraded in 2015, with replacement of the existing
1x23MVA 132/33 kV transformer with 2x45MVA 132/33 kV transformers.
Reinforcements are proposed at Nakuru, Kiamokama, Changoi and Mogogosiek 33/11 kV primary substations.
2016
Committed Reinforcements
Several projects proposed by KETRACO are expected to be commissioned in 2016. These include additional
132/33 kV BSPs which will be located within the vicinity of the existing Kapsabet, Maralal and Homa Bay 33/11
kV primary substations.
In addition to the committed projects, bulk supply points are proposed at the following locations in 2016: Bondo;
Chavakali; Eldoret North; Gilgil; Kapsowar; Keringet; Kisumu East; and Malaba. It is anticipated that years 2013-
2016 will provide a sufficient timeframe in which the proposed substations are able to progress through the
planning, construction and commissioning phases, and be operational by late 2016.
Information obtained from the regional visits suggested that the upper Gilgil area (Nakuru county) is experiencing
rapid growth. A 132/33 kV bulk supply point has been proposed on the basis of this expansion. Results of the
studies suggest that a bulk supply point would be required in 2018/19, however it is worth noting that the 11 kV
load forecast to be supplied from Gilgil primary substation in 2017 is approx. 3MVA. Voltages on the existing
70km 33 kV feeder between Lanet and Suswa BSPs will exceed limits if load on the 11 kV feeders from Giligl
substation exceeds 6MVA by 2017. It is recommended that the loading on the substation (and the adjacent 33 kV
feeders) is monitored over the next few years, and studies are performed with respect to growth in the region to
determine the feasibility of a new BSP at the Gilgil site.
KPLC provided a brief description of the plans which consider the feasibility of a new 33/11 kV primary substation
at Kapsowar. The recent OHL extension from Iten primary substation towards Kapsowar town (in the county of
Elgeyo Marakwet) is rated for 33 kV operation but currently operates at 11 kV. Iten primary substation is currently
supplied from Lessos BSP via the Fluorspar feeder. The proposed feeder distance from Lessos, including the
existing 33 kV network to Iten primary substation, is approx. 120km. A 33 kV feeder of this length is both
impractical due to voltage constraints and is economically unjustifiable due to extremely high operational losses.
Kabarnet BSP is an unviable source of supply due to the length of the proposed feeder. As a result of the studies,
a 132/33/11 kV substation is proposed at Kapsowar. The substation will comprise of 1x15MVA 132/33 kV
transformer and 1x7.5MVA 33/11 kV transformer. Additional 33 kV feeder bays will be included for future 33 kV
expansion towards the towns further to the north of Kapsowar.
A new 132/33 kV substation is proposed near to Bondo town in the county of Siaya. This region is expected to
experience high growth rate due to the rural electrification along the shores of Lake Victoria to expand the
tourism industry and allow access to supply for fishing industries. It is proposed that the new substation
comprises of 2x23 MVA 132/33 kV transformers.
Expansion of the existing Chavakali 33/11 kV primary substation is proposed. This will comprise of a new BSP
with 2x45MVA 132/33 transformers. The expansion of the existing substation will reduce high loading on the
feeders from Kisumu and Musaga BSPs. The reconfiguration of the existing feeders from the aforementioned
BSPs will improve terminal voltages and lower reactive compensation required at the primary substations.
Rivertex 132/33 kV BSP supplies the town of Eldoret, located in the county of Uasin Gishu. A new BSP is
proposed to the North of Eldoret to supply existing load and introduce an alternative source to meet the criteria
for N-1 outage conditions. New feeders will supply Eldoret Town and Eldoret Industrial 33/11 kV primary
substations. A third feeder will provide security of supply to the HV connected load at Rivertex. A fourth feeder
will tee into the existing network near to the intersection of the Ngano feeder with the Moi Barracks feeder. It is
recommended that the construction of the OHL works progress in parallel with the BSP works, such that the OHL
can be commissioned in a temporary configuration at the proposed BSP site to create a ‘ring’ system around
Eldoret. KPLC staff confirmed that the improved flexibility provided by the ‘ring’ would be of great value to general
operations. The commissioning of the BSP will improve security of supply to the distributed load further north of
Eldoret town towards Kitale.
The Njoro/Elburgon feeder extends 100km from the Nakuru West BSP. This feeds the respective 33/11 kV
primary substations and a number of additional 33/0.433 kV secondary distribution transformers. The feeder
terminates at a tea factory supplying 1x630kVA 33/0.433 transformer. The loading on the transformer is such that
a significant voltage gradient is formed along the feeder resulting in terminal voltage violations. An additional bulk
supply point is proposed in 2016 to improve the voltage. The proposed 132/33 kV BSP is to be located at
Keringet town and will loop into the existing feeder. The proposed Keringet BSP will feed a new 33/11 kV primary
substation to be located within the vicinity of Molo town. This substation will relieve a proportion of the 11 kV
loading on the existing Elburgon primary substation.
The proposed expansion of Kisumu East will provide the necessary support to the network in Kisumu. At present
each of the primary substations in the district are supplied from Kisumu BSP. Any unplanned outage resulting in
loss of supply from the substation would affect the entire city. The proposed 132/33 kV BSP will provide an
alternative source of supply to each of the primary substations close to the city: Kisumu East; Kibos; Ahero;
Obote Road and Kisumu South (proposed 2017). The substation will have 2x45MVA transformers to ensure
redundancy is available to supply the city in the event of a loss of supply at Kisumu BSP.
A new bulk supply point is proposed within the vicinity of Malaba town. This 132/33 kV substation will supply
Malakisi and Busia primary substations via two new feeders. There is currently an 11 kV network which extends
between Malakisi and Busia substations. The proposed line route for the new 33 kV feeders follows the existing
11 kV wayleave. The feeders will provide increased capacity for connecting customers along the line route with
new 33/0.4 kV distribution transformers.
A new 33/11 kV primary substation is proposed at Mosocho town. This substation will split the 11 kV feeds from
Kisii primary substation to improve voltage conditions and increase security of supply to the local area. The
proposed substation is to be tee’d into the existing Homa Bay 33 kV feeder from Kegati 132/33 kV BSP.
Primary substations are proposed in the vicinity of the towns of Kitaru and Nyamira. These substations will split
the existing 11 kV network to improve voltage conditions and increase the security of supply to local consumers.
The proposed substations will reduce high loading on Sotik, Ikonge and Litein primary substations, currently
supplying high loss, long 11 kV feeders in the region. The region is an intensive tea harvesting area, and the
proposed substations will supply small industrial loads and neighbouring towns. These new substations will be
supplied from Chemosit and Kegati BSPs.
A new feeder from Nakuru West is proposed to secure supply to Lanet Town under N-1 conditions. This will tee
into the prospective redundant feeder between Njoro primary substation and Lanet BSP. The reinforcement will
require reconductoring of the existing line sections between the sites to benefit from the improved current
carrying capacity of 150mm2 ACSR OHL.
Transformer reinforcements are proposed at Rivertex, Chemosit and Kitale BSPs to improve security of supply.
Transformer reinforcements are proposed at Kisumu East, Moi Barracks and Siaya 33/11 kV primary substations.
Reinforcements will provide additional redundant capacity to improve security of supply.
2017
Committed Reinforcements
Plans for substation upgrades and a new 220kV OHL between the existing sites at Turkwel and Kitale have been
submitted by KETRACO. These plans include a new 220/33 kV substation approx 43km to the North of
Kapenguria, close to the town of Ortum. It is assumed that a 33 kV OHL will link the existing Kapenguria primary
substation with the new site, feeding several towns between the proposed and existing substations. The project is
assumed to be committed due to the recent release of the tender documents for substation equipment. It has
been included in the 2017 model as the expected commissioning date has not yet been determined by
KETRACO.
A new 132/33 kV BSP is proposed near to the existing Moi Barracks primary substation. This will provide voltage
support on the 70km OHL between BSPs at Kitale and Rivertex. A new feeder will also tee into the existing OHL
which extends towards the town of Turbo. This existing feeder to this region distributed 8MVA of load in 2017
prior to suggested reinforcements. The connection of the new feeder at Turbo will improve voltages in the area by
removing a proportion of the load from the existing feeder.
A new 33/11 kV primary substation in the town of Kisumu is proposed to relieve high loading and introduce
contingency capacity to improve security of supply. Prior to 2017, the 11 kV network in Kisumu will be supplied
from existing 33/11 kV primary substations at Kisumu East and Obote Road. These substations are expected to
exceed N-1 capacity in 2018. The new 33/11 kV substation at Kisumu South is to be supplied from Kisumu East
BSP with an alternative feed from Kisumu BSP for security of supply during outage conditions.
New 33/11 kV primary substations are proposed at Kibebetiet and Aldai towns. These will supply 11 kV networks
within two large clusters of towns in the county of Nandi. The substations will be supplied via two new feeders
from Kaspabet BSP. The commissioning of these substations will improve security of supply on the existing 11
kV network and improve the voltages.
Transformer upgrades are proposed at the existing Makutano 132/33 kV and Mwariki 33/11 kV substations to
improve security of supply.
9.5.2 Assessment
Low voltages currently affect many of the feeders in the West region. Nodes have been identified along each
feeder to represent the lowest simulated voltage. The development of the expansion plan aims to mitigate these
violations, however in the short term it is not always practical to improve the performance of the system to
achieve the desired tolerance outlined in the planning criteria. Feeders with simulated voltages of less than 0.9pu
(in accordance with the proposed planning criteria) have been extracted and are presented below. A complete list
of results is presented in Appendix E. Voltages exceeding 1pu exist where reactive compensation has been
added to the system to support the feeder voltages. Results indicate that system voltages do not exceed 1.1pu in
years 2013-2017.
Transformer taps on the primary windings at 33/11 kV substations also help to maintain voltage at 11 kV to within
planning tolerances. Voltage violations are present in years 2013 - 2015. These marginally exceed planning
tolerances (±10%) but are mitigated by the commissioning of new BSPs in 2016.
Voltage violations which exceed planning tolerances are presented in Table 9-5. Proposed projects mitigate all
voltage violations in the models after 2015.

The results of the modelling assume that reactive compensation presented in Table 9-6 and included in the list of
committed and proposed projects (Appendix E) is in operation by the end of 2013. The inclusion of reactive
compensation in the 2013 model mitigates the majority of voltage issues experienced on the 33 kV network in the
Western region.

Loading on feeders and primary substations has been assessed. A summary of the maximum loading on each
feeder is presented in Appendix E. Violations of thermal rating for lines are not expected to occur during the study
years 2013-2017.
Capacity issues are experienced on transformers at the substations listed in Table 9-7. It is recommended that
replacement/additional transformers are considered for installation at these locations in the immediate future. The
lead time for primary transformers is such that asset replacement solutions for high loading issues are not
proposed in the 2013 model. It is recommended that load is transferred to alternative supply to relieve the
transformer loading where possible.
Results of the studies indicate that no voltage or thermal rating issues are expected to occur after 2013 provided
upgrades and additional equipment included in the list of committed and proposed projects (presented in
Appendix F) are in service during the periods specified in the Master Plan.

The 33 kV losses are presented in Table 9-8 for the models 2013-2017. The development of the expansion plans
in the short term show a reduction in relative system losses from 5.7% to 4.5% as a percentage of demand. The
reduction in losses reduces the cost of operation of the system.

Studies suggest that system short circuit levels for years 2013-2017 do not present an issue with respect to the
rating of new and existing circuit breakers. Peak short circuit currents are presented in Appendix E for all primary
substation 33 kV busbars and 33 kV connection points for HV connected load.
Contingency has been included in the master plan for the major towns of Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru. These are
considered as important centres for economic growth. Each of these towns is to be supplied from two bulk supply
points with transformer redundancy should an outage occur at one of the BSPs. Additional feeders are
incorporated into the master plan to ensure that major primary substations (above 8MW demand) in these cities
are supplied from alternative sources. New 33 kV feeders in these areas are proposed with 150mm 2 ASCR
conductors where necessary to mitigate issues with thermal loading under N-1 conditions.
Approximately 40% of the load in the West region is supplied via 33/0.433 kV secondary distribution
transformers. It is expected that the expansion of the 11 kV network in future years will lead to increased security
of supply and a reduced dependence on long 33 kV radial feeders to reduce the dependence on large numbers
of 33/0.433 kV distribution transformers.
10.1 Background
KPLC is preparing a Distribution Master Plan to address the country’s power distribution requirements over the
planning period 2012-2030.
Parsons Brinckerhoff has been commissioned to undertake (i) a detailed assessment of the Kenya Power
System Distribution requirements over the planning period 2012-2030 and develop a Distribution Master Plan;
and (ii) Undertake an Environmental Scoping Report for the investments recommended in the short to medium
term (3 – 5 years). This report has been prepared to satisfy the Environmental Scoping Report requirement.
The proposed projects recommended by the Distribution Master Plan study comprise one or more of the following
five categories of project to be implemented across the 47 counties in the short-medium term:
As this is a master plan study, the proposed projects are in the early stages of development. Given that the
above project categories could be implemented either individually or in combination across any of Kenya’s 47
counties, the scoping report firstly provides generic guidance on the likely impacts for each of the above as well
as initial mitigation and monitoring recommendations.
The scoping report also provides an initial assessment of the potential environmental and social impacts
associated with each of the projects currently proposed. The assessment has been based on desk study data
used to inform the county level baseline summaries as well as on feedback obtained from the in-county
consultation meetings. The impacts (and associated mitigation proposals) are necessarily high level since the
exact project locations and extents are as yet to be determined.
The EIA Scoping Report is intended to provide a basis for project-specific discussions with the relevant
authorities and stakeholders to help determine whether an EIA is required for each of the projects which come
forward as part of the Kenya Distribution Master Plan.
10.2 Purpose of this Scoping Report and Approach to the Scoping Study
The Environmental Management and Coordination Act 1999 (EMCA) requires that an EIA is undertaken for
proposed activities that are likely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
This scoping report identifies the potential significant environmental and social issues and impacts of the
proposed distribution projects such that the Proponent is able to use this information in producing the Project
Report and Terms of Reference (ToR) as required by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
If an EIA is required, then the report identifies how these impacts might be further assessed during the full EIA
study.
• Literature review and preparation of legislative framework and initial baseline environmental and social
summaries for each of the 47 counties;
• Initial consultation with stakeholders (including key environmental consultees) at a local level within
each of the 47 counties;
• Identification of the potential environmental and social-economic impacts of the proposed projects and
mitigation and monitoring proposals for these impacts. These impacts will need to be investigated in more detail
during subsequent EIA study as necessary;
• Identification of potential constraints to the successful implementation of master plan projects; and
• Environmental and social capacity building requirements within KPLC to aid the successful
implementation of the master plan projects.
Development activities associated with the five project categories can be divided into four key stages, namely:
preconstruction project design; construction; operation; and eventual decommissioning of the projects.
The need for EIA will depend upon the sensitivity of the receiving environment, the project extent and the
resultant environmental and social impacts. It is unlikely that either reconductoring of existing overhead
distribution lines or upgrading/refurbishment within an existing substation site would require an EIA since no
significant environmental impacts are envisaged as the projects would be largely undertaken within the existing
development footprint . Impacts, in these cases, are likely to be limited to some localised noise during installation
and waste disposal issues associated with redundant equipment.
At the preconstruction design stage, the projects will be screened by KPLC in accordance with Kenya's
environmental legislation as well as any funding agency requirements and the appropriate level of environmental
and social assessment undertaken.
10.4 Consultation
Stakeholder consultation meetings have been held with NEMA, Ministry of Planning, Kenya Wildlife Service
(KWS), Kenya Forestry Service (KFS), Museums of Kenya (MoK), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as well as the
Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya National Highways
Authority (KeNHA) at their regional office locations.
For those projects taken forward, for which a full EIA study is required, further consultation will be required to be
undertaken at both the institutional and community level. Community consultation should be undertaken at all
locations where proposed projects are likely to cause disruption to local residents.
10.5 Likely Environmental and Social Impacts of Distribution Master Plan Projects
The county consultations have identified a number of likely beneficial effects from the proposed projects
including:
Enhanced information flow and inclusivity via increased access to information technology (IT);
Health benefits (as a result of use of a clean source of energy in the home).
A number of potential adverse impacts were identified during the county consultations including:
Destruction of vegetation,
Based on the consultation feedback and high level assessments conducted to date, the negative impacts of
many of the proposed projects are expected to be minimal and the overall benefits of the projects are expected to
greatly outweigh the adverse impacts.
The most significant adverse impacts are expected to arise as a result of land acquisition (from displacement of
property/loss of vegetation and crops) and during the construction stage (due to the potential for pollution to land,
air and water as well as disruption to local communities from noise and construction traffic).
Adverse impacts can be largely designed out via the choice of line routing / substation siting following
consultation with host communities and project affected persons (PAPs). A fair and equitable compensation
framework for crop damage, tree loss and land acquisition together with the implementation of Environmental and
Social Management Plans (ESMP) and a programme of community sensitisation will assist in mitigating the
majority of adverse impacts in most instances.
The costs of the implementation of proposed mitigation measures have been estimated for each of the proposed
projects (within categories A – C) and are presented in the EIA Scoping Report within the tables in Appendix C
subject to certain caveats. These estimates have been amalgamated to produce an initial cost for mitigation for
each of the counties in which projects are proposed.
On the basis of the discussions and feedback from the consultation meetings to date, we make the following
recommendations regarding environmental and social capacity building within KPLC.
There is felt to be a lack of awareness of the environmental and social impacts of distribution projects
amongst some Branch Business Heads (BBHs) and their staff. In particular, it was identified that there
was a need for greater awareness of environmental assessment and public consultation requirements
associated with such projects. Awareness raising and training could be provided by KPLCs in-house
Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) department.
Several consultees suggested that there was a need for better customer services training of BBHs and
their staff. Additionally it was felt that KPLC could provide more information on their products and
services; particularly those aimed at making electricity connection and supply more affordable. There
is for instance a low level of awareness of Stima Loan and misconceptions by potential customers
regarding this product. It is suggested that this training is provided by KPLC’s commercial department.
Several consultees identified that KPLC’s construction / maintenance contractors take short cuts to
save time and money compromising health, safety and quality. It was also felt by some local
communities that contractors had caused unnecessary damage to their property and that contractors
had not dealt with concerns raised by the local community or had provided misleading information. It is
suggested that KPLC’s site supervisory workforce receives training in site safety, environmental and
social issues associated with such projects as well as stakeholder liaison. It is suggested that this
training is provided to supervisory staff by KPLC’s SHE department.
The National Grid does not currently extend to all parts of Kenya, and large parts of the country, particularly in the
north, are not connected to the grid. Figure 11-1 shows the extent of the grid and the areas not covered. In the
off-grid areas, which lie principally in the northern and eastern parts of Kenya, KPLC and KenGen provide power
by means of diesel power plants which each supply a small isolated distribution network. Typically, the power
plant is located near to a major town in the off-grid area and an 11 kV network is used to distribute electricity
throughout the town. In some cases, KPLC or REA has extended the network to nearby towns or villages by
means of 33 kV feeders. Fuel is transported to the power plants by road tanker.
The off-grid power plants are listed in Table 11-1 which indicates the county in which the power plant is located
and annual generated energy for 2010/2011. Capacity and peak demand figures are also shown where this
information is available. There are a number of off-grid power plants currently under construction as noted in the
table.
The total energy generated by the off-grid power plants is relatively low, and for the year 2010/11 represented
just 0.8 % of the total electricity sales in the country. The combined peak demand on the off-grid power plants
was around 9 MW for 2010/1117.
The scope of work for the Master Plan Study includes the requirement to compare the cost of extending the grid
to each of the off-grid areas versus the cost of continuing with off-grid solutions. This section of the report
describes the methodology for this assessment and provides the costs and economic case for interconnection of
the off-grid stations.
17
The peak demand for Lamu was estimated based on an assumed load factor of 0.59.
There are a number of transmission projects at various stages of development, which will result in some of the
off-grid stations being connected to the grid. The relevant projects are listed in Table 11-2. The analysis was not
conducted for Lamu and Garissa as these areas will certainly be connected to the grid within the next few years
by means of the ongoing projects.
Table 11-3 shows the projected demand for the off-grid areas up to 2030. These figures were derived from the
2011 peak demand, with an annual growth rate of 15 %.

An example case considers the viability of extending the grid from Garissa to Wajir town, which will be the county
headquarters for Wajir County. As noted above, although Garissa is itself currently off-grid there is an ongoing
project to interconnect it with Kindaruma in the Mt. Kenya region by means of a 132 kV transmission line and a
new 132/33/11 kV substation at Garissa.
Interconnecting Wajir with the grid would involve the extension of Garissa 132 kV substation, a 267 km, single
circuit 132 kV line to Wajir and a new 132/33/11 kV substation at Wajir.
As indicated above, the peak demand for Wajir is expected to increase from its current level of around 1 MW, to
20 MW by 2030. Figure 11-2 shows a capability curve (voltage versus delivered power) for a 267 km, 132 kV
transmission line using single ‘Wolf’ conductor, which has a nominal aluminium area of 150 sq. mm. The curve
shows the receiving end voltage as load is increased for unity power factor (pf) of the combined load and any
reactive compensation. The sending end voltage level is 1.00 pu (132 kV). The curves show that 20 MW can be
transferred for 5 % voltage drop provided the reactive demand is fully compensated to give an effective power
factor of unity. Due to the long line length the maximum transfer capability is much less than the 80 MVA thermal
rating of the line.
The curve therefore indicates that the line would be capable of supporting the 20 MW, 2030 demand. It would
however be necessary, as the demand increased over time, to provide shunt capacitive compensation or possibly
dynamic compensation in the form of a static var compensator (SVC) in order to control the voltage at both
Garissa and Wajir. Line connected shunt reactors may also typically be required at Garissa and Wajir to prevent
over-voltages during no-load conditions, possibly with on-load tap changers.

The capital cost of the project is estimated at USD 28.5 million, broken down as shown in Table 11-5. The total
cost is dominated by the cost of the line. The costs allow for two 15 MVA transformers at Wajir and they also
include shunt reactors and capacitor banks to control the voltage. A third transformer would be required for N-1
security of supply once the load exceeds 15 MVA. Shunt capacitive compensation would not be required initially
due to the low initial demand.
The economic case for extension of the grid to supply areas currently supplied by off-grid diesel power plants is
based on the cost savings associated with replacement of off-grid diesel power plants with cheaper electricity
generated by grid connected power plants and imports.
Table 11-4 shows unit costs assumed for the transmission equipment associated with the grid connections.
For the example case of Wajir, the estimated cost of the grid connection is $33 million, with a breakdown as
shown in Table 11-5.
The economic parameters, on which the calculations were based, were derived from the LCPDP and from figures
provided by KPLC for the isolated diesel power plants (Table 11-6).
Common
Discount Rate 12%
Results of the calculations for the example case of Wajir are shown in Table 11-7 and Table 11-8.
The annual costs for the off-grid option include the capital cost of generating plant, and operating costs which
include fuel and O&M costs.
The annual costs of the grid connected option include; the capacity cost of the grid connected power plants
(derived from the long-run marginal cost -LRMC - of generation), energy cost of grid-connected generation,
LRMC of transmission, and capital and operating costs of the proposed transmission extension (Garissa-Wajir).
The grid connected calculation also takes account of estimated energy and power losses for the transmitted
power.
Off-grid 64 KSh/kWh
The results indicate that the whole-life cost of supplying Wajir over a grid connection would be less than the cost
of continuing with off-grid power. Based on the input parameters there is therefore an economic case for
extension of the grid to Wajir.

The same methodology was applied for each of the off-grid stations listed in Table 11-3.
Table 11-9 shows the proposed grid connection point and transmission voltage in each case and the estimated
transmission length. The transmission length was assumed to be 20 % greater than the straight-line distance
between the proposed point of connection and the off-grid station. The exception to this was in the case of Wajir,
as more detailed knowledge of the proposed route was known in this case.
Based on the input assumptions, the economic cost of continuing with an off-grid power plant would be
KSh. 64/kWh for all sites19. Table 11-10 shows the results of the economic evaluation for each of the off-grid
stations (apart from Garissa and Lamu as noted above).and indicates an economic case for extension of the grid
to the following off-grid sites:
Lodwar
Marsabit
Wajir
Habaswein
Hola
Note that whilst a grid connection to Elwak appears economical, this is based on interconnection of Mandera with
Wajir, which itself appears uneconomic.

This is a simplification as the fuel cost would vary between sites; however it is considered acceptable for the purpose of this
analysis.

12.1 Introduction
Distribution projects are generally driven by growth in demand. The specific location of the additional demand
will determine the type of project required, which may typically be either a reinforcement or extension type
project.
In the short-medium term, it is possible to determine specific project requirements as described in Section 9. In
the longer term however, due to uncertainty regarding the specific location of developments and infrastructure
projects, a different approach is needed for the distribution development plan.
The approach generally adopted by PB uses average incremental investment costs associated with the various
network topologies across the network to determine the level of investment required to meet the demand growth.
As the demand forecast has been disaggregated to county level up to 2030, it is possible to use this approach to
determine the investment requirements in distribution infrastructure on a county basis.
Generic network models have been developed to represent the typical network topologies in rural, urban and off-
grid areas. A further model has been developed to represent typical network arrangements in Nairobi due to the
distinct configuration adopted in Nairobi.
The models attempt to represent a small part of the network in each case, from the BSP, down to and including
the low voltage feeders. The models identify the distribution infrastructure and the associated costs to supply a
specific level of demand. The average incremental investment cost ($/kW) for each model is obtained by dividing
the investment cost of the infrastructure by the demand at each voltage level after taking account of losses20.
The average incremental investment costs are then multiplied by the demand growth in each county to obtain the
annual investment costs required per county to meet the projected demand.
The unit costs shown in Table 12-1 and Table 12-2 were applied in the models. These were derived from other
relevant recent projects in which PB has had involvement. The unit costs were used to calculate the investment
costs associated with the specific projects identified in the previous section. The unit costs were also applied in
the generic models to derive the average incremental investment costs.
20
Investment costs are divided by kW delivered and therefore losses have the effect of increasing the cost per kW.

The typical rural model is shown in Figure 12-1. This represents a single 33 kV feeder emanating from a
132/33 kV BSP and supplying a peak demand of 5 MVA. The total length of the feeder is 60 km, comprising 30
km of main line and a further 30 km of spurs. The feeder supplies a 33/11 kV primary substation and a number
of 33/0.433 kV distribution transformers. (Whilst it is primarily a rural feeder, it does include a primary substation
along its length to supply a town at 11 kV.) The primary substation comprises 2 x 7.5 MVA transformers and 4 x
15 km 11 kV feeders. Each distribution transformer supplies 3 x 600 m LV feeders. All feeders are assumed to
be over-head. An average distribution transformer rating of 200 kVA was assumed for the rural model.
The model calculates the average investment cost per kW both for the 33/0.415 kV and the 33/11/0.415 kV
supplies as indicated in Figure 12-1.

The equipment quantities required for the committed and proposed projects in the short-medium term, (described
in Section 9) are summarised in Table 12-3.
For the committed projects, it is assumed that funding has already been secured. Table 12-4 shows the
estimated costs for the proposed 66 kV and 33 kV projects only. These proposed projects, which are based on
detailed analysis as described in Section 9, are beyond the projects that are already ongoing or committed. The
estimated investment cost of these proposed additional projects is $ 149 million over the next five years. The
projects including their estimated costs are individually listed in Appendix F.
Table 12-5 shows the estimated costs of the proposed additional bulk supply points. These costs, totalling
USD 107 million over the next five years, are for the BSP substations only and do not include costs for
transmission lines required to connect these BSPs to the existing transmission grid.

The proposed projects do not include the investments required at 11 kV and LV. These are accounted for using
average incremental costs from the generic models. The following average incremental costs were applied to
cover short-medium term development at 11 kV and LV:
The total annual investment in the short-medium term is the sum of the specific 66 kV and 33 kV project
investments and the 11 kV and LV investment derived from the average incremental costs. 21
In all counties apart from Nairobi and the off-grid counties, the investment costs were calculated from the
rural/urban split in demand identified in Section 4, using both the rural and urban average incremental costs.
For the long term (2018-2030), the investment costs were derived from the average incremental costs for
66/11/LV supplies in the case of Nairobi and 33/11/LV supplies for all other counties. The following average
incremental costs were applied to calculate long term investment requirements:
The total distribution infrastructure investment requirements for each county are summarised in Table 12-6. This
includes estimated investment requirements for;
the specific proposed short-medium term (2013-2017) 66 kV and 33 kV projects described in Section 9.
Note that this excludes the costs associated with committed distribution projects,
the estimated 11 kV and LV investment required in the short-medium term based on the generic
models and
the total estimated distribution investment requirements in the long term (2018-2030), based on the
generic models.
The irregular pattern of investment for some of the counties is due to the effect of the Vision 2030 Flagship
Projects taken from the LCPDP. These projects are generally in very early stages of development and as noted
in the LCPDP their power requirements are rough estimates at this stage.
Table 12-6 shows total annual investment in distribution infrastructure increasing from $ 183 million in 2013 to
$ 1.6 billion by 2030. The net present value of this investment at a discount rate of 12 % in money of 2012 is
$3.9 billion.
21
In the case of off-grid counties, no specific projects were identified and the full investment cost is calculated from the average
incremental costs.

13.1 Conclusions
The main conclusions that may be drawn from the study are briefly described below.
Network models were developed for each of the four KPLC regions using NEPLAN. The models were refined
through visits to each of the regions and through detailed discussions with the KPLC counterpart team. The
models include the complete 66 kV and 33 kV networks in addition to representative 11 kV feeders.
Network analysis of the existing system was then conducted with the primary purpose of validating the models.
Specific network weaknesses were identified through this analysis and these are described in the report.
A short-medium term (2013-2017) distribution network reinforcement and expansion plan was developed for each
of the regions. This plan is based on detailed network analysis and identifies proposed 66 kV and 33 kV projects
that are required beyond the ongoing and committed projects. The need for additional BSPs, beyond the
committed transmission projects, and reinforcement of existing BSPs in order to support the distribution network
has also been identified.
The need for the projects is driven by the demand forecast which has been disaggregated to county level and
then applied to the individual substations across the network. The proposed projects should be considered the
minimum requirement to meet the forecast demand whilst complying with the planning criteria identified in
Section 5.
Across the network a total of approximately 300 projects are proposed for completion by 2017. These include
66 kV and 33 kV feeders, new and reinforced substations and reactive compensation. The estimated total
investment cost of these projects (excluding BSPs which would form part of transmission investment) is $ 149
million. The estimated investment required in new BSPs is a further $ 107 million. This is just for the BSP
substations and excludes the costs of transmission lines required to connect the new BSPs to the existing grid.
The corresponding investment in the 11 kV and LV networks is included in the overall investment plan described
below.
The National Grid does not currently extend to all parts of Kenya, and large parts of the country, particularly in the
north, are not connected to the grid. The total energy generated by the off-grid diesel power plants is relatively
low, and for the year 2010/11 represented just 0.8 % of the total electricity sales in the country.
Studies were conducted to assess the technical requirements and economic viability of extending the grid to each
of the off-grid areas. The studies include a comparison of the levelised cost of electricity for the grid connected
and off-grid options. The results indicate an economic case for extension of the grid to; Lodwar, Marsabit, Wajir,
Habaswein and Hola.22 These sites would be interconnected to the grid through extension of the transmission
network and therefore these projects are not included within the list of proposed distribution projects.
Environmental impact assessment scoping studies have been conducted for the projects proposed in the
Distribution Master Plan.
The scoping studies provide an initial assessment of the potential environmental and social impacts associated
with each of the projects currently proposed. The assessment has been based on desk study data used to
inform the county level baseline summaries as well as on feedback obtained from the in-county consultation
meetings. The impacts (and associated mitigation proposals) are necessarily high level since the exact project
locations and extents are as yet to be determined.
Based on the consultation feedback and high level assessments conducted to date, the negative impacts of
many of the proposed projects are expected to be minimal and the overall benefits of the projects are expected to
greatly outweigh the adverse impacts.
The EIA Scoping Report is intended to provide a basis for project-specific discussions with the relevant
authorities and stakeholders to help determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required
for each of the projects which come forward as part of the Distribution Master Plan.
Generic models were developed to represent typical rural, urban and off-grid areas. These models were used to
derive average incremental investment costs which were applied to the demand forecast to obtain estimated long
term investment requirements for each of the counties.
The specific projects identified through detailed network studies only cover 66 kV and 33 kV network
requirements. The generic models were therefore also used to derive corresponding investments requirements
for the 11 kV and LV networks.
The total distribution infrastructure investment requirements for each county are provided in the report. This
includes estimated investment requirements for;
the specific proposed short-medium term (2013-2017) 66 kV and 33 kV projects. Note that this
excludes the costs associated with committed distribution projects,
the estimated 11 kV and LV investment required in the short-medium term based on the generic
models and
the total estimated distribution investment requirements in the long term (2018-2030), based on the
generic models
The total annual investment in distribution infrastructure increases from $ 183 million in 2013 to $ 1.6 billion by
2030. The net present value of this investment at a discount rate of 12 % is $3.9 billion23.

Garissa and Lamu were excluded from this analysis as there are ongoing projects to connect these areas to the grid.

13.2 Recommendations
During the data collection phase of this project it was observed that essential network planning data is not always
readily available. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the network planning process, it is
essential that improvements are made in the quality and accessibility of network and metering information
available to the planning department.
KPLC’s network database was found to be only 60-70 % complete and in many cases conflicts were found
between the database and network schematics. For effective planning, it is important that the database and
schematics reflect as closely as possible the state of the network.
The lack of consistent primary substation and feeder load information is a significant issue and one that should
be addressed in order to improve the planning process and assist with prudent investment decisions.
Distribution planning by necessity should be done at the local level within each region. Knowledge of the local
conditions, customers, and the existing network are all vital to distribution planning engineers. However there
should be a similar approach throughout the KPLC offices, applying national standards and planning criteria.
Currently, there is a wide variance in terms of training, tools, experience, and methodology of distribution
planning across the regions.
Procedures should be implemented and regular training provided to ensure that they are widely understood and
applied. Additionally, feedback from all regions should be used to update the standards and guidelines as
necessary.
Implementation of planning and analysis software such as NEPLAN needs to be part of the overall
implementation of a coordinated network planning process. These packages are tools for planners to evaluate
different present and future scenarios to arrive at an optimum solution. However, without a coordinated network
planning process, these tools are of little benefit.
It is recommended that KPLC invests further in training for distribution planning and that this training is rolled out
to each of the regions.
It is recommended that KPLC expands the use of NEPLAN to distribution planning engineers throughout Kenya
and continues the development of the network models. They need to be maintained in a controlled centralised
manner, ensuring that all network changes are captured.
KPLC should establish a dedicated central distribution planning section. This section would be responsible for;
Controlling the use of network planning software models across the regions.
The new Design Manual is a draft document and should be reviewed by KPLC before using it for network design.
The existing DSGM is likely to have evolved over some considerable time and may in many respects provide
adequate guidance.
The new Design Manual covers a number of areas as described above, including aspects not covered in the
DSGM. It is recommended that the new Design Manual is adopted over time. Some aspects may be found by
KPLC to be more useful and applicable than others and therefore is suggested that the document is gradually
amended and increasingly adopted by KPLC.
The report includes recommendations for training workshops associated with the Design Manual and also
includes recommendations for the development of related documentation including; construction and
maintenance manuals and technical specifications.
The Master Plan is based on many assumptions, not least the demand forecast. It should be reviewed annually
and modified as necessary to reflect changes in the underlying assumptions. The network planning software
(NEPLAN) provides the flexibility to readily incorporate changes and assess new requirements.

A. PLANNING MANAGEMENT
Planning Management
1. INTRODUCTION
Network plans should cover individual investments in a 1 to 10 year period. To meet the needs of the
near future, these plans are mainly used for the purpose of network augmentation. The network plans
are generally consistent with the projects anticipated under the longer-term plans.
Long term planning takes a strategic view of how the network should be developed to meet future
objectives. The long term plan will take into consideration predicted load growth, both high and low
scenarios, and highlight future network issues. It should be flexible enough to accommodate change.
Medium and short term planning involves provisional or detailed planning based on better information
regarding load growth and asset condition. The short term plan contains details of approved network
reinforcement and asset replacement projects.
A Network Management Plan should essentially be a blueprint, based on asset management policy
and operational plans. It details the intentions relating to network reliability, capacity and security of
supply. The plan should be reviewed every year and be published in two parts as outlined below:
A background to, and a summary of the progress made in relation to the previous Network
Management Plan
Key challenges facing the company, relating to the management of the supply network
Section 1 provides a high-level summary of network performance and capability, along with key
challenges and the policies and strategies that have been adopted in response. Section 1 also
provides a separate progress report against the previous Network Management Plan.
Section 2 details the specifics of network capability and works planning. It also facilitates a process for
stakeholder feedback on network constraints, supply issues and proposed solutions.
3. PLANNING TIMESCALES
Planning timescales are generally governed by the time necessary to react to future needs and make
changes or additions to the network. They are therefore influenced by the following factors: -
Networks experiencing high load growth have to be developed in much shorter time scales in order to
ensure there is sufficient capacity to supply the load growth. High rates of load growth usually occur
where there are large areas of new development on green field or brown field sites. This can make it
easier to obtain sites and install electricity infrastructure. There are still practical limitations to the
timescales associated with construction at each voltage level and so it is important to identify large
projects at an early stage. It may also be necessary to accept a level of network risk during
construction periods in order to supply new loads.
Network planning during periods of low load growth has different challenges. Changes to the network
occur over much longer periods of time and the justification to spend capital on reinforcement can
prove difficult particularly where the risk of overload is low. Where load growth does occur it is usually
in built up area where land availability is scare and network extensions must be incorporated into an
existing infrastructure. Network development during these periods tends to be done in phases and
each stage must have the flexibility to accommodate future changes. Long term plans require less
frequent review periods.
This takes a strategic view of how the network should be developed to meet future objectives. The
long term plan will take into consideration predicted load growth, both high and low scenarios, and
highlight future network issues. It should be flexible enough to accommodate change.
The long term plan typically contains the following types of project: -
Named large projects which take 5 years or more to plan, design and construct
Long term plans should be reviewed and challenged on a 1 – 2 year basis to ensure the strategic
view of the network is still appropriate in light of new technologies, changes to load growth forecasts
etc.
This is a provisional plan based on better information regarding load growth and asset condition. The
medium term plan will contain more detailed information.
The medium term plan typically contains the following types of project: -
Named HV & MV projects which take 2 years or more to plan, design and construct
Medium term plans should align with the long term objectives and be reviewed against the long term
plan to ensure there is no conflict.
This is a detailed plan of approved network reinforcement and asset replacement projects needed to
meet the existing and imminent needs of the network.
Small MV and LV projects which take less than 1 or 2 years to plan, design and construct
Short term plans should align with the medium and long term objectives e.g. the use of dual ratio
transformers in a part of the network where long term plans exist to increase the distribution voltage
4. FORECASTING
Load forecasting is an essential part of the planning activities of an electricity supply utility. Its main
purpose is to assist in determining the need and appropriate timing for network reinforcement along
the planning horizon.
Based on the period of study, load forecasting can be divided into three categories:
Short-term forecasts are required by network planners for operational planning and day-to-
day decision making. These forecasts are aimed at predicting system load ranging from a few
hours to a few days.
Medium-term forecasting is usually valid for one to five years and it is necessary in fuel
procurement and scheduling unit maintenance.
Developing the load forecasts at appropriate levels for the distribution networks in Kenya will ensure
that there is an accurate indication of the loads that need to be supplied in future years.
Load growth forecasts on a localized regional basis should be to include some built-in indicators such
as employment levels, economic and urban development into the forecasts. These forecasts should
be targeted at high growth areas in Kenya.
Spatial load forecasting should be the preferred load forecasting method for Kenya.
The recommended first stage of the load forecast is economic analysis, based upon projecting
forward underlying factors that influence the demand for electricity in each census district area in the
region (a census district area is nominally an area of 100 – 150 households). The sectors to use are:
Population
Number of households
Retail space
Commercial space
Industrial space
Agriculture
Where specific information is available on an area or specific project, these underlying trends should
be modified to take account of this data. The data available for each sector is then combined into BSP
substation areas, to give the predicted population metric in each sector on a per BSP substation
basis. Agricultural activity should be handled slightly differently to the other sectors, and information
on agricultural development is bundled into the other metrics for the final output.
The second phase of preparing the load forecast is to apply After Diversity Maximum Demand
(ADMD) figures to the available population metrics. The figures from various sectors (residential,
commercial and industrial) should be added together by applying typical load profiles and determining
a demand for each half hour of the day. The peak figure for the day is taken as the peak demand
figure for each BSP substation area.
In certain areas, it may be necessary to scale the ADMD figures slightly to match up with existing
electrical demand and existing trends in electrical demand.
Existing major loads and customers shall be accounted for separately: for these customers it is
necessary to make some assumptions about the shape of their demand curve as no other data may
be available.
Load growth within the subcells is defined by the national load growth for each consumer category
and the weightings within each cell.
A wide range of forecasting methods are available to support the network planning process and will
vary widely as to basic approach, data needs, skill requirements, labour and resource requirement
forecast accuracy and scenario ability. A good forecasting method should address issues such as
weather-load relationship, nature of load, socio-economic data, load growth pattern etc.
These methods are only possible without the suppressing of demand and once a suitable historical
data bank has been developed.
There are several statistical methods of producing forecasts of future electric power demands, and in
practice combination of some methods can be used, and most have a special area of application.
In these methods, historical data is used to extrapolate into the future to obtain the load forecasts for
the area of interest. The method is feasible for a short- or medium-term ahead (1 to 3 years), but the
trend becomes less accurate as the forecasting period increases.
Considerable errors can occur in the forecast since this method takes no account of the stage of
development of the area of interest.
These methods are best suited for stable environments and some common methods are Moving
Average methods, Exponential-Smoothing methods and Box-Jenkins methods.
Simulation methods are based on using specific annual consumption figures, obtained from surveys
of individual consumption classes and the number of customers in each consumption class. It imitates
the consumer choices that give rise to electricity demand to arrive at a forecast.
The present situation can be obtained from the billing data of customers and the future development
of each consumption class can be estimated from national information and then modified for local
use.
Simulation forecasts are especially relevant for areas where large developments are expected or
when the forecast period is longer than 5 years.
The econometric approaches adopt the combination of economic theory and statistical techniques for
forecasting electricity loads. They are based on obtaining suitable correlation between power
consumption and various economic parameters such as gross national product (GDP), index of
industrial production and rate of inflation. The effect of the price of electricity is also relevant. Large-
scale econometric models are not appropriate for the small area usually associated with individual
distribution system studies.
Energy consumption in various sectors such as residential, commercial and industrial can be
calculated as a function of weather, economic and other variables, and then estimates are combined
together with the use of recent historical data.
Electrical load on a power system is influenced by factors like meteorological, socio-economic and
demographic variables. These include temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation
level, sunshine duration, temperature-humidity index (THI), wind-chill index (WCI), population, and
gross domestic product (GDP).
Careful selection of these variables depending on the range and nature of the forecast is critical for
load forecasting. The selection criterion could be based on human intuition and would have to be
validated by their correlation and contribution analysis for a medium-term forecast. In addition, there
are some casual variables that rarely happen but give an abnormal effect on load such as national or
religious holidays, or significant public events.
For short-term load forecasting where the time horizon is relatively small, the social and economical
conditions will have little effects in producing the forecast and factors like weather data (including
humidity and temperature) and time factors should be given more emphasis.
Unlike short-term forecasting, medium forecasting is influenced more by factors other than weather
conditions. Socio-economic variables such as the number of customers in different categories,
number of appliances in the area play an important role in developing medium-term load forecast.
In long-term forecasting, weather factors become less effective, since it cannot be forecast on a long
term basis, and socio-economic variables such as population and GDP tend to play a major role for
long-term load forecast.
4.4 Bulk Supply Point (BSP) Substations (132/33 kV and 132/66 kV)
A forecast is required for both summer and winter, however often only the summer forecast is
developed as the summer period is when most BSP substations are critically loaded.
During the period of the year that the maximum demand day is expected to occur, additional manual
logging may be required to ensure all BSP’s are recorded adequately.
Any switching conditions and the amount of reactive power compensation that occurred during the
maximum demand should be taken into account.
If the BSP substation loading data is not available (i.e. MW, MVAr or A) at the time of maximum
demand then some estimation will need to be done. The estimated figure should be based on the
data available from feeders and distribution loop loading. The estimated figure should then be
confirmed with forecasts and high demands on other days during the maximum demand season.
If only the load current value for a BSP substation is available then convert this to MVA and apply the
forecast power factor value to determine the MW and MVAr components.
If feeder MW and MVAr quantities are available, add up the MW. This is the MW MD for the BSP
substation. Add up the feeder MVArs and subtract off the BSP substation capacitor MVAr. This is then
the BSP substation MVAr loading.
If only the feeder Amps are available, add up the feeder Amps. Convert this to MVA. Subtract from the
MVA, half of the BSP substation capacitor MVArs. Add up the distribution Amps of each line into the
station. Convert to MVA. The BSP substation MVA will be roughly the average of these two MVA
quantities.
4.5 Feeders
Usually summer will be the peak load but some feeders load will not change substantially with
season, so a forecast is required for both summer and winter.
If the feeder data is not available at the time of maximum demand then an estimate will need to be
made. The best estimation is to look at similar loading conditions on other days in that season and to
adjust the feeder demand in the same proportion as the amount the BSP substation demand
increased.
5. PLANNING PROCESS
There are also a number of issues and challenges that are faced by a distribution system which point
towards the need for planning in a coordinated manner.
A utility needs to know that there is a benefit to its investments in the distribution system. If
there were no planning process to assess the costs and benefits of a given project, then there
would be a real risk of waste.
A distribution system tends to be a very large complicated system and so there are usually
many different ways of achieving the same goal. A big part of distribution planning is
determining which of the many solutions best fit the problem.
Not only in Kenya, but throughout the world, the distribution asset base is getting older and
has to work harder. This increased utilisation decreases the expected equipment lifetime and
obviously has an effect on the reliability. Again the size of a distribution system makes
complete replacement unfeasible. It is important to consider this utilisation and age profile
when proposing projects.
It should also be noted that it can just take a small increase in load to trigger substantial investment.
This applies to the other sections of the electricity system as well. If demand were completely met by
the network, there would be no need for further investment. However adding just a small additional
load or moving a load can mean reinforcements throughout the network.
As with other parts of power system planning, there is a level of uncertainty associated with the future
requirements of a distribution system. This reinforces the need for careful planning, as it is only
through the planning process, that you can ensure that proposed developments are an appropriate
cost-effective solution.
Planning on the distribution system should be done in a coordinated manner in consultation with
internal departments and KETRACO. By breaking the planning process in to a number of functional
groups, it is possible to view this interaction. Figure 5-2outlines this process breakdown.
As can be seen, many portions of distribution planning can be undertaken in isolation. However
consultation is usually required when looking at the planning of primary substations, the 33 kV
system, and the Transmission System.
As well as looking at the overall distribution planning process, a planner should consider the planning
process at the project level. This project planning process is shown in Figure 5-3.
Typically there will be a problem that will arise on the distribution system that requires the attention of
the planning department. It’s important to identify the core issue and any related issues that may be
associated. Some of the common areas are:
• Capacity
o Existing Overloads
o Voltage constraints
• Compliance
o Security Standards
• Power Quality
o Customer complaints
o Flicker
o Voltage dips
Usually we are trying to select an option that meets certain criteria i.e. our goals. The main goal for
most distribution systems is finding the least cost solution.
A satisfactory distribution plan must also meet planning standards. Planning Standards covering
voltage, frequency, harmonics, security ensure that the system will function properly.
These criteria and standards are not goals to be optimised but are requirements to be met. If a
standard states a maximum voltage drop of 6%, provided that the distribution plan meets this, then
there is no point in trying to reduce this further, unless it is of economic benefit.
Identifying the options available is arguably the most crucial part of any planner’s job. It needs
resources and time – often if faced with immediate operational problems, it is easy to miss better
solutions due to lack of time.
For similar reasons, this is why distribution planning needs to consider the medium and long term. If
KPLC does not look far enough ahead, this can limit the options available particularly with regards to
substation sites and feeder routes. A planner should also consider making no changes as an option.
This is unlikely to be the best case but it develops the reasoning and financial justification for why a
project must be done.
As stated, distribution planning requires resources and time – usually in short supply. To evaluate
every possible option would be too time consuming. That’s why it is important that as knowledge and
experience increases, the planner screens the options available. That’s not to say the options have
not been considered; just that they have not been deemed worthy enough to be evaluated further.
It is this area of work that planning tools such as NEPLAN become the most useful.
In order to determine the best solution, a process needs to be followed to evaluate the options. An
evaluation standard is typically a good idea and means that all planners are following the same
process.
The final option should aim to meet the required standard not exceed it, unless it makes sense to from
a long term point of view. It should also consider the strategic view of KPLC and quite importantly
should be unbiased. It is quite common for a planner to have a favourite solution but this must be
born out in the analysis.
B. PLANNING CRITERIA
Planning Criteria
1. INTRODUCTION
Planning criteria are based on the requirement to comply with statutory requirements. Where no
statutory requirements exist the criteria are based on international practices. How these criteria are
applied to the distribution network is discussed in later sections of this document.
2. VOLTAGE CRITERIA
Kenya Power must maintain the average or steady state r.m.s. value of voltage at a customer’s point
of supply according to all applicable Government codes and regulations.
The standard nominal low voltages are 230V and 400V for single-phase and three-phase systems
although some legacy 240/415V systems exist. The network should be developed to accommodate
an IEC compatible 230V/400V standard.
3. FREQUENCY CRITERIA
The distribution system shall be designed to ensure that under normal and planned contingency
conditions, frequency will remain within a band between 47 to 52Hz. Sustained operation outside this
frequency range need not be taken into account when planning, designing and operating the network.
New network shall be planned using demand power factors taken from the load forecast from each
grid substation. All distribution networks shall have a target power factor of 0.90 with large customers
(over 1MVA) required to achieve 0.95.
5. SECURITY OF SUPPLY
Table 5-1 summarises the re-supply requirement in relation to the size of the load block affected by a
first or second outage. An outage can be the loss of either a circuit or a transformer.
Restoration Time of
C 8MW to 60MW Within 15 minutes
Planned Outage*
*Planned outages are assumed to be restricted to non-summer periods when due to lower ambient temperatures
demand is reduced and equipment ratings enhanced.
A first outage is considered to be a fault or planned outage occurring at any time of the year including
the period of maximum demand.
A second outage is considered to be a fault outage occurring when an integral part of the network
under consideration is not available due to planned maintenance.
Loads in Class A have a maximum demand up to 1MW. Following a first outage the load must be re-
supplied within the time required to repair the fault. This group typically applies to LV loads supplied
from an 11/0.4kV distribution substation or an 11kV tee from a rural 11kV overhead line.
Loads in Class B have a maximum demand between 1 - 8MW. Following a first outage the load must
be re-supplied within 3 hours. This is usually achieved by manual switching of the 11kV network
feeders to re-supply customers from an alternative 11kV busbar using an 11kV open ring network
design.
Loads in Class C have a maximum demand between 8 - 60MW. Following a first outage the load
must be re-supplied within 15 minutes. This could be achieved by running the 11kV busbars solid at
33/11kV substation (i.e. with the 11kV bus section circuit breaker normally closed) if the fault level is
within the design levels or by fitting remote SCADA control to the 11kV bus section circuit breaker so
that the control engineer can close the bus section circuit breaker to re-supply customers within 15
minutes following the loss of a transformer.
6. POWER QUALITY
Harmonic distortion is principally caused by non linear loads such as rectifiers and switched mode
power supplies and can cause overloading and/or overheating of equipment. The following harmonic
voltage distortion limits are recommended based on the UK Engineering Recommendation G5/4
which is an internationally recognised standard.
0.415kV 5%
11kV 4%
33kV 3%
Voltage fluctuation caused by rapidly changing loads such as motor starting or welding equipment can
result in flicker. The following limitations are recommended based on UK Engineering
Recommendation P28, which is an internationally recognised standard.
% Voltage Dip
*The voltage dip limit of frequently changing loads should be determined by the time between changes and the load
characteristic (i.e. step change or ramp). This value can be derived from Figures 4 and 5 (Pages 15 & 16) of
Engineering Recommendation P28.
Unbalanced three-phase voltages can occur due to unequal loading of the three phases and can lead
to damage to motors due to overheating. It is recommended that voltage unbalance should not
exceed 2% of the nominal voltage over any one minute period and 1.3% for longer durations at 33kV
and below based on the UK standard Engineering Recommendation P29 which is an internationally
recognised standard.
Assessments and / or measurements should be made to ensure that new equipment being installed
by customers will not adversely affect the quality of existing supplies.
7. FAULT LEVELS
The minimum design short circuit fault levels for the distribution network in Kenya are given below:
In practice a higher rating may be specified for distribution network equipment. The rated rupturing
capacity of the circuit breakers in any substation shall be no less than 120% of the maximum fault
levels calculated.
C. ECONOMIC PLANNING
Economic Planning
1. INTRODUCTION
The nature of distribution networks means that there are often a large number of solutions to any
technical problem. One of the most important skills for planners is to be able to ascertain and develop
the most economic technically feasible solution.
Planners must balance the quality, reliability, capacity, and coverage of their distribution network with
the overall cost. Typically the cost to upgrade a piece of network is higher than the cost of building
that capacity into the network initially.
Generally it is important to consider all of the lifetime costs of a proposed plan. This usually means
that the losses involved should be considered. The effect on the plan that the cost of these losses
may have can be calculated manually, but PB have developed a number of spreadsheet based tools
to aid this process:
2. CON-OPT
CON-OPT is a spreadsheet based tool (Figure 2-1) which (among other functions) allows the user to
calculate the impact of losses on the whole life cost of a conductor and therefore enable the most
economic conductor to be selected.
The use of CON-OPT is best illustrated with an example. The following conditions are input in the
spreadsheet:
• Voltage = 11kV
• Load Growth = 7%
• Load Distribution Factor = 0.44 (assumes 5 load points along the feeder)
• Timescale = 7 years
The cost of losses is a particularly important parameter. It should be the long run marginal cost, and
thus represent the cost in economic terms of not only generating the energy losses, but also the long
term cost of installing generating plant to supply the peak power losses.
In order to compare three types of conductor, some capital costs for each conductor are also required.
• Initial Capital Cost of Racoon 75mm2 ACSR conductor assumed to be US$ 22,000 per km
• Initial Capital Cost of Wolf ACSR 150mm2 conductor assumed to be US$ 26,000 per km
• Initial Capital Cost of UPAS 300mm2 AAAC conductor assumed to be US$ 35,000 per km
CON-OPT calculates the losses that occur whenever the line is energised based on the electrical
characteristics of each conductor.
Using discounting, CON-OPT then calculates the Net Present Value (NPV) of each conductor over
the given lifetime for a range of initial loading and plots this data.
The results are shown in Figure 2-2. As the load increases, so does the cost of losses, until it
becomes economic to choose a larger conductor with lower resistance. For this particular example, it
shows that the choice of economic conductor changes at around 800 kVA of initial load, then again at
2000 kVA.
3. TRANS-OPT
TRANS-OPT (Figure 2.3). is slightly more complicated than CON-OPT although it works on the same
principle. Essentially the only difference is that it is designed for use on transformers where, unlike
distribution conductors, there are two components to losses – fixed and variable. The fixed losses are
the iron losses which are not load dependant. The variable losses result from the resistance of the
windings and are current dependant.
The spreadsheet also contains the functionality to evaluate staged installation of transformers or
substation transformer replacements.
D. NETWORK RELIABILITY
Network Reliability
1. INTRODUCTION
Reliability of the distribution network should be considered separately for underground networks and
overhead networks. In considering network performance statistics such as SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI and
CAIFI, the performance of the 11kV network is critical since individual outages on the LV network
affect relatively few customers and at 66kV or 33kV there is usually sufficient redundancy that no
customer loses supply following a single fault outage.
2. PERFORMANCE STATISTICS
Network performance is measured by the number of supply interruptions and the duration of the
interruption. Reliability indices are used to report system performance on an annual basis.
The performance indicators listed in this section are defined in IEEE Std. 1366-2003 Guide for Electric
Power Distribution Reliability Indices.
The definition of an interruption is a disconnection from the source of power lasting more than three
minute. This period of time allows all automatic re-close actions to have taken place, and confirms
the interruption to be persistent.
System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) is the average number of interruptions per
customer served from the system per year. It is determined by dividing accumulated number of
customer interruptions in a year by the number of customers served, as shown below:
Customer Average Interruption Frequency Index (CAIFI) is the average number of customers
interruptions per customer served from the system per year. It is determined by dividing accumulated
number of customer interruptions in a year by the number of customers who have experienced at
least one interruption, as shown below:
System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) is the average interruption duration for customers
served. It is determined by dividing the sum of all customer interruption durations during a year by the
number of customers served, as indicated below:
Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) is the average number of customers
interruptions per customer served from the system per year. It is determined by dividing accumulated
number of customer interruptions in a year by the number of customers who have experienced at
least one interruption, as shown below:
In order to benchmark the performance of the distribution networks in Kenya, distribution network
reliability data from an number of countries has been collated in this section.
Detailed distribution network performance information is not widely published on an annual basis in
most other countries; however more detailed information is available in the UK.
The Council for European Energy Regulators (CEER) has recently published its 3rd Benchmarking
Report on Quality of Supply. This report has been published every two years since 2001 and contains
data for a limited number of European countries including France and Great Britain.
Performance data for the other cities of interest has been obtained via an internet literature search.
The data obtained is accompanied by the caveat that in some countries it is unclear how the figures
have been compiled i.e. which voltage levels have been included or excluded and the definition of an
interruption1.
Table 2-1 shows a comparison of Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) over a five
year period. This performance indicator is also known as customer minutes lost (CML) in some
countries.

In Great Britain the data excludes interruptions lasting less than 3 minutes. This is also the case in the CEER report. However
the Report on the New York State Energy Planning Board’s report on the Reliability of New York’s Electric Transmission and
Distribution Systems, November 200, states an interruption to be longer than 5 minutes.

Table 2-2 shows a comparison of System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) over a five
year period. This performance indicator is also known as customer interruptions (CI) in some other
countries.
The performance data for Tokyo indicated a highly reliable network both in terms of interruption
duration and frequency although the reporting criteria were unknown and therefore only cursory
comparisons can be made.
The customer interruptions figure for the Manhattan area of New York stands out as being
exceptionally low compared to the other cities / countries. This could be due to the five minutes
duration required for a loss of supply to be classed as an interruption compared to the three minutes
used by Ofgem and CEER.
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 show typical numbers of customer minutes lost and customer interruptions
across the various distribution companies in the UK.

The average interruption frequency is reported for each operating area. The figure used is for the Manhattan operating area.
When calculating reliability indices, most distribution network operators do not take into account
outages of less than 3 minutes.
In order to accurately calculate the reliability indices described in the above sections, detailed
information on each outage within the distribution network needs to be measured and recorded,
indicating the duration of each of the outages and number of customers interrupted. In addition, in
order to implement reliability improvement initiatives, the cause of the fault should to be determined
and recorded for each outage.
In cases where it is difficult to record and monitor detailed data on individual outages, supply system
security can be measured and monitored in terms of standard failure rates for various supply system
components and the time taken to restore power supply upon such failures. Standards based on
equipment failure rates can also be employed to determine when plant refurbishment or replacement
is required. By monitoring performance against these standards, it is possible to make judgments
about the relative quality of materials purchased from different suppliers.
The need to economize on capital expenditure should be considered when formulating standards of
security, in order to minimize the cost of electricity to the consumer, while maintaining as far as
possible the degree of security of supply to which customers are entitled.
Standards for customer outage performance influence all aspects of the planning, design and
operation of the power system. In general, standards for the restoration of customer service are more
demanding than those of repair or replacement of faulty equipment. Provision for redundancy in the
distribution system should be made in order to permit service restoration in advance of equipment
repair. The security of supply standard should be used to determine the appropriate level of
redundancy to build into the system, and the system configurations that will translate this redundancy
into prescribed customer outage frequencies and duration.
Unplanned and planned outage statistics and reports should be collected by the Operations
Department and the Distribution Control Centre, who should provide feedback to the design engineers
for analysis. Unplanned outages are generally caused by network faults or system failure, while
planned outages are caused by load shedding schemes.
3. UNDERGROUNDED NETWORKS
Undergrounded distribution networks at all voltages generally suffer from third party damage such as
may be caused by mechanical excavators. In other instances, operator error can cause unnecessary
outages. In some heavily loaded networks, overload may also be a problem leading to joint and
termination failures. Steps that may be adopted to affect improvements are the following:
Provide better information to contractors on the location of buried assets, even to the extent of
using cable locating devices prior to commencing excavation.
Ensure system operators are aware of network hot spots, that they have appropriate systems
to show current loading at any point in time and that they have prepared operational plans for
planned and unplanned outages.
Provide remote control and/or automation to isolate the faulty section and to restore supplies
following a fault outage.
In addition to the above, it is necessary to ensure that a rapid response can be made to restore the
faulty section once it is isolated.
4. OVERHEAD NETWORKS
The causes of faults on overhead systems are generally component failure, weather, fauna and birds,
and contact with vehicles.
Although network configuration may have an influence on performance statistics, particularly the
length of 11kV between the source and the normally open point, it is seldom cost effective to place
planning constraints on configuration.
Depending on the nature of faults, the factors that can be managed to improve network performance
statistics are:
Overhead line protection schemes, particularly the use of multi-shot circuit breakers or
reclosers and sectionalisers to ensure that only the faulty section is isolated.
Design standards for the use of air-break isolators and transformer fuse isolators.
Regular line patrols monitoring unauthorised connections and clearance infringements and.
In extreme circumstances where there are very high fault rates together with long line lengths, it may
be necessary to shorten line lengths in order to obtain the necessary improvement.
1. INTRODUCTION
This guideline describes the general principles of controlling voltage and power factor and is aimed at
assisting network planners to design networks that comply with the appropriate planning standards.
2. VOLTAGE REGULATION
Voltage is a resource to be used by Planners throughout the distribution network. If the voltage
standard requires a +10/-10% tolerance, then the network should be designed to use the full 20%
band of voltage in order to be economic.
Figure 2-1 below shows an example of a typical voltage regulation scheme between the main 11kV
busbars and the LV network for both rural and urban type networks. Typically planners need to
consider the customers at the start and the end of the circuit:
Customers at end – High Load – In this case, low voltages are a concern, so a high load is
should be considered.
Customers at start – Low Load – High voltages may be an issue at times of low loading so
these should also be considered.
11/0.4kV distribution transformers may have off load tap changers with a range of +/- 5% in 2.5%
steps. These are typically set up so that distribution transformers located at the far end of the feeder
have a lower tap setting than those closest to the substation in order to compensate for the increase
in voltage drop along the 11kV feeder. As can be seen in the above example, the use of the tap
changers allows further management of voltage on the LV feeders.
Consideration should be taken as to the typical length of LV feeders to determine how much volt drop
to allow in the 11 kV feeders. For instance in rural areas, less volt drop in the 11 kV system, allows
longer LV feeders to be run.
Voltage regulation can be achieved through on-load tap changers controlled by automatic voltage
control (AVC) schemes at each transformation point down to the 11kV busbars of a primary
substation. These should typically maintain the busbar voltage at slightly higher than nominal voltage
to allow for voltage drop along the outgoing feeders.
The bandwidth and time delay of the voltage control schemes are coordinated with the transformers
connected at the voltage level above. The voltage control scheme of a 33/11kV transformer will have
a narrow bandwidth and long time delay. This ensures that the 132/33kV transformers have time to
correct a system wide voltage change before a local voltage excursion is corrected, avoiding
unnecessary tap operation.
Line Drop Compensation can be used to regulate for a constant voltage to be maintained at some
point on the system external to or distant from the location where a voltage regulator is located. The
principle by which this is accomplished is shown in Figure 2-2.
SUBSTATION /
SOURCE
The voltage regulator maintains the voltage E2 constant. If it were possible to supply the regulator with
pilot wires so that it could measure the voltage at the load centre, the regulator could adjust the
excitation of the generator to maintain E2 constant. Since in actual practice it is impractical to use pilot
wires, the regulator boosts the bus voltage E1, and the two components XI and RI are subtracted from
it artificially by the compensation. The resultant voltage E2 is then supplied to the regulator. If the
components XI and RI are proportioned to and in phase with the corresponding values of line
reactance and resistance voltage drops, the regulator controls the voltage as if it were connected by
pilot wires to the load centre.
In general, since the reactance component XI of the line predominates, it is necessary to compensate
mainly for this component of the line drop.
3. CAPACITORS
Suitably sized shunt capacitor banks can achieve the following benefits when installed in distribution
networks for power factor correction:
Increase in loading capacity of the primary feeders where the loading is restricted by either
voltage drop limits or conductor thermal current rating
Increase in loading capacity of all system components upstream from the capacitor bank
location
Reduction in load losses in all system components upstream from the capacitor bank location
Shunt capacitors used for reactive compensation will inject VArs at the point of connection, reducing
VAr flow and hence improve capacity utilisation, voltage profiles and reduce losses. In an ideal
scenario the objective of installing capacitor banks would be to maintain the power factor as close to
unity at all times. However, as the feeder or substation demand varies, so will the power factor.
The optimum size and location of the reactive compensation is usually determined through network
studies. The ideal solution would be to install power factor correction equipment at all load points,
making the consumer responsible for the power factor of their load.
Installing larger capacitor banks at primary substation 11kV busbars will reduce the VAr flow to the
substation but will not compensate for the VAr flow along the 11kV distribution feeders.
The target power factor for the majority of power factor correction schemes is 0.95 lagging. The total
capacitive compensation requirement is the difference in VArs between the load at the existing power
factor and the same MW load at the target power factor of 0.95. A multiplication factor can be derived
by which the peak MW load is multiplied to calculate the total amount of reactive compensation
required:
For example: to compensate a 3MW load @ 0.75 pf to the desired 0.95 pf requires 1.65MVAr (i.e. 3 x
0.55)
New primary substations should have capacitors connected to the 11kV busbars as standard. As a
rule of thumb the capacity of the reactive compensation should be within the range of 10 – 30% of the
substation capacity.
The most satisfactory method of determining the kW loading on a feeder is by taking actual
measurements. For new lines, the approximate values for the loading can be estimated from the load
forecasts. Accurate profiles on kW and kVAr loading on a feeder can also be established with help of
load flow analysis software.
The loading on most feeders is expected to vary significantly between the off-peak loading and the
peak loading. As a result, a higher level of compensation would be required during the peak loading
hours than would be required during the period of minimum loading. To meet this varying reactive
power compensation requirement, a combination of switched and unswitched capacitor banks is often
used.
The unswitched capacitor banks should be rated to provide the required reactive power capacity
during off-peak hours. The rating for switched capacitors is determined on the basis of additional
reactive power requirements during the peak-load hours.
The initial uncorrected power factor angle for a feeder, i.e., the phase angle by which the feeder
current lags the feeder voltage, can best be determined by actual measurements on the feeder.
On feeders where the majority of the load is expected to be incandescent lights, the uncorrected
power factor will be between 0.9 and 0.95 (power factor angle of 25° to 18°). For feeders serving a
higher percentage of motor loads (for example networks with a high proportion of air conditioning
load), a power factor of 0.85 to 0.9 is expected.
The value to which the power factor of a distribution system should be corrected is determined by
economic considerations; by weighing the value of economic benefits achieved by the improved
power factor against the costs associated with capacitor bank installation. The most economic value
for the power factor will be the one which yields the maximum economic benefits after all the costs incurred
for the power factor improvement have been subtracted.
The desired power factor angle is often set to the range of 0.95 – unity.
The economic value for each of the benefits and the costs of capacitor installations are reviewed in
the following section.
The circuit loading of a distribution feeder is limited by either of the following two factors:
In general, the loading on rural feeders serving loads spread over wide geographic areas is limited by
the allowable voltage drop. Feeders serving areas with more concentrated loads within urban
networks are generally limited by the thermal or economic load rating of the feeder.
Once the loading limit for the feeder is reached, additional expenditure will be required to reduce feeder
load by undertaking one of the following tasks:
Alternatively, if the system power factor can be improved, an increase in allowable feeder loading can
be achieved and the investment in network reinforcement or upgrades can be deferred. The impact
of the power factor improvements on the feeder voltage drops and the feeder thermal rating are
discussed below.
The voltage drop per phase in a three phase circuit with a specified value of resistance and reactance
is determined with help of the following equation:
Where:
kVA = three-phase loading of the circuit
R = resistance of the circuit per phase (ohms)
X = reactance of the circuit per phase (ohms)
= power angle
The magnitude of voltage drop caused by per unit reactive power flow on a feeder compared to the
magnitude of voltage drop caused by per unit real power flow can be expressed by the following
equation
For typical overhead feeders with conductor sizes of 120 mm 2 AAAC, the X/R ratio is of the order of
1.4, therefore for every 100 kVar of reactive power that is prevented from flowing in the feeder by
improving the power factor locally, 140 kW of additional loading capacity will be freed up. In practice,
once the power factor is improved to a value of 0.98 to 0.99, the voltage drop no longer remains the
limiting factor on feeder loadings and the thermal current rating becomes the limiting factor.
For those feeders where the kiloWatt loading is restricted by the thermal current rating, power factor
improvement results in a reduction in the feeder current, thus freeing up additional kiloWatt capacity.
The percentage increase in the feeder kiloWatt capacity is given by the equation:
pf 2 pf1
% kW Capacity increase x100
pf 2
Where:
pf2 = power factor after correction
pf1 = uncorrected power factor
An improvement in power factor from 0.9 to 0.95, for example, will result in a 5.6% increase in the
feeder kilowatt capacity.

Optimum Power Factor =

S
Where:
C = Cost of installed capacitors per kVAr
S = Incremental cost of system upgrades per kW from the point of capacitor bank location up
to and including the generating station.
Assuming, C = $100, and S = $10, the optimum power factor will be = 99.5%, which means that for the
assumed values of system costs, a power factor correction of up to 99.5% can be justified.
For lightly loaded feeders, the reduction in reactive power flow resulting from power factor
improvement, and the resulting increase in feeder loading capacity, cannot be considered an
economic benefit. The reduced system loadings will, however, result in a reduction in the magnitude
of system losses, which should also be considered during the economic evaluation.
The system losses are directly proportional to the square of the current flow, and the current is
inversely proportional to the power factor. The percentage reduction in losses due to power factor
improvement is given by the formula.

To demonstrate the extent of savings, an improvement in power factor from 0.85 to 1.0 will help
reduce the system losses by 27.75%.
Assuming suitable values of load factors for the feeder, the present worth of the savings in energy can
be calculated and considered for the economic evaluation.
To reduce the reactive power flow in an ideal distribution system to zero, the capacitor banks should
be at every load location that consumes reactive power. To adopt this approach would require the
installation of countless small capacitor banks which would be neither practical nor economically
justifiable.
A number of commercially available computer programs are available that can be used to optimize
capacitor size and location, but the following heuristic approach is entirely adequate in most practical
situations:
Typically on each of the distribution feeders, one switched capacitor bank and one or two unswitched
capacitor banks can be justified.
To achieve the maximum loss reduction, the most economical location for the installation of a
capacitor bank on a primary feeder is that location where the amount of kVar flow (before application
of the capacitor bank) is equal to one half of the kVar rating of the capacitor bank. This assumes that
the loading on the feeder and the feeder conductor size are the same throughout its entire length.
To achieve the maximum voltage improvement benefit, the capacitor banks need to be located at the
point of lowest voltage, which on a radial network will be at the remote end of the feeder.
As a compromise, the capacitor banks are often located beyond the most economic location for loss
reduction, at a distance from the substation that is approximately equal to 2/3 of the length of the
feeder.
If shunt capacitors for a feeder were to be rated based on the reactive power compensation required
during peak loading hours, they would over-compensate for the feeder during light loading hours
causing the following problems:
Instability of generation.
To avoid the above problems, part of the shunt capacitor capacity is required to be switched off
automatically during light loading conditions. Any of the following parameters can be employed as the
trigger for switching of capacitor banks:
time clock
feeder voltage
A time clock switch is the simplest and least expensive device for the switching of capacitors and
where the load cycle on a feeder follows a consistent pattern, it may be successfully employed for
initiating switching of the capacitor banks. Care must be taken to ensure that overvoltages do not
occur during periods of abnormal network operation as a result of the timed switching process.
A contact making voltmeter switch may be employed as the control trigger on feeders with
unpredictable loading patterns. Where this type of control is employed, the switch-off point should be
carefully selected in relation to the voltage rise caused by the switch-on point, to avoid the a
possibility of an oscillating on/off cycle.
Capacitor switching in response to reactive power measurement would result in maximum benefits
where the primary function of the capacitor banks is to reduce circuit loading in thermally limited
distribution feeders or reduce system losses.
F. LOAD ASSESSMENT
Load Assessment
1. INTRODUCTION
The distribution system must be capable of meeting the maximum demand conditions. Hence, the
planning of distribution networks should be carried out for peak demand conditions so that the
technical viability of alternative schemes can be confirmed.
Diversity should be considered when assessing groups of load to prevent over investment. For
example the measured maximum demand on a 33/11kV substation will in most cases be lower than
the summation of the individual 11kV feeder maximum demands due to diversity.
2. DEFINITIONS
The annual Load Factor is defined as the relationship between a consumer's average demand and his
maximum demand over the period of one year and is given by:
Thus if the maximum demand and the Load Factor are known then the average load can be
calculated. This average load is the load which, when present for the whole duration of the defined
period, results in the same energy as that supplied by the actual varying load for the same period.
Load duration curves are a convenient way of assessing demand as a function of time and are usually
produced on an annual basis by reordering all 8760 hourly demands in the year from highest to
lowest. The LDC curve shows the capacity utilization requirements for each increment of load. The
height of each slice is a measure of capacity, and the width of each slice is a measure of the
utilization rate or capacity factor. A typical load duration curve is shown in Figure 2-1.

Where N-1 Capacity refers to the remaining capacity after the loss of a single circuit or transformer.
This is the relationship between the average demand of a group of consumers and their maximum
demand as a whole. It is defined by:
The ADLF can be different from the LF even if all consumers within a group have the same LF. This
is because the maximum demand of a group of consumers is usually less than the sum of their
maximum demands, whereas their total energy consumed is equal to the sum of their individual
consumptions plus losses.
Consumer’s maximum demands are unlikely to occur at exactly the same time, thus reducing the
value of the group maximum demand. The ratio of the total maximum demand as a group to the sum
of the maximum demands of the individual consumers is called their diversity.
The relationship LF = ADLF x Diversity is true because the consumers energy consumption is
additive. Note that diversity applies to a group of consumers of the same type, i.e. for consumers
which have a similar load pattern.
The CADLF is the relationship between the average demand of a group of consumers and their
maximum demand at time of system (or feeder) peak. This implies that there are a number of
consumer groups, each with their own load pattern, connected to the system (or feeder). The CADLF
will be different if the time of system peak and the time of the consumer groups maximum demand
does not coincide. The relationship ADLF=CADLF*Coincidence is valid if Coincidence is defined as:
The CADLF is the appropriate load factor to use to relate total energy consumption to the use of
system resources and capacity.
3. LOAD CURVES
After carrying out numerous load surveys, experience has shown that for a given class of consumer
their daily load curve is consistently similar.
Whilst the daily load factor of consumers over a wide area can be similar, their annual load factor will
be very much dependent on local conditions, predominantly climatic. Also holiday periods and local
festivals will influence the peak demand and hence the load factor.
Figure 3-1shows typical daily load curves for two consumer categories for a general system. The
Weekly Load Factors were calculating assuming 5 weekdays, one Friday and one Saturday per week.
The Loss Load Factors were calculated on a similar basis, using the actual load curves, not the
empirical formula.

Figure 4-1 gives an overview of the connection process for new loads at 11kV.
Demands between 200 – 1000kVA should be supplied at 11kV. A single 11/0.4kV transformer is
sufficient to meet the security of supply standard.
Demands between 1000 – 8000kVA should typically be supplied at 11kV; however, a 33kV supply
may be considered depending on the size and type of the load and the availability of 11kV network.
For example, a pumping station with large motor loads may require a 33kV connection due to the
voltage drop caused by high motor starting currents. It is recommended that an alternative source of
supply available within 3 hours i.e. open ring 11kV network design.
Demands greater than 8000kVA require an alternative source of supply to be available within 15
minutes to meet the security of supply standard. This can be achieved using at least two dedicated
circuits running in parallel with the appropriate protection scheme or as an open ring with an auto-
close scheme. Both 11kV and 33kV options should be considered.
Some customers may request, at their own cost, a level of network security above the normal security
standard.
5. MOTOR CONNECTIONS
When designing a connection for a large motor load, such as a water pumping station, the voltage
step change during motor starting should be studied and all motors connected at 11 kV and above
should be modelled explicitly. The connection of a large group of LV motors that will have a
combined effect on the network should also be studied.
A 2.5MVA direct-on-line induction motor is connected to an 11kV busbar with a source impedance of
0.036 + j0.81 ohms (i.e. 11kV Fault level = 149MVA).
The motor’s starting current is 4 x full load current (FLC) i.e. 10MVA @0.3 pf
11kV
In this example the voltage dip is greater than the recommended 3% limit stated in the standards, and
therefore alternative motor starting such as a variable speed drive or connection at a higher voltage
would need to be considered. For very infrequent starting, it may be acceptable to relax the limits to
around 6 %.
To evaluate the losses and voltage drops precisely a load flow calculation must be performed,
considering the size and location of each individual load point. It is sometimes necessary to estimate
the losses and voltage drops for typical feeder arrangements, without knowing the precise topology of
the feeder or circuit. This type of generic assessment is used, for example, for conductor
optimisation. In this case the maximum demand at the feeder sending end and the total length may
be known. Because the distribution of the load along the feeder length affects the loss and volt-drop
calculations it is necessary to take account of this affect.
The Load Distribution Factor (LDF) technique described in the following sections offers a simple, but
effective method of adjusting the loss and volt-drop calculations based on the feeder initial load to
take account of the load distribution along the feeder. Two Load Distribution Factors are required,
one for loss calculations and one for volt-drop calculations. These are be referred to as LDFLosses and
LDFV-drop respectively.
Information about the distributed nature of the load is sometimes difficult to quantify. Therefore, two
empirical equations were developed which link the number of load points to the load distribution
factor. These formulae are the result of statistical analysis of a number of feeders, within some
practical limits.

A factor can be derived by which to multiply the feeder length in the volt-drop calculation to allow for
the distribution of the load, thus obtaining the correct level of voltage drop when using the sending
end current. This is known as the Load Distribution Factor technique which offers an easy, but
effective, method of adjusting the loss and volt-drop calculations based on the feeder initial load to
take account of the load distribution.
Z* = Impedance per unit Length, allowing for power factor of the load. =
(R cos + X sin ) per km
The calculation of this factor considers the number of load points on the feeder, the distance between
load points and a range of feeder maximum loads. This load distribution factor can be calculated for
each feeder using the data obtained from a load flow study.
Information about the distributed nature of the load is sometimes difficult to quantify. Therefore, an
empirical equation has been developed which link the number of load points to the load distribution
factor. These are the result of statistical analysis of a number of feeders, within some practical limits.
Statistical considerations have shown a link between the number of load points and their distribution
on a real circuit or feeder. A small number of load points tend to be more concentrated towards the
end of the feeder. The more points, the more uniformly distributed the load tends to be.
The relationship between the number of points and the load distribution factors was determined as
follows:

The empirical LDFV-Drop = 2n + n+ 1
4n2
For example a feeder with 10 load points would have a Load Distribution Factor of 0.53 for voltage
drop calculation purposes.
For a uniformly distributed load, the load distribution factor (Volt Drop) becomes:
LDFV-Drop = 1/2
It is sometimes necessary to estimate the losses on typical feeder arrangements, without knowing the
precise topology of the feeder or circuit. In this case the maximum demand at the feeder sending end
and the total length may be known. Because the distribution of the load along the feeder length
affects the loss calculations it is necessary to take account of this affect.
A factor can be derived by which to multiply the feeder length in the loss calculation to allow for the
distribution of the load, thus obtaining the correct level of losses when using the sending end current,
Io. The loss calculation then becomes
kWLoss I 02 R L LDFLosses
Where: R = Resistance per km.
The calculation of this factor considers the number of load points on the feeder, the distance between
load points and a range of feeder maximum loads. This distribution factor can be calculated for each
feeder using the data obtained from a load flow study.
The relationship between the number of points and the load distribution factors was determined as
follows:
For example a feeder with 10 load points would have a Load Distribution Factor of 0.39 for losses
calculation purposes.
For a uniformly distributed load, the load distribution factor (losses) becomes:
LDFLosses = 1/3
Through demand side management, KPLC can defer or avoid network reinforcement. This can be a
good solution to network constraints.
Load management facilities should be maintained (e.g. Mains’ Signalling), and should be considered
when network performance is constrained by growing demand.
Demand side management should evolve from rolling load shedding towards initiatives to modify
customer electricity demand and usage patterns. Considerations can be given to the following
options:
To reduce the overall demand, customers may be involved in the process of demand control. This
could be implemented by a review of the tariff structure, and the development of possible financial
reward for customers who reduce their energy usage or increase their efficiency.
KPLC can also encourage the use of embedded generation systems to reduce the amount of
electricity required from the distribution network.
Compensation should be considered for major customers who alter their load patterns at times of
peak system demand, e.g. with hot water control and air conditioning control. This can be done by
KPLC sending mains signals to customer side and switching on and off nominated devices according
to on/off peak power usage.
A load shedding program enables utilities to reduce the network loading under conditions where
network of generation capacity is not sufficient to meet demand. The main benefits of this program for
the distribution company are deferment of network augmentations and avoiding forced outages under
emergency conditions.
The following guidelines apply to ideal load shedding schemes, and would be adopted in Kenya
following sufficient system upgrades such that the requirement for rolling blackouts can be eliminated.
Load shedding programs should be targeted such that during abnormal system conditions, disruption
is minimised for the majority of customers. This can be achieved by load shedding agreements with
customers to switch off non-essential demand as required by KPLC.
The rate at which customers should be compensated for their participation in such a scheme
determined such that it is high enough to both compensate their financial losses and to attract
customers to sign the load-shedding contract. It has to be justified economically to ensure the benefit
of a load shedding scheme to KPLC when compared to traditional network reinforcement. It should
be noted that the probability of outages is often required by customers to enable them to justify the
cost/benefit of joining a load shedding program.
The compensation rate needs to reflect both the financial losses of customers and the benefit of
deferring network expansion in terms of saving capital expenditure. The rate should therefore be
capped by the unit cost of network augmentation. In determining the revenue losses of customer
during outages, the value of lost load (VoLL) should be utilised.
The expected energy not supplied to customers is an average value over historical outage data rather
than the actual energy loss in a specific event. It is rated to outage rates for a particular substation,
and the demand growth over the years.
To avoid the risk of forced outages, a minimum amount of sheddable load should be determined for
each individual substation. If the sheddable load from customers is lower than that minimum amount
required, the network is still exposed to emergency contingency shedding.
Usually contracts between KPLC and customers should have a fixed period. As the demand grows
over time, the need and benefit of network augmentation increases and the option of demand
management becomes less economic. The compensation rate set in the contract should therefore be
the minimum of the predicted rates over the contract life.
Controlling power factor is a way to reduce the requirement for total network capability. This involves:
Power factor penalties to encourage customers to implement the power factor in their
facilities.
KPLC could also provide technical advice and support for customers who have problems with poor
power factor.
The use of standby generation can avoid the requirement for initial load shedding in the event of a
contingency for plant operating above the ‘first circuit outage’ security criterion, improving the network
reliability to customers. It allows assets to be loaded to higher levels without increasing risk to
security of supply. Standby generation can therefore be a viable capital deferment option.
Standby generation should be reliable as it will need to be called upon in a short period of time.
KPLC can consider inclusion of standby generation into a contract with customers to provide support
to the network in emergencies, especially for rural areas. The contract will be similar to the sheddable
load contract.
Voltage reduction can flatten the peak of electricity usage during system emergency. The power
consumption of resistive load (incandescent lamps, water heaters, etc) can be effectively reduced by
this procedure. With the concern of load factor in the network and network capability, this technique
should be given consideration in future network planning.
The limit of voltage reduction should be capped to the maximum allowable voltage drop required by
regulation rules and codes, i.e. the reduction should be limited to 6% on 11kV systems. Considering
the high utilisation of network, a lower drop of 3% may be more practical. With this level of reduction,
the power consumption can be reduced about 10% in resistive load devices. When conducting
voltage reduction at area substations, the percentage voltage reduction should be less, as even a 3%
drop will cause the voltage at the LV network to fall out of the allowable range.
The main issue in reducing voltage is to make sure the customers connected to the network are not
adversely affected by this operation.
Reserve capacity refers to setting up contracts with customers to improve supply reliability at their
premises. This scheme utilises an automatic load switch to transfer customer demand to a back-up
feeder when there is fault on the primary one. The customers would need to pay for this reserve
capacity in accordance with the availability of the reserve, and the capital cost contribution involved.
The advantage of this scheme is that the reliability of network may be improved at the customer’s
expense if the switch is between two feeders of different area substations. However, as the switch
arrangement resides at the customers’ site, there may be difficulty in future reconfiguration to balance
feeder loading.
G. LOSSES
Losses
1. INTRODUCTION
The energy and power losses that occur in the process of supplying electricity to consumers, within
transmission and distribution systems can be classified into technical and non-technical losses:
Technical losses are caused by energy dissipated in the conductors and equipment used for
transmission, transformation, sub-transmission and distribution of power. These are inherent
in the system and can be reduced to an optimum level.
Non-technical losses include pilferage, defective meters and errors in meter readings.
The main factors that contribute to high technical losses are the use of small cross sectional area
conductors, unbalanced loads, sub standard connections / joints, poor power factors and voltages
below the design criteria.
Overloaded transformers can result in high copper (variable) losses whilst underloaded transformers
can result in high iron (fixed) losses. The optimum loading of a transformer should take both the
copper and iron losses into consideration.
Reduction of technical losses will result in an improvement in better voltage quality to the consumers.
The optimal losses level of a distribution network depends on many factors including:
Long-run marginal cost of capacity and energy (cost of power and energy losses)
Discount rate
Existing loading
These factors affect the optimal specification and design of the components used in distribution
system. The optimal losses level of a distribution network will be the accumulated optimal losses
levels of these components. Experience elsewhere shows that the optimal total power losses in a
distribution network (primary and secondary distribution) should be 6% to 12%.
The total amount of technical losses in a network is the sum of the fixed losses and the variable
losses.
Fixed losses are losses that are always present regardless of the load on the network. The
sources of fixed losses on a distribution network are generally the iron losses in transformers
or reactors. The value of these can be found in the manufacturer’s data sheets.
Variable losses (also known as copper losses) are the result of current flowing in the network
and equal to I2R where ‘I’ is the current flowing through the network and ‘R’ is the resistance
in the network.
The variable power losses in a distribution network are usually estimated from a load flow study at
peak demand, with use of the loss load factor to calculate energy losses, although simple
spreadsheet calculations can also be used for individual circuits. Monitoring of sample network
sections using meters is recommended, however, to fully confirm the level of technical losses – it can
also provide detail of non-technical losses.
The Loss Load Factor (LLF) relates the annual energy losses to the peak power losses as follows:
Annual Variable Losses (kWh) = Loss Load Factor x Peak Variable Losses (kW) x 8760
The loss load factor can be estimated from the load factor using the following empirical formulae:
The losses within individual feeder arrangements can be calculated from a load distribution factor.
Section 6.2 gives details of how to calculate feeder losses from load distribution factors.
Once the technical criteria of a network have been met (e.g. capacity, security of supply, voltage etc.)
the next step is to consider the most economical design based on the whole life cost of the project.
When selecting the size of conductors for distribution lines, the following factors should be
considered:
Voltage levels
Construction cost
Cost of losses
The lifetime cost of a new circuit takes into consideration the initial capital cost and the annual cost of
losses. It may therefore be more economical over the life of a circuit to install a larger conductor even
though the initial investment is higher due to the reduced cost of losses.
A Net Present Value (NPV) calculation is required to calculate the whole life cost of a conductor. An
example calculation for a 5 year period is shown in (in constant money terms).
Further guidance on calculating the whole life cost when selecting a conductor size is given in the
economic planning section
Transformer losses consist of two components, non load losses (or iron losses) and load losses
(copper losses).
Iron losses are the result of eddy currents in the iron core and are dependent on the material used to
manufacture the core. These losses are independent of the current passing through the transformer
and are therefore fixed.
Copper losses are due to current passing through the windings and are equal to I2R. These are
variable losses and are dependent on the load supplied by the transformer.
For each transformer specification there is an optimum capital cost to be paid in relation to the amount
of transformer losses. This calculation is usually included in the tendering process to purchase new
transformers and is done by capitalising the cost of losses to enables the cost of transformers offered
by different manufacturers to be compared over the expected lifetime of the transformer and not just
the initial capital cost.
Several underloaded transformers will result in increased losses compared with the same load
supplied by fewer transformers due to the increased iron loss. Overloaded transformers will increase
losses due to high copper losses.
As a rule of thumb, the economical loading of 11/0.4kV distribution transformers is typically 70 - 80%;
however, this will vary depending on the load factor and the transformer specification.
33/11kV transformers are typically loaded to 50% of the nameplate rating during system normal in
order to comply with the N-1 security of standards. Depending on the load factor and transformer
specification, this may be lower than the optimum load level to minimise losses; however the trade off
is increased network security and therefore considered acceptable.
H. LOSS REDUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
Losses within a system can be broadly defined as the energy input less the energy output. They are
inherent in any electrical network and can be viewed as the ‘cost’ of delivering power. Like any other
business cost, losses must be managed to appropriate levels.
Wasted energy
Larger equipment sizes needed, not just for distribution, but also for the transmission and
generation network.
It is therefore vital for KPLC planners to both understand what losses they have on their system and
how they might keep these to within manageable levels.
The energy and power losses that occur in the process of supplying electricity to consumers within
transmission and distribution systems can be classified into technical and non-technical losses.
Technical losses are caused by energy dissipated in the conductors and equipment used for
transmission and distribution of power. They are generally categorised as copper (variable) or iron
(fixed) losses. Copper losses are caused by the heating effect of electric current as it passes through
circuit or transformer winding resistance and are proportional to the square of the load. This is an
important consideration as doubling the power flow will cause the losses to quadruple. Iron losses
are those caused by the induction of eddy currents in the cores of transformers and reactors. They
are a function of the composition, construction, age of the equipment, and voltage, and are constant
with typical loading. These losses will always be present when the equipment is energised.
The main factors that contribute to high technical losses are the use of small cross-sectional area (or
overloaded) conductors, overloaded transformers, unbalanced loads, poor installation practice and
maintenance including connection points and joints, poor power factors, and voltages below the
design criteria.
Non-technical losses include theft, defective meters, errors in meter readings, and poor billing
systems. These losses typically arise out of problems on the commercial management side of the
network.
Loss reduction programmes are generally self-financing even over a relatively short period of time.
The reduction in technical and non-technical losses, plus the improvement in voltage quality to the
consumer means that there are cost savings in both energy and capacity costs.
The Long Run Marginal Cost (LRMC) is the cost of generating, transmitting, and distributing one
kilowatt of power at system peak to a consumer fed at a specific voltage level. By analysis of the
LRMC and the associated energy costs it is possible to calculate the benefit that would occur by a
reduction of losses at a particular voltage level.
Figure 2-1 shows the typical annual benefit for loss reductions calculated for the Kenyan system and
the savings this results in over a given time period.
This shows an obvious benefit from reducing the losses on the secondary distribution system, which
justify the expense in doing so.
There are a number of measures that can be undertaken to tackle each of the causes of technical
losses, although they do vary in cost and effectiveness.
• Transformer losses
• Phase imbalance
Overloaded and long feeders are of concern throughout Kenya both on the 11 kV and 33 kV
networks. Losses in overloaded LV conductors are also a major problem. Conductors that are too
small for the electrical loads being transmitted are significant causes of electrical energy losses.
These losses are variable losses, resulting from relatively high conductor resistances in relation to the
current being passed.
It is not possible to eliminate these losses entirely but there is an optimum economic level of losses,
where spending to allocate more resources to improve a network matches the reduction in generation
costs.
Ensuring that future installations keep losses to a minimum is part of the function of a planning
department and planners should establish a series of parameters to which designers should adhere.
Elsewhere in the Planning and Design documents, maximum feeder lengths have been defined and
KPLC planners should maintain a consistent design standard across the system. This would avoid
future voltage problems and the high losses associated with unregulated system expansion.
Service drops can also be a major source of losses. Conductor sizes should be appropriately
standardised and connections at the supply and receiving ends of the service drops should be
correctly made. Detailed calculations on a case-by-case basis will establish the optimum
rehabilitation of existing equipment but as a service target, without any financial optimisation, a
maximum voltage drop at consumers’ terminal of 6% should be considered.
A transformer whose kVA rating is too large for the load being supplied will give high fixed losses.
Conversely, a transformer that is overloaded will have high variable losses. It is important therefore to
match a transformer to the load that it is supplying, taking account of any immediate load growth that
is likely to be experienced.
Transformer designs are available that minimise both variable and fixed transformer losses. Although
the capital cost of these transformers is higher than that of standard distribution transformers, if loss
evaluation factors are applied to the procurement process, adding the estimated lifetime cost of
losses to the transformer price, lower loss transformer designs can become cost effective. The long
run marginal cost (LRMC) of losses at the appropriate voltage level should be used.
As a rough guide it is considered that 11/0.4 kV transformers should be loaded to between 70%-80%
of their ratings, based on economic loading. This will depend on load factor, transformer
specification, and the future growth expectations. 33/11 kV transformers will typically be loaded to
50% of their rating during normal operating conditions dependant on security of supply
considerations.
Increasing transformer loading lowers output voltage and as a short-term measure it is often possible
to delay replacing equipment downstream of a transformer by changing transformer taps.
Losses can be reduced by replacing relatively high-loss older distribution transformers with low-loss
equivalents, and by specifying low-loss transformers when constructing new sections of network. In
addition, the practice of replacing the windings of old distribution transformers can increase losses
significantly, as replacement transformer windings typically have a greater contribution to losses than
the original windings fitted by the manufacturer.
High impedance faults are a relatively rare problem although this does depend significantly on the
inspection and maintenance practices of the distribution department. They occur when a fault
develops in such a way that it presents a relatively high impedance load to the network. This looks to
the distribution system like an ordinary load and so does not trigger any protection. Some example
high impedance faults include:
• Bird nesting
• Insulator breakages
• Tracking on insulators
As well as causing additional unnecessary losses, there is an obvious safety concern with many high
impedance faults.
As it can be quite difficult to detect these faults through the protection system, it is better to be
proactive and attempt to prevent these from occurring in the first place. This can involve:
• Ensuring that actual construction and maintenance meets the required standards
Three phase systems operate most effectively when the currents carried by each of the phases are
approximately equal. An imbalance can lead to one phase being overloaded resulting in high losses
while the remaining two phases are underutilised. Since losses are proportional to current squared,
unbalanced phases lead to increased overall losses.
Phase balance should be checked at the appropriate supply points, which can be a transformer, a line
tee-off or from a main bulk supply point. As loads change their characteristics and consumer mix
changes, it is recommended that KPLC regularly review phase balance and revise connections as
appropriate.
As industrial loads are generally higher during the working day, and domestic loads reach their peaks
during the evenings, some care is needed when carrying out the balancing to ensure that loads are
evenly balanced over the day and not just at one time. Data loggers can assist in determining the
degree of phase imbalance by continuously recording loads and voltages for later analysis.
Phase balancing is a low investment option for loss reduction that produces a high return. It should
therefore be one of the first loss reduction measures to be assessed and implemented.
Due to high summer temperatures there can be increased reactive power flows and power factor
problems on the KPLC network. The network presently operates without significant power factor
correction.
The flow of reactive power (VAr) in transmission and distribution networks contributes to the
magnitude of the current and hence to a number of undesirable problems. Excessive VAr flow will
lead to voltage regulation issues and excessive losses.
Also as a result of poor power factor (and hence excessive flow of reactive power), the need for
capital expenditure is brought forward. System reinforcements occur earlier and are more extensive,
so there are obvious benefits to be gained from improving the system power factor.
The ideal solution would be to install power factor correction equipment at all load points, making the
consumer responsible for the power factor of their load. From experience this is not a fully achievable
solution, and is one that requires a high level of monitoring. At distribution voltage levels, fully
variable reactive power devices which can adjust the capacitance to match the variable load at any
time are prohibitively expensive. Combination capacitor banks comprising a fixed and switched
component(s) are usually the most effective compromise solution.
Installation of line-connected capacitor banks, distributed along the medium voltage system, offers
another effective solution, leading to considerable savings in the long run. By the nature of these
devices and their positioning, a relatively large number of units will be required. Routine maintenance
and regular inspections will ensure a long life of the distributed capacitor banks.
By installing larger capacitor banks at the medium voltage busbars at the primary substations the
number units required can be reduced. Also, substations tend to be fairly controlled environments
An alternative approach is to control the reactive power demand on the system through tariff
incentives, encouraging users to maintain a reasonable power factor. In many utilities the penalty for
exceeding the power factor limit (i.e. power factor below a set value, typically 0.9) is not harsh enough
to discourage loads with poor power factors. Unless reactive power metering is installed at the load
site, or spot checks are carried out on a regular basis, these infringements may not be picked up at
all.
In order to manage losses on a long-term basis, a system of adequate system planning and
maintenance must be implemented. If plant and equipment maintenance falls below a given
standard, then the network will gradually deteriorate to the point where any careful planning will be
ineffective. Under these circumstances losses will increase to the point where they have a
disproportionate effect on the Kenyan network as a whole.
It is necessary to join overhead line conductors when the lines are being strung initially (and
conductors are not long enough for the sections being strung), after conductors have broken, and
when making connections. Good jointing can be introduced for a fairly modest outlay and should
therefore be given a high priority.
To reduce losses to a minimum, twisted and wrap around connections should be avoided. Corrosion
of the conductor strands and a gradual relaxation of the metals cause contact resistance to increase,
eventually to a point where they fail thermally.
Causes of non-technical losses are primarily related to human error or lack of adequate management
procedures.
• Defective meters
• Lack of metering
• Theft
2.3.1 Metering
It is recognised by KPLC that customer metering (and energy metering in general) is inadequate, and
addressing this issue is key to both accurately calculating network losses and implementing a
targeted programme aimed at reducing them.
There are many ways of causing a meter to record lower values of consumed energy other than
ageing. Introducing foreign bodies to jam the disc of induction disc meters can cause them to under-
read the energy consumed whilst changing connections to a meter or by-passing the meter entirely
would significantly affect the meter readings.
Meters should be sealed as this provides an additional barrier to those trying to tamper with the meter.
A further technique that assists in identifying meter interference is to reward meter readers when they
report tampering. This identification and reward must be supported by adequate penalties for those
found committing fraud, otherwise the reward itself could become a source of fraud.
Examining monthly billings will help identify those meters that have been by-passed whilst physical
checks are required to identify other types of tampering.
As energy meters are the basis upon which KPLC derives its income (and controls electricity usage) a
regular and ongoing meter installation, replacement and testing programme should be initiated.
Apart from any recently installed meters, it is likely that any pre-existing meters will need to be
periodically checked for accuracy, which can be brought about by aging, by operating the meter
outside its design parameters and by faulty installation. Consumers can also interfere with energy
meters to promote inaccurate (lower) meter readings.
It is useful to look at the level of losses in other comparable countries as well as international
averages. These are given in Figure 2-2.
Based on international experience, it is possible to benchmark these loss levels, in order to identify
what sort of actions may be required with regard to the system losses. These are outlined in Table
2-1.

Energy Efficiency: Optimisation of Electric Power Distribution Losses, World Bank 1982
Loss level
Category Actions
(% Sent Out)
Losses 10% to 15% Acceptable but attention Develop action plan to reduce losses
required within a given timescale
Losses > 30% Network in disrepair Likely that high level intervention
required
The economic justification means that a Loss Reduction programme is usually cost effective and can
be implemented fairly quickly. A Loss Reduction programme normally follows these steps:
It is possible to estimate typical losses based on models (generally only technical losses) but to be
able to understand what the actual losses are and where best to target loss reduction efforts, physical
measurements will need to be taken. Therefore the first steps of a loss reduction programme would
be to initiate changes to allow for better data collection, metering, and energy auditing.
• Systems and procedures developed and implemented to allow future energy auditing
It should be noted that KPLC is already underway with data collection and network model building
plans. Efforts to improve the consistency, quantity and quality of this data across Kenya would have
benefits for both the loss reduction effort but also to the overall system planning and
operations/maintenance of the network.
Another change that KPLC can implement immediately is to ensure that any new construction or
rehabilitation works, fully considers the economic impact of losses.
This economic consideration when sizing conductors and transformers should ensure that KPLC not
only minimise losses to an economic level, but also implement not the lowest construction cost
solution, but the lowest lifetime cost solution.
A number of standards have been proposed for KPLC to use on their system. If these standards are
followed, then losses can be generally kept within acceptable ranges. This means keeping:
Arguably the most cost effective way to reduce losses at the distribution level is to ensure that
maintenance and construction problems are corrected. As KPLC already employ the staff to
undertake this work, the additional costs should be minimal.
As discussed in the preceding sections, poor jointing practice and materials add unnecessary losses
to feeders, and can often lead to line failures. The first part of a loss reduction programme should
audit the maintenance procedures at the primary and secondary voltage levels and ensure that staff
are provided with the correct training and materials for jointing and condition assessment.
Another cost effective programme to implement is the rebalancing of the low voltage loads. A
relatively small team is required to survey, measure, and redistribute the LV loads equally over the
three phases. This can dramatically reduce the overall loading, and hence losses, of a given feeder.
