  1. RURAL ELECTRICITY ACCESS KENYA Project Concept and Introduction August, 2007 GREENPOWERKENYA

  2. OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONAL AREA IN KENYA Location*: • The projects are located in Central Province, at the Southern face of Mount Kenya (see map) • Accessible via Kianyaga town, a 3.0 hour car ride from Nairobi. Population and Demographics: • Total beneficiaries estimated at 50,000 people with an average of 5.0 persons per household; average population density at 550 per square-km. • 17 CBO’s with 1000 household membership identified with (see box in left-bottom corner) • Life expectation is relatively long at 65 years; no accurate data available on HIV status within the operational area. Project Sites Economics: • Small farmers with an average of 1 acres per household • Most households are within the tea- and coffee zone and produce tea, coffee, maze, beans, banana’s and hold cattle cows and chicken • Average income per household is 800-900 USD per year Representation of a 1,000 HH community Education: • 80-90% completed primary education • 50-70%completed secondary education 100 kW generation 200 HH village Connectivity: Transformer • Less than 4% of the households electrified • Telecommunication networks cover the area. • 50% has access to water for domestic usage Radius = 7km * Project locations include Kirinyaga District, Embu District

  3. PROJECT MISSIONS AND GOALS Create local governance mechanisms based on collaborative social- and economic values. Self - Governance Generate monetary assets (power plants, distribution systems and factories) which provide access to formal credit markets and centralize development initiatives to a local level. Hard Assets Elements for Sustained Development Manifest business- and management expertise to operate and maintain commercial enterprises. Social- and economic capacity building via scale-up initiatives. Technical Capability Create decentralized social investment opportunities (i.e. education facilities and infrastructure) through the control and isolation of fund channels which are presently inefficient (kerosene, candles, battery charging) Community Investments

  4. A THREE-PHASE APPROACH PHASE I: PILOT PHASE II: ROLL OUT PHASE III: ENHANCE Self - Governance Technical Capability Community Investments Goals / Milestones: • Filtered governance structure translates and expands itself through co-operative relations with succeeding CBO’s. • Cooperative of Independent power producer- and distributors • Agreement, community contribution and post-valued labor create sustainability and filter governance structures. • Independent Power producer- and distributor. • Cooperative supports expansion and replication. • Social investment committees support education, infrastructure, social welfare and health programs • Electricity cooperative • 2 MW generation plant • 10 100KW commercial platforms • Private grid extension. • Ten 100kW-1000 connection facilities. • 2 MW plant prime structures • Design of commercial platforms • 10 prime structures of 100kW generation facilities • One fully operational 100kW-1000 connection project. Hard Assets • In-house capacity to design, produce and install MW energy pilots. • Training and maintenance programs.
