The Energy & Power Systems group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.energy.frost.com/) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its first quarter analyst briefing on Opportunities in the Kenyan Electricity Industry on 27 February 2008 at 2 pm GMT/4 pm CAT.
As Africa’s demand for power continues to outstrip supply, more investment from independent power producers and governments is expected to boost the continent’s power generation and supply capacities. Kenya will be a key target for some of this funding.
This briefing will provide an analysis of the current state of Kenya’s power sector, including the major participants and investment opportunities. Frost & Sullivan’s predictions for the future development of the industry will also be given.
The discussion will benefit current and potential participants of the power generation, transmission and distribution sub-sectors, equipment suppliers, power industry consultants, investment companies and government officials. Participants will also be interested in the current and emerging trends that will be discussed and the forward projections given for the Kenyan power industry.
“The severe power shortages in Kenya have attracted the attention of international finance institutions,” notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Moses Duma. “The World Bank-sponsored energy sector recovery programme is expected to significantly reduce the power supply-demand gap through rehabilitating existing power equipment and possibly constructing additional capacity. These initiatives open up extensive opportunities for power producers, power equipment suppliers and other potential investors.”
