Challenges In The Energy Sector 1. Generation Constraints: a. Over-reliance on Hydro-Power b. Over –Reliance on Fossil Fueled Plants c. Reliance on Independent Power Producers and High Energy Costs 2. Supply Constraints: a. Grid Size b. Quality of Transmission and Distribution Grid c. Cost to consumer is too high d. Inadequate supply vis a vis demand

KNEB as the Nuclear Energy Programme Implementing Organization (NEPIO)

 Official Government announcement to go nuclear, December, 2010  Formed and funded by the government to study and make policy and

strategy recommendations to the government with respect to each of the 19 infrastructure issues  Assume an oversight role to assure that the overall infrastructure

development is properly planned and executed

Kenya’s Legal Institution

 2010 Constitution, part 1 of the Fourth Schedule provides that the National Government shall be responsible for energy policy formulation including electricity and gas reticulation and energy regulation.  Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2004  The Energy Act, No. 12 of 2006, which is currently under review, includes ‘nuclear power’ within its definition of ‘energy’

Electric Grid 220 kV

The voltage rating of the transmission lines include 132kV, 220kV, 400kV and 500kV (HVDC).

132 kv 66 - 11kV

The existing Transmission network is composed of: 1,331km of 220kV 2,211km of 132kV •

Grid integration- transmission and distribution network covers about one third of the country and is concentrated along major urban and population centers with plans to upgrade the grid to enhance connectivity to the power users

Technical Requirements for Kenya’s Nuclear Reactor technology

The nuclear power plant will need to accommodate local external events including seismicity, flooding, wetlands, ecology and population density, heat sink temperature, condenser cooling water source and extent of water resources The power plant should be characteristically safe and not need external safety systems; the safety of the power plant must be obvious to both the public and the regulators. The power plant should ensure minimal environmental impact and be capable of operating at high thermal efficiencies allowing for use of waste heat for other commercial applications if desired.

Technical requirements for Kenya's Nuclear Reactor Technology

 The nuclear power plant should comply with regulations and standards which Kenya will establish  The power plant should have low radiation dose levels and minimal radioactive contamination  The power plant’s fuel cycle should provide the highest possible resistance to proliferation and not depend on reprocessing  The power plant should be designed with eventual decommissioning in mind; the sizing and design of the power plant’s systems should facilitate rapid disassembly, ease of decontamination and ease of disposal

Choice of Nuclear Reactor for Kenya Small modular reactors (SMR’S)  Kenya is interested in the SMR technology and will adopt SMR technology that will be proven.  This is due to the fact that Kenya’s national grid is small therefore looking at 300-900MW  Units of above 1000MW are too big for the current Kenyan grid, however power demand is expected to increase substantially. This will enhance consideration of above technologies for the future grid.  Power interconnection between Kenya and other neighboring systems will increase the system’s capability to accommodate a larger unit
