Cook using electricity, Energy CS Keter urges households

This country is full of jokes.
1. Kenya power still taking people in circles for new connections.
2. Most of the citizens struggle with food, and rent, where do they get disposable income to buy electronics, to use for the sole purpose of increasing electricity consumption?

This guy needs a hot slap.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter is urging households to consider using electricity to cook as demand for power continues to drop due to the restrictions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The CS said modern electrical appliances have technical modifications that are energy efficient, making them inexpensive to use for cooking.

“Households should also utilise electricity for cooking especially with the more advanced energy efficient cookers and other appliances available,” Mr Keter wrote in response to queries over fall in power demand.

MORE CONSUMPTION

The ministry of Energy, which has been deepening power connection in rural areas under the scheme to connect all households by 2022, says more demand will be key to reducing the overall unit cost of electricity.

Consumers are forced to pay for all electricity contracted for generation under the Power Purchase Agreements with energy producers, leaving the burden of unused power on households hooked to the electricity mains.



The ministry is also pushing for more consumption in the agricultural sector through use of irrigation machinery which can be deployed during off-peak hours to help utilise the spilling hydro energy, vented geothermal steam or wind power.

CLEAN COOK STOVES

The ministry’s Clean Cook stoves survey conducted last year, however, revealed that only three percent of households own an electric cooking appliance such as mixed LPG-electricity stove, electric coil stove and microwave.

“This is largely attributed to the high cost of the stoves (the survey reported an average retail price for the mixed-LPG stove at Sh28,920 and Sh39,250 for urban and rural users respectively) and the cost of electricity,” said the study.

The survey released in November 2019 indicated that Kenyan kitchens still largely run on wood fuel (charcoal and firewood), ranking top as the most commonly used primary cooking fuel with 75 percent of Kenyan households reportedly using it.

Kiraitu had a clear energy policy in his tenure but wakora wakakuja wakamess everything. Kibaki was the president! How I wish he was in power for 20 years !
 
Always use heat with a flame to cook your food , using non flame cooking devices like hot plates , microwaves , cold plates etc could be detrimental to your health

True heat is heat
but heat without a flame carries a lot of electromagnetic waves (radiation) unlike a flame
consistent exposure to low levels of radiation is not good for your health
many health experts know this but very few will admit it
