Kenya Power, a monopoly that rakes in more than Sh130 billion a year in revenues is broke. They are so broke that they want to open a garage to boost revenue

1x 400W Wind turbine @28,000 = 28,000
5x steel piping mast @1,000/metre = 5,000
2x 200Ah gel batteries @25,000= 50,000*
1x 60A charger controller @5,000 = 5,000
10x Cables @50/metre = 500

*I started with 100Ah battery
