Let me dwell on this. In an ideal situation (I know Kenya is corrupt), all IPP are paid on the same metrics. For example:
-kshs 5/kW per month installed capacity + kshs2/kWh of supplied power.
Mote that the figures are for illustration purposes. I don't have actual figures.

So, a 100MW plant will receive kshs. 500,000 whether they produce or not.

Now suppose stations A and B both have the same 100MW capacity, but station A supplies only 10MWH while B supplies 500,000MWH within the same period.
A will be paid 500000 (fixed charge) + 20,000 for supply. Total 520000 for supplying 10mwh, that's at an average of 52 bob per unit.
Station B will paid 500k fixed plus 50m , total 50.5m to supply 500,000MWh, translating to around shs. 10.1 per unit.

That explains why two stations with the same capacity will be paid differently.

It also explains what a certain CS meant when he said that power costs can go down if we consume more.

So, its not a very bad idea buying an electric pump for irrigation. Petrol prices are killing my ka-project, diesel pump a little bit expensive for now

The president has welcomed the recommendations of the taskforce that establish a path towards the reduction of the cost of electricity by over 33% within four months.

Thus cost reduction will be achieved through the reduction of the consumer tarrifs from an average of KES 24 per kilowatt hour to KES 16 per Kilowatt hour

The devil is always in the details.
In today's papers wanasema it'll apply to those consuming more than 100 units p.m and who should not be on any other form of state subsidy.
