Centre for Energy Efficiency &
Conservation (CEEC)
KAM in conjunction with the ministry of energy established Centre for
Energy Efficiency & Conservation.(CEEC)
CEEC runs energy efficiency and conservation programs.
They include Energy Audits, Energy Management trainings and Energy
management Award programme to recognize companies that have
excelled in energy efficiency and conservation.
Note: So far over 120 companies audited resulting in reduced demand of
energy equivalent to 16MW and saving around Kshs 1.6 billion.

a.Energy Audits
An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy (Electricity,
Fuels..etc) flows for energy conservation in a process or system.
Aims to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without
negatively affecting the output(s).
Typical saving potential in facilities is 15-30%
Energy audits designed to help companies:
Identify energy wastage,
Determine saving potential
Give recommendation on measures to be implemented.

b.Benefits
Cost reductions through efficient use of energy
Reduced maintenance cost
Reduced exposure to fluctuating energy supply and prices and blackouts
Improved reputation with customers and society thorough environmental
protection.
Reduction of regional and national energy demand;
Help in Creating an Energy Management Team and establishing Energy policy
Improved employee motivation, health and safety
Compliance with legislation and ISO 14001 targets.

2.Kenyan energy scenario
We perceive the energy sector to be struggling to keep pace with the
economic boon.
The gap created by low generation capacity is quickly filled by emergency
generators.
The fuel cost component is driving electricity cost to levels never
witnessed before in this country and indeed the region.40 % or more of
cost goes to fuel adj.
The impact of this to the economy is evident negative effect.
Cost of goods are rising and inflation has crossed the 16% level.
Where are we headed?

3.Energy at water and waste water industry
Water infrastructure, globally, use large amounts of energy to operate.
Providing reliable water and waste water services is a highly intensive
energy activity.
As a consequence of the rising cost , many water and waste water
companies require to develop energy management strategies and
implement energy conservation measures.
Equipment upgrades and operational modifications should be
incorporated to a comprehensive energy review and management
strategy.

Typical efficiency measures in water
pumping system

Select the right pump size but incase of over designed pump already installed ,
provide variable speed drive,
Install soft starters and PF correctors especially for big loads
Downsize / replace impeller or replace with correct sized pump for efficient
operation.
Operate pumps near best efficiency point.
Modify pumping system and pumps losses to minimize throttling.
In multiple pump operations, carefully combine the operation of pumps to
avoid throttling
Replace old pumps by energy efficient pumps

4.The Regional Technical Assistance
Programme (RTAP) facilitated by KAM

RTAP to Finance viable Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy
Efficiency (EE) investments in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
Will provide support in undertaking feasibilities studies
To finance bankable projects with up to 75% of the cost.
Programme meant to provide soft loans with long payback
periods.

5.Way forward
KAM highly recommends that the various water service companies
prepare to undertake energy audits for their various facilities.
KAM can facilitate that once data on production/service and energy
consumption is provided.
KAM will also commit to make follow ups on the various audited facilities
to assist in implementation
KAM will also provide information on the various training courses to be
offered next year. Stakeholders should attend the relevant ones.
