The guarantees minimized the government’s contingent liabilities by limiting its exposure to two to three months of payments and guarantees. They also helped to ensure consistency and predictability in government support for Kenya’s Independent Power Producer Program. Most important, they made possible the construction of 298 MW of critically needed generation capacity.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWASTEPOWER SECTORSPOWER PLANTSELECTRICITY SECTORFOSSIL FUELSHEATING FUELSCARBONINCOMEACTIVITIESACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYGENERATIONINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYCLEAN ENERGYTRADITIONAL BIOMASSEMISSIONSINCENTIVESPOWER SUPPLYGASPEENERGY CONSUMERSSOURCE OF ELECTRICITYDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYBIOMASSGENERATION CAPACITYENERGY PAYMENTSCO2PETROLEUMOILEMISSION FACTORPOWER GENERATIONENERGY MIXSUSTAINABLE ENERGYFOREST RESIDUESCO2 EMISSIONSGEOTHERMAL PLANTCAPACITYKILOWATT HOURENERGY INTENSITYELECTRIFICATIONOPTIONSSOLID FUELSENERGY RESOURCESPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY SERVICESRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESCONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEELECTRICITY SUPPLYENERGY SECTORGAS EMISSIONSPELLETSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTFUELSFUEL COSTSPOWER PRODUCERSCFCENERGY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONGREENHOUSEPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYLEADHEATCLIMATE CHANGEBALANCESOURCE OF ENERGYBLACK CARBONENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSIONENERGY CHARGESPOWERELECTRICITYCLIMATEHYDROPOWERWORLD ENERGYFORESTPETROLEUM GASELECTRICITY TARIFFSREMEDIAL ACTIONSENVIRONMENTPRIMARY ENERGYENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY DEMANDPOWER PRODUCERCOMBUSTIONINVESTMENTGASEOUS FUELSCOALTARIFFDIESEL FUELFUELGLOBAL ENERGY MIXLESSBOTTOM LINEINVESTMENTSMETHANEBRIQUETTESHOUSEHOLD ENERGYENERGY INDUSTRIESLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASRENEWABLE ENERGYENERGY ACCESSDIESELPOWER OUTAGESFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEHEAT GENERATIONPIPELINEFOSSILHEATINGBENEFITSPOWER PLANTENERGYBriefWorld Bank10.1596/22115
