14 Foreword and Preface Foreword from Board Chairman Dear Friends, I am glad to communicate to you at this exciting time when KenGen has revamped its Good-to-Great (G2G) Transformation Strategy as a blueprint for the company over the next ten years. This will contribute significantly towards adding new capacity as part of the government plan to inject 5000+MW capacity into the national grid, lower tariffs and move towards green generation sources. Kenya is in need of sufficient, reliable and affordable power to realize the Vision 2030 energy targets. As the largest power producer in the country, we have strengths of scale and expertise, backed by an exceptional record of accomplishment and service to achieve our targets. In pursuit of our vision, we are transforming the way we manage our operations to accelerate quicker achievement of our targets. The G2G Transformation Strategy was first adopted by the company in The G2G transformation journey embodies moving from a Good to a Great company that creates value for all stakeholders while focusing on achieving sustainability in value creation from One Generation to the Next Generation of Kenyan people. Key Achievements in our strategy Our strategy is embedded in three strategic pillars: Capital Planning and Execution, Regulatory Management and Operational Excellence. Strong Organizational Health is the foundation on which the three pillars are anchored. As a company, we have made great achievements in the implementation of our strategy. At the commencement of our strategy, Kenya was wholly reliant on expensive thermal energy and hydro power which is susceptible to erratic weather patterns affecting regular power supply. So far, KenGen has achieved renewable milestones in its G2G journey. Today, through our contribution in green energy, the economy has benefitted by reduced tariffs and about 88% of our nation consumption is from green sources. Our capacity addition programmes continue to be aligned to the country s Vision 2030 Industrialization goals and government Medium Term Plans. G2G Horizon Priority Initiatives The next phase of our strategy is an ambitious one that will ensure that the Kenyan people have access to reliable, sufficient and affordable energy. As part of G2G Horizon II, KenGen aims to add 2,500MW new capacity in the next ten years, contribute to lowering consumer tariffs, and diversify our business to tap into new revenue sources like offering geothermal consulting or drilling services. We are also building capabilities to be ready for the future and investing in our people to have a happy workforce which viii

15 is proud to be part of KenGen. Strategic priorities that will drive our future is guided by three aspirations/goals namely:- Lowering tariffs to ensure low cost of electricity to spar economic growth; Increasing capacity by 2500MW by 2025; and Value creation for the shareholders with a minimum target Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 10%. Appreciation I wish to thank the Government of Kenya for its goodwill and invaluable support in making KenGen s investment programmes a reality. Further, I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to our development partners, the communities where we operate, and all other stakeholders who have been instrumental in the attainment of our mandate. Finally, I acknowledge the professionalism and commitment of the entire KenGen management and staff in executing the mandate of the Company in delivering power to the economy and urge all of us to consistently engage in the implementation of the revamped G2G Horizon II roadmap. Thank you JOSHUA K. CHOGE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD April 2016 ix

16 Preface by the MD & CEO Defining strategic direction, creating value through transforming operations and improving cost management, while identifying key modifications to business processes are critical areas for transformation of the organization. KenGen continues to maintain its position as the market leader in the provision of reliable, safe, quality and competitively priced electric energy in the Eastern Africa region. This leadership is hinged on capital planning and execution, regulatory management and operational excellence founded on a healthy, robust and effective organization. To achieve its vision and to transform KenGen into a high performing organization, KenGen embarks on a Good 2 Great (G2G) transformation programme in After 8 years of this programme, KenGen took stock of the achievements and mapped the way forward to achieve continued success. Since its inception, the G2G strategy has led to significant achievements: In the capital planning and execution pillar, KenGen delivered 700+MW of new generation capacity, drilled 150+ geothermal wells versus the target of 100, and advanced 1,900MW of projects past feasibility (versus the target of 1,500MW in 2018). With regards to regulatory management, KenGen raised regulated return on equity (ROE) from 10.5 to 12.5%, created a regulatory unit, and reduced dispatch risk through capacity Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). In the Operational Excellence pillar, KenGen improved Return on Invested Capital from 4.7% in FY2011 to 12% in FY2015/16. Changes in the Kenya s Power Sector The Kenyan power sector has undergone a number of significant changes over the last decade. The Government s ambitious Vision 2030 plan catalysed a string of investments and projected a significant increase in energy demand. At the same time and supported by the devolution process community and other stakeholders demands have become more important. Independent Power Producers (IPPs) have entered the market and are aiming to position themselves as strong contenders in the growing energy market. Apart from geothermal resources, deposits of oil and gas have been discovered in Northern Kenya and at the Coast. While these deposits have not yet been commercially developed, there are many projects in the planning stages and the confirmations of the reserves could lead to a shortage in drilling resources that could have a significant impact in our staff joining oil and gas sector. These changes herald a new dawn of a very competitive environment that requires us as a Company to revamp and renew our business for sustainable growth. x

17 Revamped G2G Horizon II Strategy Overall, these changes have led to a situation where KenGen has to continuously position itself as the market leader in power generation and the preferred power supplier in Kenya. In order to respond to the pressure of stakeholders and competition, we have updated our G2G Horizon II strategy. Horizon II has been revamped and extended, and aims at creating sustainable power growth in Kenya by To achieve these aspirations, we will improve on organizational health factors such as leadership health and build required skills/ capabilities to be able to address all the initiatives. On the regulatory and financing pillar, KenGen will pursue new financing approaches, establish new business models and improve PPA s/ tariff regulation. KenGen will work towards improving returns on current plants (OPEX) and optimizing future plants, CAPEX planning and execution. KenGen will work towards delivering current pipeline projects and access new geothermal fields. I would like to thank our Board of Directors, Management, our staff and all our partners who have continued to walk with us in our Good to Great journey. I would also like to thank the strategy team that helped drive the entire process of developing this strategy. God Bless You All ENG. ALBERT MUGO, MBS MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO April 2016 xi

18 Chairman of the Board Strategy Committee Remarks KenGen is the primary source of electricity generation for the country supplying about 80% of total national consumption, and will continue to be the most important player in the provision of new generation capacity. The company started a transformational journey eight years ago of moving from being a Good Company to being a Great Company with three clear strategic horizons namely; stabilizing the power situation in Kenya, creating sustainable power growth in Kenya and exploring expansion opportunities beyond Kenya. Horizon I ran from 2008 to 2012 with the objective of stabilizing power situation in Kenya. Horizon II was launched in 2013 and as a response to the changes in the external operating environment, has now been revamped and extended, aimed at creating sustainable power growth in Kenya by One of the Strategy Committee s role is to review the Company s Strategy and investment policies and make recommendations to the Board on issues of strategy adjustment. It also assesses the progress of the Company s Strategy execution plans through identification of priority areas. As such the Committee is committed to ensuring that the company has a robust business strategy that is monitored on a continuous basis. The committee will at all times ensure that the Company Strategy is aligned to the country s goal and that the Strategy is adjusted to factor in the changes in the external operating environment. In conclusion, let me take this opportunity to thank all those involved in preparation of this document. Thank you KAIRU BACHIA CHAIRMAN STRATEGY COMMITTEE xii

19 Acknowledgement of Power Africa Support On behalf of KenGen Board of Directors, Management and staff, I would like to acknowledge the support accorded to the company by Power Africa and its partners. The implementation of KenGen s Good 2 Great Horizon II roadmap will be supported over the next 2-3 years by Power Africa. Power Africa s engagement in Kenya revolves around its three pronged country strategy developing MW generation, driving off-grid adaptation, and supporting enablers. KenGen will continue to work closely with Power Africa in its efforts to generate cleaner power from, geothermal, wind and solar sources. The Horizon II roadmap will ensure progress towards achieving our target of 2500MW of new and clean generation capacity by This support is essential for successful implementation of this roadmap as it will go a long way in facilitating addition of new electricity connections in Kenya which is in line with the goal of Power Africa. ENG. ALBERT MUGO, MBS MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO xiii

20 Executive summary KenGen developed the Good 2 Great (G2G) transformation strategy in 2007 in order to achieve its vision and to transform KenGen into a high performing organization. The strategy was centred on Capital planning and execution, Regulatory framework, Operational excellence and Organizational Health. Since its inception in 2008, the G2G strategy has led to significant achievements: In the capital planning and execution pillars, KenGen delivered 700+MW of new generation capacity, drilled 150+ geothermal wells versus the target of 100, and advanced 1,900MW of projects past feasibility (versus the target of 1,500MW in 2018). With regards to regulatory management, KenGen raised regulated return on equity (ROE) from 10.5% to 12.5%, created a regulatory unit, and reduced dispatch risk through capacity power purchase agreements (PPAs). In the operational excellence pillar, KenGen improved Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) from 4.7% in FY2011 to 12% in FY2015/16. The Kenyan power sector has undergone a number of significant changes over the last couple of years. These changes have led to a situation where KenGen has to continuously position itself as the market leader in power generation and the preferred power supplier in Kenya. In order to respond to the pressure of stakeholders and competition, KenGen has revamped its G2G Horizon II strategy. The aspirational goals to be achieved in this horizon and which are aligned with government objectives for the power sector are; to increase capacity by 2500MW to remain relevant player in the market at 50+% share, creating value by providing adequate return to shareholders (i.e. delivering ROIC as well as project Internal Rates of Return (IRR s) above the market expectations) and profitably supply cheaper renewable electricity to the country. The 2500MW target consists of two main elements namely the existing KenGen current pipeline projects, all renewable and mostly geothermal- 1400MW and about 1100MW of geothermal projects in new sites (outside Olkaria). Further, KenGen recognises the ongoing coal, oil and gas activities in the country, and will continue keeping abreast in the development of these resources. The Company has recognised that, should these resources become commercially available within the strategy period, the Company will stretch and play a part in this space targeting a total capacity of about 1,800MW. Going forward, and in addition to existing initiatives and activities, KenGen needs to address seven areas as Horizon II priority initiatives to successfully implement its strategy: 1. Improving returns of current plants by optimizing and reducing operations and maintenance expenses, with an operational improvement of USD mln p.a. expected. xiv

21 2. Optimizing CAPEX for future projects through lowering the cost and improving delivery of new projects by hinging on a scrubbing and optimization procedure, contract optimization through owner integration and implementing lean construction techniques. 3. Improving PPAs / tariff regulation to increase profitability of future projects. 4. Pursuing new financing approaches like equity partnerships in new projects, asset monetization of existing plants, or asset backed securities to raise the USD 9-10 billion required to deliver the 2,500MW aspiration. 5. Establishing new legal structures to execute and finance off balance sheet projects such as KenGen B special purpose vehicles and KenGen C to drive consulting and other non-core businesses, both of which will support the mainstream core business ran as KenGen A. 6. Delivering current pipeline and accessing new geothermal fields to ensure timely and effective generation of sustainable energy in tandem with the growing national energy needs. 7. Improving organizational health factors such as leadership and motivation while building the required skills / capabilities to address all these initiatives. Communicating the revamped G2G Horizon II strategy will take into account internal as well as external stakeholders. The execution of the internal stakeholder engagement plan should include in-person, print, and other channels. External stakeholder engagement includes Government of Kenya entities, opinion shapers, development partners, and investors. For each of these groups, KenGen has a distinctive set of objectives, which could be achieved through tailored key messages. To ensure a smooth rollout of the strategy, a Pilot Support Team (PST) has been established to drive the G2G Horizon II priority initiatives through delivery and monitoring and tracking. The core PST consists of a multi-disciplinary team driving initiative teams within existing line functions. To facilitate the PST s monitoring and tracking tasks, G2G itrack, a strategy monitoring tool has been employed to monitor progress data and updates by the implementing teams, which can then be reviewed to identify issue areas and summarize impact. To ensure the successful implementation of this strategy, KenGen will take several measures that will demonstrate commitment to the plan and enable sustainable implementation within the corporate structure. These measures include incorporating Horizon II priority initiatives directly into the corporate plan of the organization, allocating resources directly to key Horizon II activities in the annual budget process, hardwire the relevant targeted savings into the operating cost and capital expense budgets and tie performance rewards for successful implementation of Horizon II initiatives into performance contracts for senior leadership of the organization. xv

22 1 Introduction The Kenya Electricity Generating Company Limited (KenGen) is Kenya s largest power generation company, with an installed capacity of 68%. The company has played a critical role in developing Kenya s electricity generation capacity over the last decades and now owns power plants with installed capacity of 1,630.7MW. KenGen s more than six decades history has seen it evolve from a private company, to a fully government-owned parastatal organisation, to a publicly listed company. The move to initially list 30% of the company on the Nairobi Securities Exchange required KenGen to transform itself to successfully meet the common objectives of its expanded stakeholder base: shareholders, customers, and the citizens of Kenya. The successful listing of KenGen on May 17, 2006 was a fundamental change for the company, as it opened KenGen up to private investors. This privatisation was one of three major regulatory changes in Kenya s electricity sector in the past ten years. From 1996 to 1998, a number of major reforms resulted in The management split of the Kenya Power Company, responsible for generation, from Kenya Power and Lighting Company, responsible for transmission and distribution, and The emergence of various Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the market, that now own ~30% of installed capacity To respond to the demands of its shareholders and other stakeholders, KenGen developed its vision to become the market leader in the provision of reliable, safe, quality, competitively priced electric energy in the Eastern Africa region. To achieve this vision and to transform KenGen into a high performing organisation, KenGen created the Good 2 Great transformation programme in Today, after 8 years of this programme, KenGen has taken stock of the achievements and mapped the way forward to achieve continued success. This document gives an overview of this past, and outlines the roadmap for KenGen s continued success over the next ten years. 1.1 KenGen s 2007 Good 2 Great Strategy KenGen developed the Good 2 Great (G2G) transformation strategy in 2007 in order to achieve its vision and to transform KenGen into a high performing organisation. G2G symbolises the dual objective of KenGen s strategy and philosophy behind the corporate social responsibility. On one hand, Good 2 Great is moving from a good company to a great company, and creating value for all of its stakeholders (e.g., shareholders, employees, and citizens). On the other hand, Generation 2 1

23 Generation, is creating value from one generation to the next generation of Kenyans. The strategy was centred on three pillars: Capital planning and execution (effective delivery of current projects, geothermal expansion, and capital planning and execution processes) Regulatory framework (improve single buyer model, steer deregulation process, and build a regulatory structure in KenGen s organisation) Operational excellence (optimise maintenance practises, reduce operational and overhead costs, and improve operational processes and structure) These pillars support KenGen s vision, and they are built on a foundation of organisational effectiveness from improved structure, culture and processes (performance management, promotion and succession planning, structure and governance, annual planning and budget, innovation and continuous improvement, and IT support / enablers). 2

On a macro-level, the new constitution (including a shift to devolved county governments) introduced new dimensions of electricity reticulation. The Government s ambitious Vision 2030 plan catalysed a string of investments and projected a significant increase in energy demand. At the same time and supported by the devolution process community and other stakeholders demands have become more important. Over the years, Independent Power Producers (IPPs) have entered the market and have positioned themselves as strong contenders in the growing energy market. They bring a new spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation, paired with cost-efficient technologies. In the course of KenGen s privatisation, the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) was created in 2008, with the aim to play a key role in geothermal development in the country, by reducing drilling risk for developers. All the rights to explore potential geothermal sources were transferred to GDC in order to open 3

25 access for private competitors in the geothermal space. Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) was also created to undertake new transmission investments to secure power evacuation and in the long-term play the role of the Independent System Operator. Apart from geothermal resources, deposits of oil and gas have been discovered in Northern Kenya and at the coast. While these deposits have not yet been commercially developed, there are many projects in the planning stages and the confirmations of the reserves could lead to a shortage in drilling resources. Overall, these changes have led to a situation where KenGen has to continuously position itself as the market leader in power generation and the preferred power supplier in Kenya. In order to respond to the pressure of stakeholders and competition, KenGen has revamped and updated its G2G Horizon II strategy. Figure 3 Changes in the Energy Sector over the Past Five Years Macro-level changes Description New constitution has introduced institutions such County governments Vision 2030 has projected a significant increase in Kenya s energy demand Community and stakeholder demands have increased, leading to challenges in delivering projects Entry of more IPPs Change in Geothermal environment Increasing competition from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) who are positioning themselves to supply power to the growing market IPPs are employing innovative cost-efficient technologies Rights to explore potential geothermal sites no longer open only to KenGen. Private players are already in the geothermal space KenGen needs to continuously position itself as the market leader and the preferred supplier of power in Kenya Discovery of oil and gas deposits Major discoveries of oil and gas in Northern Kenya and at the coast Plans ongoing to commercially exploit the reserves Competition for drilling staff 4

26 1.3 Transitioning to Horizon II The G2G strategy was originally intended to be implemented across three horizons, the first one lasting from 2008 to 2012 with the objective to stabilise the power situation in Kenya. The second horizon was launched in As a response to the changes in the external operating environment detailed earlier, Horizon II has been revamped and extended, and aims at creating sustainable power growth in Kenya by The third horizon, past 2025, will explore expansion opportunities to drive growth beyond Kenya, establish a strong African footprint, and become a regional leader in technology and innovation. Figure 4 We Are Revamping Our G2G Strategy KenGen adapted the pillars of the Good 2 Great strategy in response to the changing environment. These changes focus on the regulatory management pillar, which was enlarged in scope to include financing, and the strategy s foundation of organisational health, which now incorporates the impact of the aspired growth trajectory on the organisation. 5

27 Figure 5 Adapted Priorities for the Revamped G2G Horizon II 1.4 Methodology and Approach The work performed to prepare the content of this document followed three phases performed in two parts. Part I, from October to December 2015, covered the first phase, Developing the G2G Horizon II Strategic Roadmap, as well as part of phase 2, Developing an Implementation Plan, along seven work streams and an overarching integration activity. 6

28 Figure 6 Initial Work Plan Part I Part II, from January to April 2016, completed the remainder of phase 2 and drove phase 3, Launching the roll out of the Implementation Plan. Figure 7 Initial Work Plan Part 2 The effort was performed by a core operational team of five team members led by a project manager. This team was supported by subject matter experts on specific 7

29 topics, such as operational efficiency and capital productivity. The overall direction of the output, as well as adjustments to the initial work plans and deliverables, were guided by a Steering Committee consisting of the KenGen Executive Committee. The Executive Committee reported progress and aligned the developed strategy with the KenGen Strategy Committee of the Board, who reviewed and recommended to the Board for approval. In April 2016, the revamped Horizon II roadmap was approved. 8

32 2 G2G Horizon I Review 2.1 Key Achievements in Horizon I of G2G Since its adoption in 2008, the G2G strategy has led to significant achievements: In the capital planning and execution pillars, KenGen delivered 700+MW of new generation capacity, drilled 150+ geothermal wells versus the target of 100, and advanced 1,900MW of projects past feasibility (versus the target of 1,500MW in 2018). With regards to regulatory management, KenGen raised regulated return on equity (ROE) from 10.5 to 12.5%, created a regulatory unit, and reduced dispatch risk through capacity power purchase agreements (PPAs). In the operational excellence pillar, KenGen improved return on invested capital from 4.7% in FY2011 to 8.9% in FY2015 (adjusted for mid-year commissioning of Olkaria I AU and Olkaria IV). Figure 8 Capacity Expansion Delivered Generation capacity installed from (cumulative) MW G2G target: 500MW Since 2008, KenGen has executed 10 optimisation and new build projects to provide 325MW of additional generation capacity in Horizon I This is 65% of the G2G target of adding 500MW to capacity by projects have been completed in , adding another 375+MW to bring the total to 700+MW 1 Ngong I.II, Ngong II, Olkaria I and IV, Wellhead (partially) SOURCE: KenGen; team analysis 11

Maintenance practices that were implemented have borne fruit in ensuring improved plant availabilities in line with the capacity regime. However, a few areas of improvement were identified, as well as the need to embrace new technologies such as industrial internet and predictive maintenance. The regulatory environment, hinged on bolstering a single buyer model and improved tariff structures, had mixed outcomes. The revision of the Energy Bill 2015 necessitated a review of our regulatory framework with the focus turning to novel financing options. Financing of energy projects is capital intensive and the Board had to take a few bold decisions to deviate from the traditional Government-backed donor funds to dive into the commercial markets by way of instruments such as the first public infrastructure bond in the country as we as rights issue from the capital markets. This opened up avenues for other financing options and these are being addressed in various initiatives of Horizon II. Unseen opportunities also opened up like the acceptance of the steam revenue proposal as well as commercial drilling for other geothermal players. Consultancy in geothermal services as well as other commercial avenues are being exploited so as open up alternative revenue streams. 12

34 3 Business Environment Review 3.1 Government of Kenya s Power Sector Objectives In the course of preparing to revamp Horizon II of the Good 2 Great strategy, KenGen defined aspirational goals to be achieved during this horizon. This process began by reviewing the Government objectives for the power sector growing power supply to support Kenya s demand growth, achieving lower cost of electricity, and increasing renewable energy sources. KenGen s aspirations are aligned with and support these Government objectives. KenGen plans to increase capacity most of which in geothermal by 2,500MW (with the aspiration to remain the most relevant player in the market at 50+% share), creating value by providing adequate return to shareholders (i.e., delivering a Return on Invested Capital [ROIC] as well as project internal rates of return [IRRs] above the market expectations), and supplying cheaper renewable electricity to the country. Figure 10 Power Sector Objectives and KenGen Aspirations 3.2 Projected Demand Development When setting the aspiration for future generation capacity, the first step was an exhaustive analysis of projected demand and overall market capacity development. A demand projection using three main input factors was developed. The factors are latent demand, baseline demand, and Vision 2030 projects. 13

35 For latent demand, the low range based on 100MW from ERC's 10 Year Power Sector Expansion Plan connected over 5 years, grown in line with GDP/load growth ratio. The high range based on discussions with experts in the sector, indicating total of 600MW latent demand, connected over 10 years For baseline demand, 2015 demand was increased based on the correlation between GDP development and load growth. The lower range applied a GDP CAGR of 5.0% (IHS Global Insights World Market Monitor) and GDP load growth ratio of 1.0; the higher range 6.8% (Economic Research Services) with 1.2 ratio Vision 2030 projects were included based on Kenya s Vision 2030 plan, with adjusted timelines and a power demand range derived from interviews with Government representatives and other stakeholders e.g., 0-600MW for the Standard Gauge and Light Rail and 0-550MW for the ICT park Figure 11 Vision 2030 Projects in the Demand Projection STATUS MAR in projection MW Vision 2030 projects Standard Gauge and Light Rail ICT park LAPSSET Iron and steel smelting industry Special Economic Zones Dairy milk processing and value added products Meat and meat products processing Hatcheries Veterinary investigation laboratories (VIL) Animal feeds manufacturing firms Intensification of livestock production Industrial parks Resort cities Total Low High Source: ERC ten year power sector expansion plan, Vision 2030 website, press statements, expert interviews Starting from the 2015 peak demand of around 1,600MW, this results in a 2020 peak demand of around 2,600-3,600MW and around 3,500-7,000MW by After adding a reserve margin of 15%, this corresponds to 4,000-8,100MW required capacity by

36 3.3 Projected Supply Development This demand estimate was compared to supply projections from a starting point of around 2,300MW capacity in 2015 and taking into account all the generation projects currently under way or planned, the total market capacity for 2025 could reach an estimated 8,900MW, leading to a potential excess capacity even in a high demand scenario. However, it is unlikely that all these projects are actually going to be realised by 2025 or at all. In fact, the LNG project included in this projected capacity was recently cancelled. In addition, 800+MW of existing thermal generation could be replaced by renewable energy going forward. Figure 12 Peak Demand and Generation Capacity Projections Projected contracted capacity and generation capacity need (estimated peak demand incl. 15% reserve margin), in MW 10,000 Projected contracted capacity High range capacity need 8,900 Low range capacity need 8,000 8,100 6,000 5,200 4,000 2,000 2,300 1,600 4,100 3,000 4,000 0 SOURCE: Team analysis; KPLC PPA list of projects, interviews with most developers, KenGen, ERC Kenya ten year power sector expansion report 3.4 Increasing Role of Independent Power Producers According to the projection performed, 6,600MW of additional generation capacity is expected to come online between 2015 and 2025 (difference between expected 2025 installed capacity of 8,900MW and 2015 installed capacity of 2,300MW). When analysing the make-up of this growth, only 21% is considered to be in KenGen s firm pipeline, with another 27% not yet tendered or assigned to GDC. The remaining 52% have been assigned to various IPPs. This indicates that the power generation market in Kenya is becoming very competitive, with significant interest from independent developers. Examples of IPPs active in the field include Lake Turkana Wind Power project (300MW), a consortium led by Aldwych International and KP&P Africa BV with a projected completion date of

37 Akiira I and II geothermal power projects (2x35MW), owned by Marine Power Generation (holds exploration licence), Ram Energy (technical expertise), and Centum and Frontier (investment companies), with a projected completion date of 2018 Menengai geothermal (3x35MW), which comprises three IPPs (Quantum Power East Africa, Orpower Twenty Two, Sosian Energy) while GDC provides steam, with a projected completion date of KenGen SWOT Analysis The strategic initiatives for KenGen are largely guided by both the internal and external environmental factors. Internal environmental factors include analysis of KenGen s strengths and weaknesses while external factors opportunities and threats (SWOT). The KenGen SWOT and SWOT confrontation matrix are as detailed below, Exhibit # and Exhibit #.

41 4 Horizon II Aspirations 4.1 KenGen s Market Share and Project Pipeline Currently, KenGen s market capacity share is at around 68%, or 1,600MW out of the 2,300MW overall market. KenGen s aspiration is to remain the main player in the market, and retain at least a 50% share. Assuming that the market capacity will ultimately grow in line with demand, this aspiration translates into a target generation capacity of 4,100MW in the expected 2025 high range market capacity of 8,100MW an increase of 2,500MW compared to today. In case the market develops significantly slower, the approach will have to be adapted but KenGen will still have to grow and move faster than competitors to solidify its position. This 2,500MW target consists of two main elements The existing KenGen current pipeline of all renewable and mostly geothermal 1,400MW Up to 1,100MW of only geothermal projects in new sites (outside Olkaria) The latter includes additional concessions, joint development agreements with the GDCs, joint ventures with IPPs, and auction/bidding against IPPs. It also includes the planned 350MW wellhead project, which is expected to not fit on KenGen s existing Olkaria field.

42 In addition to the base target of 2,500MW, KenGen also decided on a high target scenario including 1,800MW of additional, non-renewable projects potential future GoK projects like LNG or coal, which KenGen could bid for given the right circumstances. This high target scenario would imply a total growth of 4,300MW by Figure 16 Breakdown of Growth Aspiration by Project and Year Elements of the KenGen base case target aspiration by 2025, MW KenGen current pipeline New sites geothermal projects 1 II 2,500 I 1,154 1, Olk. w- heads Ngong I Ph. 3 Olk.

IX Eburru Meru Ph.2 Total 2025 New sites projects Total base target 2025 Commissioning year TBD 1 Including 350MW wellhead project 4.2 Value Creation Total Return to Shareholders KenGen s second aspiration revolves around creating value for their shareholders. One of the common indicators of value creation is the total return to shareholders (TRS), which is defined as the sum of a company s share price change and per share dividend yield. An analysis of KenGen s TRS shows that the company has underperformed the market over the last four years, with a TRS of negative (-) 8% per year from June 2011 to November 2015 in the same time period, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Kenya returned 13% per year, while the MSCI index for global utilities provided a TRS of 0%. 21

Other impacts cause a loss of negative (-)4%. As is normal for investments for future projects, these have a negative impact of negative (-)9%. Unlike the normal case where these investments would lead to positive investor expectations for the future, this is not the case here: Investor expectations add another negative (-) 11% of negative impact, leading to an overall TRS of negative (-) 8%. 22

44 There are two potential explanations for the negative investor expectations A lack of confidence that KenGen s future projects will be able to deliver a project internal rate of return above the market expectations for weighted average cost of capital And/or inefficient share price discovery due to infrequent trading Figure 18 Total Return to Shareholder Decomposition Decomposition of our total return to shareholder 1 (TRS) development, Jun 11 to Nov 15 In percentage points Continuation of past performance Impact of performance improvement Impact of investments for future projects Sales growth from Additional MW Change in profit margin from OPEX improvements Investments to improve sales and margin Impact of performance improvement Investor expectations of future prospects Other 2 Total TRS Investors have questions about our future Our expected IRR for future projects is below market WACC Infrequent trading and share owner structure may cause inefficient share price discovery 1 Defined as the sum of share price change and per share dividend yield 2 Impact of leverage changes and non-operating items (e.g., litigation expenses, severance, restructuring and impairment charges, impact of gain/loss on share repurchases and issuances). Also includes adjustments for deferred tax liability and PP&E revaluation surplus SOURCE: Publicly available company documents, Capital IQ, team analysis Infrequent Trading KenGen s shareholder structure and time to trade indicates that KenGen has an unusual shareholder composition: While peers (listed utilities focusing on generation) like Indian Adani or US-American Calpine have 29% and 99% institutional ownership respectively, KenGen has just above 1% the two largest being the National Security Social Fund of Uganda at 0.8% and US-American Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC at 0.5%. This shareholder structure or broader market characteristics could be factors behind KenGen s time to trade the free float (calculated by dividing average share volume traded per year by free float volume) at 6.9 years, while Calpine and Adani have 0.4 and 0.8 years respectively. As a result of this, KenGen s true intrinsic value may not be adequately reflected in the capital markets. 23

This is in tandem with the expectation of an outside investor who would expect KenGen s ROIC to be above the weighted average cost of debt (WACC), which based on the market approach applied by investors is around 10% for KenGen. 24

47 4.3 Cheaper Renewable Electricity KenGen s third aspiration is to profitably supply cheaper renewable electricity to the country. This is driven by the tariff received. A review of the various approaches to tariff setting in Kenya indicates that KenGen is in a challenging situation, with a costplus tariff based on a 12.5% return on equity for plant CAPEX applied to all its endeavours. This return on equity is structurally below the 16.5% an outside investor would expect, based on expert interviews. Independent power producers, on the other hand, benefit from preferential feed in tariffs that are independent of their project cost, especially for small to mid-sized renewable generation projects. This structure leads to a strong incentive to optimize costs. These approaches are not consistently applied however, with exceptions possible. This leeway indicates some opportunity for KenGen to agree on approaches with the Government to achieve higher returns than the regulated return. An analysis of the data in Kenya Power s 2015 annual reports demonstrates the extent to which IPPs are treated preferentially: While KenGen provides 75% of the electricity in Kenya, they receive only 49% of power generation revenues. This leads to a tariff per kwh of KES 5.6 for KenGen, compared to 17.4 for IPPs a significant difference that is not even justified when adjusting for fuel charges and the preferential financing conditions KenGen historically enjoyed through concessional loans (detail in exhibit following). KenGen is thus the driver of low electricity cost in Kenya, and should be supported by the Government in any efforts to keep tariffs low. Figure 22 Comparison of Tariffs for KenGen and IPPs 26

49 5 Horizon II Priority Initiatives In addition to existing initiatives and activities, KenGen needs to address seven areas as Horizon II priority initiatives to successfully implement its strategy: Improving returns of current plants by optimising and reducing operations and maintenance expenses Optimising capital expenditure (CAPEX) for future projects through lowering the cost and improving delivery of new projects Improving PPAs/tariff regulation to increase profitability of future projects Pursuing new financing approaches like equity partnerships in new projects, asset monetisation of existing plants, or asset backed securities Establishing new legal structures to execute and finance projects such as KenGen B special purpose vehicles and the KenGen C consulting business, Delivering current pipeline and accessing new geothermal fields Improving organisational health factors such as leadership and motivation and building the required skills/capabilities to address all these initiatives Figure 23 Strategic Pillar Priority Initiatives Vision: To be the market leader, in the provision of reliable, safe quality and competitively priced electric energy in the Eastern Africa region Strategic pillars Capital planning and execution Regulatory and financing Effectively deliver current projects Drive performance management 1 Expand geothermal capacity, incl. new fields 2 Implement new CAPEX planning and execution processes Improve leadership health 7 Pursue new financing approaches Establish new business models 3 Improve PPAs/ tariff regulation Organisational health Achieve people readiness for growth 2 Enhance annual planing and budget Operational excellence 1 Optimise maintenance practices and increase availability Foster innovation and continuous improvement Reduce operational and overhead costs Improve operational processes and structure Upgrade IT support/ enablers Priority initiatives 1 Improve returns of current plants (OPEX) 2 Optimise future plants CAPEX planning and execution 3 Improve PPAs/tariff regulation 4 Pursue new financing approaches (e.g., partnerships, asset monetization) 5 Establish new structures to execute and finance projects (KenGen B/C) 6 Deliver current pipeline and access new geothermal fields 7 Improve organizational health and build required skills/ capabilities (e.g., SPV creation, motivation) 1 Incl. talent management, promotion/succession planning, women s motivation 2 Incl.

FTE growth and skill/capability building An operational improvement of USD mln p.a. is expected to be achievable through direct O&M savings, additional generation, and reduced adjustments. This would increase ROIC to 10% from the current 8.9%.

Non-manpower expenses TBD 6 According to KenGen regulatory projections, annually KES 1.3 bn steam charge for well drilling investments (plus KES 1.7 one time back payment) and KES 2.4 bn tariff improvements SOURCE: Team analysis 29

51 5.1.1 Direct O&M Savings Extrapolating potential savings identified in Olkaria II (21% O&M savings, USD 0.5 mln) and Kamburu (17% O&M savings, USD 1.6 mln) indicates a potential for a 20% reduction in annual O&M costs (USD 5-7 mln projected savings across entire fleet). This could be achieved by optimising operations and maintenance norms to best practice, e.g. work order processes and the Full Time Equivalents (FTE) required. Figure 26 Direct O&M Cost Savings Additional Generation Changes in the overhaul strategy could optimise average availability of energy plants to best practice availability (78% to 98% for geothermal, 73% to 97% for hydro and 89% to 96% for fuel oil). Up to104 GWh of additional generation potential is possible if the energy fleet achieves best practice availability, representing a 14% increase from the average annual generation capacity of 722 GWh between 2012 and This represents a new revenue potential of USD 5-7 mln across the entire fleet assuming that energy demand will grow accordingly to absorb this additional generation. 30

Assuming sufficient demand for higher availability of plants and no marginal cost for additional revenues. The range is based on half to full dispatch of new potential without cannibalisation of existing energy revenues SOURCE: Team analysis Reduced Margin Adjustments Currently, capacity adjustments lead to reduced generation potential, directly affecting the bottom line. This is as a result of long outages, frequent breakdowns and core equipment malfunction affecting availability and revenues. If availability falls below threshold for five consecutive months, capacity charges to KenGen are reduced, directly affecting the bottom line. Improving performance of capacity plants to best practice could lead to an overall reduction in adjustments totalling up to ~USD 6-12 mln over the ten year transformation. This is based on the assumption that capacity plants reach best practice performance and reduce adjustments to zero. The range is based on realisation of at least half of the value over the ten year timeline. 31

53 Figure 28 Reduced Margin Adjustments Capacity adjustments lead to reduced generation potential, directly affecting the bottomline Improving performance of capacity plants to best practice could lead to an overall reduction in adjustments totalling up to 6-12 mn Frequent breakdowns and core equipment malfunction lead to deteriorating of the plant.

Range is based on % recovery of value SOURCE: Team analysis Improvement Initiatives Five major initiatives will be critical to achieving the USD mln savings. These initiatives include: Introduce criticality based maintenance strategy (USD 3-4 mln) Increase wrench time to 50% - 60% and optimise the work order process (USD 2-3 mln) Introduce autonomous maintenance by operations (USD ~0.5 mln) Centralise wellhead operations (USD < 0.5 mln) Enhance performance management and dialogue Indirect impacts of the above initiatives on availability, generation, and adjustments for capacity could lead to USD mln in new revenues. To effectively deliver these savings and to reduce the risk of potentially harmful operational disturbances during the implementation of the proposed initiatives, there is a need for a dedicated OPEX team to drive the plant transformations, training of the team on key delivery skills and OPEX optimisation skills, a continued supportive and receptive mind-set, and a dedicated budget. 32

The introduction of critically based maintenance has been mainly focussed on auxiliary equipment. A detailed and structured equipment risk assessment could lead to improved selection of type of maintenance (reactive, preventive, critically based maintenance) and optimized overhauls. Expected benefits of this critically based maintenance include constant maintenance effort, similar and optimized level of planned unavailability, and reduced unplanned unavailability. 33

This means that actual tool time at KenGen is 30% against a good practice of 50% and best practice of 60%. The main improvement areas for optimised wrench time include Establish a good practice work order process Define and track full day schedules for each worker Allow work order back log to avoid idle time Introduce performance dialogues at shop floor level Use SAP system more consistently 34

KenGen has a large pipeline with future power generation projects, which will imply significant capital expenditure (CAPEX). An important part of the Horizon 2 program focusses on the optimisation of the design, contracting, and delivery of these projects. A series of interviews and analyses found gaps along KenGen s capital productivity process: Particularly in the area of the structuring of capital project enablers, its capital strategy, and the portfolio optimisation, KenGen could still improve its performance when compared to the best practice performance results. 36

59 In the next decade, KenGen foresees to spend USD 8.1bln in CAPEX in order to deliver the 2,500MW growth plan by This is based on overnight construction costs, excluding inflation, and excluding additional contingencies identified. During the diagnostic it was estimated that three main levers could lead to an overall CAPEX reduction of USD ~1.5bln, or an overall reduction of 18-20% of the total planned CAPEX of USD 8.1bln. These levers are Implementing a scrubbing and optimisation procedure Contract optimisation and changing the contracting strategy to owner integration Implementing lean construction techniques Integrated project management acts as an enabler for these levers. Figure 36 Levers for Capex Improvement Overall potential cost impacts for KenGen 2,500MW pipeline 2 USD mn 8, ,600-1,500 (18-20%) A B C Planned CAPEX 1 Implementing a scrubbing and optimisation procedure for the project portfolio (5%) Contract optimisation and changing contracting strategy to multi package owner integrated (up to 10%) Implementing lean construction techniques during project execution (3-4%) Potential adjusted CAPEX after capital productivity optimisation D Integrated project management enabler 1 Project view of USD 8.1 BN capex requirements for delivering 2,500MW by 2025 (overnight construction cost, excl. inflation). Excluding additional contingencies identified 2 Extrapolated estimates based on post-mortem analyses of Olkaria IV and Olkaria I unit 5. Excluding maintenance reduction potential SOURCE: Team analysis Scrubbing and Optimisation The first lever aims at implementing a scrubbing and optimisation procedure for the project portfolio. Scrubbing is pressure-testing a project s rationale to verify existence of a problem or opportunity, make sure that the problem will be fully solved or opportunity fully realized, grant the use of realistic assumptions in the business case, and check for correctness. This process, which optimises the technical design of the projects, is estimated to reduce the CAPEX requirements by ~5%. Observations substantiating this estimation include 38

60 Specifications for the steam inlet pressure in the turbines was not adjusted for the current wells pressure Risks matrix did not have a plan for currency escalation risks Civil works specifications were not optimised for the project, resulting in cracks in the concrete structures Gold-plating on site observed, e.g., redundancies on the automation system, the oversizing of some concrete structures Increasing well efficiency/drilling knowledge could be used to optimize the steam concept, Good practice lessons learned review of projects performed, but no formalized process to improve on identified issues Contract Optimisation and Contracting Strategy The second lever suggests to optimise contracting and change the contracting strategy from lump sum to multi package scope integrated. These combined can potentially reduce the CAPEX by an additional up to ~10%. The experience with Olkaria IV suggests that there is potential to change towards an owner integrated contracting approach. Focussing on the contracting strategy, it can be stated that projects generally are delivered following three basic models. Each model requires different levels of involvement from the project owner. In the first model, there is one main contractor who is responsible for all aspects of the project and all the subcontractors involved. In this so-called Engineering, Procurement and Construction model (EPC, or lump sum turnkey model), the EPC contractor absorbs any cost overruns or savings. The second model is an EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Management) model. Hereby the EPCM contractor is responsible for the management of all aspects, and cost overruns are absorbed by the project owner The third variety is an owner integrated model (multiple lot), where the owner contracts all supplies necessary to execute the project. In this model the owner is fully responsible for all integration tasks, with all associated risks KenGen currently follows the first model for the main share of projects. Moving to an owner integration model is a process that should not be rushed, as significant risks are involved. In order for owner integration to deliver its potential, the pipeline for projects also needs to be sufficiently big to justify the effort. 39

For an EPC/lump sum turnkey contract, the owner is exposed to relatively little risk, and a relatively small team size from the owner is required. When instead an EPCM model is used, the project owner is generally exposed to a significantly larger risk. The team size required is however still relatively small. For the third model, the owner integration approach, both the risk to the contractor and the team size required are relatively high and large Lean Construction Lastly, by implementing lean construction techniques during the project execution, an additional 3-4% of cost could potentially be reduced. Lean construction addresses three key solution areas when in execution: Planning: Align plan among different executers weekly, ensure resources are available when needed, revise progress daily. Yard excellence: Standardize repetitive tasks at high efficiency and prepare non-repetitive tasks appropriately Risk management: Perform risk mitigation on a constant and formal basis, connecting site personnel to senior management 40

This could include, e.g., focussing the planning approach more on commercial assumptions or enhancing interface management between the Geothermal Division and Business Development.

FTE growth and skill/capability building As one of the Government s declared objectives is to lower the cost of electricity, KenGen s aspired increase in profitability will have to be achieved in combination with a decrease of the actual tariff charged. Simply increasing the regulated return to the 16.5% expected by an outside investor is thus not a viable course of action. An initial simulation indicates that combining both the Government s and KenGen s desires is feasible if the capital expenditures for new projects can be adequately reduced. The aspired improvement in RoE could be realised either through ensuring that in the power purchase agreements KenGen is properly reimbursed for the risk it assumes while building a power plant, or by entirely decoupling the tariff from a regulated return on equity. In both cases, an overall lower tariff than in the current scheme seems feasible without a need for Government subsidies and with a strong incentive for KenGen to optimise spend on new projects. A theoretical example illustrates this: A plant which requires ~USD 570 mln of capital investments would in the current scheme have an implied tariff of ~USD 8.1ct/kWh (assuming 30% equity ratio, 25 years PPA, 10.5% cost of debt, 90% load factor, 12.5% return on equity, based on full CAPEX including drilling cost). If KenGen were able to reduce the CAPEX by 18.5% (in line with the savings potential indicated by 43

65 the diagnostic) and add an adequate risk premium (e.g., 5%), the total CAPEX for the PPA agreement would add up to ~USD 490 mln. A 12.5% RoE on this would imply a tariff of ~USD 7.8ct/kWh lower than the current scheme. If KenGen managed to deliver the plant while avoiding the budgeted risks, the effective internal RoE could reach 16.5%. Hence, as shown in this example, both an overall lower tariff and an improvement in RoE seem feasible.

FTE growth and skill/capability building From a funding point of view, KenGen will have to raise/invest around USD 9-10 billion to deliver the 2,500MW aspiration. This estimate is based on overnight construction costs and takes into account inflation as well as interest during construction, in line with KenGen standard project calculations. Expert discussions with KenGen s business development team indicated that the initially planned base amount of USD 8.1 billion (of which USD 4.6 billion for the current pipeline of 1,400MW and USD 3.5 billion for new sites of 1,100MW) should be increased by about 10% to allow for sufficient contingencies not considered in the base estimations. 45

68 Figure 44 Financing Approaches to Fund the Capex Need Debt BALANCE SHEET FINANCING On the debt side, KenGen has already identified (incurred or committed) USD 1.4 bln of on-balance sheet finance for its pipeline projects, mostly from concessional lenders like JICA, EIB, or AFD. 47

In addition, KenGen may be required to resort to commercial loans for regulatory reasons when competing with IPPs for bids. As a result, KenGen s current low average cost of debt of 4.2% could increase to 10-11% for future projects. 48

This is due to an already fairly stretched balance sheet, with ratios like net debt to capital, net debt to EBITDA, or EBITDA to interest expenses worse than a benchmark sample of European Unity utilities as well as Standard & Poor s leverage criteria (used to determine the credit worthiness of companies and their ability to raise debt from commercial lenders). Going forward, KenGen will probably have to raise a majority of direct commercial debt, which will be hard to get on-balance sheet with current leverage ratios. To assess potential to further provide loans on-balance sheet, lenders would run full corporate finance due diligence and in particular look at net cash after investments. DFI/ development banks could be looking at other criteria, e.g., development goals. 49

The general concept of SPVs has already been introduced earlier: An SPV is a ring-fenced project that potentially increases investor/lender confidence as it: Relates to a specific risk with a limited-recourse condition to KenGen balance sheet (typically, KenGen would cover a share of SPV non-solvability) Provides clear forecast cash flows associated to a PPA with guarantees (e.g., letter of support from GoK) Potentially includes step-in rights, i.e., if KenGen does not meet its engagements, lenders would have the right to take control of operations Lenders are expected to be ready to provide direct loans to KenGen B SPVs even though KenGen s balance sheet ratios are stretched, and the cost of direct commercial debt raised on SPV could be different from on-balance sheet debt (potentially even lower in the case of a minority participation SPV, where partner brings additional security to lender). The exact cost and conditions for SPVs will have to be tested with the market and highly depend on the specific assets in question. 50

72 5.4.2 Equity EQUITY CONTRIBUTION FROM PARTNERS On the equity side, there are different ways KenGen could proceed to co-develop new projects with equity partners Minority or majority partnership: Having a partner with majority shares would exempt SPV from constraints on state-owned enterprises (e.g., public procurement processes, HR constraints) which would make it more attractive for a partner. The share of partner participation depends on the actual equity need, with the opportunity to sell majority stakes and keep control using A/B shares with differentiated voting rights Type of equity partner: A partnership with a financial partner seems attractive for geothermal projects, while there also is potential operational value from a development partner (i.e., lower costs, experience) for other technologies (e.g., coal, LNG) Focus on wells only: This leasing model is applicable to geothermal only, where KenGen could focus only on providing steam ASSET MONETISATION Asset monetisation has two advantages on the one hand, it allows KenGen to use the collective cash flows that would otherwise come in over the life time of a project s power purchase agreement, on the other hand there is a leverage effect rewarding KenGen for the risk taking in developing the project. For this leverage effect to work, KenGen would have to find an investor who expects less than KenGen s own regulated return or is willing to pay a premium for the risk KenGen has already taken in plant development initial discussions indicate that this could be possible taking into account the low risk profile of an existing plant. 51

73 Figure 48 Asset Monetisation Has a Leverage Effect 13,2 13,2 13,2 ILLUSTRATIVE Traditional model Annual cash flows assuming 12.5% return on equity and 25 years PPA 12.5% return on equity Asset monetisation -100,0 Initial CAPEX (equity only) -100,0 Initial CAPEX (equity only) 59,0 Farm down 49% of cash flows to an investor with 10% return Year 0 (unescalated overnight Capex) SOURCE: Team analysis, external interviews External interviews indicate that investors would look at 12% KSH RoE, down to 8-10% if off-take agreement guaranteed by GoK 6,7 6,7 51% of annual cash flows assuming 12.5% return on equity and 25 years PPA 6,7 Year 1 Year 2 Year 25 Leverage effect in the case investor expects return <12.5% only 16% return on equity The proper selection of the right assets to monetise will be key for this approach to be successful taking into account, e.g., asset value, selling constraints, and strategic importance. In particular, the selection of the pilot asset is critical to provide a success story. Another consideration to take into account are the potential impacts of asset monetisation on KenGen A these depend on the actual structure and details of a specific transaction, but could include: Assets: Transfer from fixed assets to cash, increase in total asset sum because of profit made Liabilities: No impact as all debt remains with KenGen A Book equity: Increases because of profit made Revenues and EBITDA: Reduced by the share of the asset that is monetised Net debt to equity ratio: Improves because equity increases Net debt to EBITDA ratio: Deteriorates because EBITDA is reduced EBITDA margin (EBITDA/revenues): Overall company EBITDA decreases if asset monetised has a higher margin than average plant margin Debt refinancing: Banks will need to be reassured the cash raised is effectively invested 52

74 REDUCE DIVIDENDS AND INCREASE RETAINED EARNINGS Reducing dividend pay-outs to increase retained earnings from operations is another possible approach to equity funding. This would have to be aligned with KenGen s major shareholder, the Government. An analysis of experiences from other companies indicates that companies that focus on growth rather than dividend payouts seem to be able to deliver significant long-term shareholder value. Figure 49 Companies that Focus On Growth Rather than Dividends Share price trend for selected companies Local currency Compagnie Ivoirienne d Electricite Tokyo Electric Power 800 Company Jan Apr Jul +6% p.a. +13% p.a.

However, this will likely not be a large financing lever overall. 53

This gap would have to be bridged through a reduction in project cost, which KenGen believes is possible if we implement the CAPEX optimisation described earlier in this document. 54

FTE growth and skill/capability building To reach their growth aspirations, KenGen management decided during their strategy retreat in June 2015 to to establish and operate two new, distinct types of organisational and legal structures KenGen B and C in addition to the existing company (KenGen A). KenGen A: The existing KenGen legal entity, in this document referred to as KenGen A, continues to exist without changes. It operates existing legacy plants as well as future KenGen A projects, that is, any future project financed in the traditional approach of taking out loans on the KenGen balance sheet). Future projects that fall into this category could include the Olkaria wellheads, Ngong I phase 3, Olkaria I unit 6 and rehab, Olkaria V, and Meru phase 1 KenGen B: In addition to KenGen A, multiple separate legal entities with ringfenced risks and cash flows technically special purpose vehicles (SPVs) will be used to develop new projects that cannot be financed through loans on KenGen A s balance sheet. These will also be a vehicle to partly monetise selected assets. These SPVs can be fully owned by KenGen A, or owned together with a partner. This approach could apply to Olkaria I and IV toppings, Olkaria VI, any new sites projects (i.e., outside Olkaria), and to this monetisation of existing assets 56

78 KenGen C: Finally, KenGen C will be a 100% subsidiary owned by KenGen that provides services to KenGen A/B and other companies. KenGen C will focus on consultancy services, a potential industrial park, and drilling services KenGen B The use case for KenGen B (or SPVs) is threefold: Monetisation of existing assets Development of future generation without a partner or through a fully owned SPV Delivery of new plants with a partner (partially owned SPV) First, for asset monetisation. This refers to selling a share in an existing asset to an investor, to raise funds for a new project. Asset monetisation can increase profitability of the remaining KenGen share through a leverage effect based on KenGen obtaining a price premium for having taken risk for an investor, an existing asset has a stable, secure cash flow with a limited risk profile. Second, to develop future projects without a partner, as a fully-owned SPV (SPV 100%). Here, an SPV is expected to enable KenGen to raise funding off its balance sheet, as potential new projects and their related risks are clearly ring fenced, separate from the parent KenGen A structure within the new SPV legal entity. In addition, this approach allows KenGen to create a lean structure in a new entity. Third, SPVs allow KenGen to develop future projects with partners that are interested in a specific asset with specific risk. This allows KenGen to attract needed capabilities (e.g., for non-geothermal projects), fulfil external/regulatory requirements (e.g., in the case of a Joint Development Agreement with the GDC or if a joint venture with an IPP is a prerequisite), or simply to reduce its own equity financing need through the partner contribution. In the case of asset monetisation or a partnership, a minimum 51% private share seems likely, as the SPV will then be considered to be a private entity, i.e., not subject to public procurement process. KenGen could nevertheless retain control of the asset, e.g., through a partnership agreement or different share classes. 57

The plant manager of a KenGen B geothermal projects would report to the KenGen geothermal development division director, the reporting line for non-geothermal projects depends on the level of progress projects that have not yet been commissioned will be handled under KenGen business development, commissioned projects will report to KenGen operations division. KenGen B projects where KenGen has majority operational control are planned to operate in a similar way as SPVs 100%, while for SPVs where KenGen has minority control only, the appropriate organisational structure will have to be decided with the partner. As a lean organisational setup, each SPV is expected to require only three dedicated employees for its core management other activities, e.g., procurement, operations and maintenance/repairs should be performed by KenGen A or C through service level agreements KenGen C The planned KenGen C consultancy division an approach that was approved by the Board at the end of 2015 is expected to be organised in three business divisions and support functions. The business divisions will be consultancy (includes operations, maintenance and EPC services for KenGen B plants and emergency support for legacy KenGen A plants, geoscientific services including environmental consulting, and engineering and workshop services), drilling services, and other businesses (e.g., industrial park and real estate/housing). To facilitate its launch, KenGen C initially plans to focus only on new projects and external customers. Specifically, drilling and other businesses divisions will 58

80 exclusively service other companies. Initially, there will not be any transfer of staff from the KenGen parent organisation, but invoicing for manpower used and costs made the detailed approach has to be further confirmed. KenGen C is proposed to initially have 12 core employees, of which 6 will be 50% shared with KenGen, translating to 9 full time equivalents. Figure 54 KenGen C To ensure a successful launch of its consultancy division, KenGen will have to address a number of critical key success factors that are currently not completely fulfilled. These include the right set of skills and capabilities, dedicated management focus from KenGen A and a top notch KenGen C management team, a sound business plan with adequate capitalisation of the entity, and the implementation of the best practice systems and processes from the beginning. 59

FTE growth and skill/capability building KenGen faces not only opportunities and challenges of business performance, which the previous initiatives seek to address, but also those of organisational health. An organisation s ability to align, execute, and renew itself to sustain strong performance over time is a direct result of its organisational health: External research shows that companies with a top quartile organisational health compared to peers are twice as likely to outperform those peers on margin, book value, and income growth. In December 2015, KenGen performed an organisational health assessment in order to determine the current state and identify areas of strengths and areas in need of improvement. Compared to a previous assessment in 2007, the result showed an overall improvement from 68 to 72 (out of a maximum of 100 points) 62

Areas of concern arose around the health of leadership and its impact on the staff, the personal connection and motivation of employees, talent acquisition and performance management, women s motivation, and the health of support (nonplant) functions. Figure 60 Key Findings of the Organisational Health Assessment 63

85 5.7.1 Areas of Strength Vision and Direction Company vision and direction is very clear at all staff levels. As demonstrated by best-in-class scores in Shared vision, Strategic clarity, and Knowledge sharing, KenGen has a clear shared vision, a strategy tied to that vision, and disseminates and shares that knowledge effectively. Respondents were quick to call the organisation Visionary, and when asked to describe the company in three words, many responded with the name of the transformation effort, Good to Great.

Total involvement SOURCE: KenGen 2015 Organizational Health Assessment (n=1,312) and global database (n=1,259,322, no. surveys=737) Capabilities There is strong faith in the organisation s current capabilities, driven by outsourced expertise. The organisational expertise received one of the highest scores overall in the assessment, and responses to open-ended questions pointed to employees as a key source of strength for KenGen. However, assessment of the management practices that lead to strong capabilities revealed that KenGen is strongest in outsourced expertise. This outsourcing of capabilities may lead to concerns in the future, as KenGen may not be effectively developing internal talent and capabilities. 65

Capability of Employees 2. Innovation among staff Retention of the best talents KenGen has a pool of well trained and talented employees who should be supported to achieve the goals and targets of the company. SOURCE: KenGen 2015 Organizational Health Assessment (n=1,312) and global database (n=1,259,322, no. surveys=737) Areas for Improvement Leadership Leadership shows low organisational health score across the board, which may be the cause of employees sensing a lack of inspirational leadership. Assessment of health by organisational level reveals a stark decrease in health at the senior management levels (L0-L3). This is the opposite of the common trend amongst organisations, where leadership shows the highest health scores in the team. This may be the most deeply concerning finding of the assessment, as role modelling of healthy practices by leadership is one of the key factors required for influencing the broader organisation to improve health practices. Furthermore, this appears to be affecting the rest of the organisation, as employees sense a lack of inspiring leadership or even effective use of leadership practices in KenGen. This is compounded by a sense that the environment is not open or trusting. Although there is a general trend across managerial levels for lower scores higher up the hierarchy, the lowest frequency of health practices appears at the L3 level (chief engineer, chief officer, assistant manager). This suggests that L1 and L2 managers are not sufficiently supporting and developing their direct reports. This may lead to continued leadership issues over time, as succession development is weak. 66

SOURCE: KenGen 2015 Organizational Health Assessment (n=1,312) and global database (n=1,259,322, no. surveys=737) Personal Connection to Vision and Strategy Employees are clear on the vision and strategy of the organisation, but don t feel personally connected or motivated. Despite KenGen s strengths in communicating a clear vision and strategy, there is very low personal ownership or sense of 67

89 meaningful values. This implies that employees do not feel that their work meaningfully contributes to the overall strategy and vision. This is accentuated by a sense of demotivation amongst all employees, particularly those in the mid-tenure range. This could potentially be due to poor talent development at early career stages, where many employees feel that strong performance is unrewarded. Furthermore, more tenured employees feel that experience is not recognized, and they are being passed up for younger talent. Broadly, comments in open-ended survey questions suggest a strong sense that promotions are given unfairly, based on personal nepotism and tribalism rather than on merit.

Concern around non-merit based rewards extends beyond promotions. Employees feel that career opportunities and nonfinancial incentives are inadequately given, and both performance reviews and talent development receive low scores. Specific comments revealed that employees feel that opportunities and rewards are given unfairly, and often opaquely. This suggests that improving transparency in the rationale for opportunities and rewards could help encourage both fairer practices and better understanding of those practices. 69

Across all healthy practices save one, women demonstrated lower frequency scores than their male counterparts by as much as 29%. The largest gaps in healthy practice usage are concentrated in those practices most tied to Motivation primarily, then some in Coordination and control and Culture and climate. This indicates that motivation is in part driven by inequality in the effective application of healthy practices throughout the organisation Support functions Support functions score lower than plant functions, especially Company Secretary / legal and finance / ICT. Broadly speaking, directly plant-facing functions all scored higher regarding overall health than support functions. This is especially true of the Company secretary and legal affairs and Finance and ICT functions. The lower support function scores appear to be largely driven by Accountability and Motivation, suggesting that special focus should be given to these areas when designing interventions. 70

This model promotes the concurrent use of four types of interventions to create change: Role-modelling Compelling storytelling Developing the skills required for change Creating reinforcement mechanisms 71

93 Figure 70 Influence Model The influence model highlights that there are typically four dimensions of influencing to stimulating behavioural change Effective initiatives employ interventions from all four dimensions of the influence model Dimensions of the influence model Role-modelling I see superiors, peers and subordinates behaving in the new way Skills required for change I have the skills and competencies to behave in the new way I will change my mindsets and behaviours, if Compelling storytelling I know what is expected of me I agree with it, and it is meaningful Reinforcement mechanisms The structures, processes and systems reinforce the change in behaviour I am being asked to make Example: How to ensure employees buy sustainably grown coffee Perception I see that my boss buys sustainably grown coffee I know that buying sustainably grown coffee is good for Kenya s nature and people because of reasons X and Y Every time I purchase non-sustainably grown coffee, I commit to paying a penalty of KES 100,- I know where I can buy sustainably grown coffee, I feel competent to judge which coffee is sustainable and which is not SOURCE: Team analysis Research shows that developing all four of these simultaneously will yield the most effective and sustained changes in mind-sets and behaviours. KenGen can organize and focus its organisational health initiatives into two major interventions, focused on: Improving leadership health Driving performance management It seems that there are a number of common underlying drivers amongst employees concerns, which could be effectively addressed through these two prongs. To be effective, initiatives in those two areas should be developed to cover all parts of the Influence Model mentioned above Build required skills and capabilities KenGen s growth aspirations and the subsequent business model modifications as described in the initiatives above are expected to result in a number of organisational changes that have implications on the need for skills and capabilities. The new legal entity setup with KenGen B and KenGen C, for example, will lead to the need for interfaces to coordinate with new entities, adequate planning, reporting, and controlling mechanisms as well as legal and management oversight and new skill sets to implement the new entity structure and financing approaches The changes in skills and capabilities are expected to affect all parts of the organisation, and may include: SPV structuring: Setting up SPV structures, managing partnerships, procurement outside the public procurement regulations Non-regulated revenues (KenGen C): Steam sales, industrial park, consulting 72

94 Owner integration: Taking over integration of multiple packages of a power plant from EPC contractor/epc consultant The significant growth in capacity from 1,600 to 4,100 MW 2.6 times implies that the overall FTE number for KenGen has to grow as well.

It drives G2G Horizon II priority initiatives through two different thrusts Pilot delivery: Run pilots for new initiatives (provide manpower and expertise needed, foresee and overcome roadblocks to success, actively solve issues through regular collaboration with line organisations and rapid escalation of issues) and prepare rollout after pilot phase (craft targets, KPIs, and implementation plans with line organisations, and codify learnings from pilot and adjust strategy) Monitoring and tracking: Set performance management guidelines with line organisations, monitor and track progress of Horizon II priority initiatives and 2,500MW program stage gate progress with IT tool, e.g., G2G itrack, escalate issues if needed for intervention/support, and report an independent view of performance and progress to MD & CEO and Board Figure 73 PST mission and Vision Vision By 2020, the Horizon II priority initiatives for the Good 2 Great roadmap have been successfully and sustainably implemented and transformed KenGen into a value creating company Mission To ensure effective and efficient delivery of the Good 2 Great Horizon II priority initiatives through robust performance monitoring, tracking, and evaluation as well as driving the required pilot capabilities Mandate The Pilot Support Team is established to enable KenGen to undertake delivery of pilot results and monitor and track performance of Horizon II priority initiatives SOURCE: Team analysis The structure of the Pilot Support Team follows the Project Implementation Team approach already being used within KenGen in project delivery.

98 To facilitate the PST s monitoring and tracking tasks, a tool like G2G itrack should be employed. This tool should be filled regularly with progress data and updates by the implementing teams, which can then be reviewed to identify issue areas and summarize impact. This provides a simple, easy to understand overview of progress of the initiatives in a dashboard. Figure 76 G2G itrack Tool MD PST Implementing teams Understand overall Identify bottlenecks of Understand necessary progress of the initiatives and implementation on the daily and weekly activities 2,500MW program in less ground Report progress of activities than a minute Summarize and understand Communicate issues with Communicate with PST and overall impact made by the the PST to problem solve implementing teams a tool initiatives to push individuals to fulfill Communicate overall responsibilities progress to the ExCo SOURCE: Team analysis Integration of G2G Horizon II in the Strategy Planning Process & Budget To ensure the successful implementation of this strategy, KenGen should take several measures that will demonstrate commitment to the plan and enable sustainable implementation within the corporate structure. Incorporate Horizon II priority initiatives directly into the corporate plan of the organisation Allocate resources directly to key Horizon II activities in the annual budget process Hardwire the relevant targeted savings into the operating cost and capital expense budgets Tie performance rewards for successful implementation of Horizon II initiatives into performance contracts for senior leadership of the organisation These activities will greatly enhance the ownership and push of all parts of the organisation to make G2G Horizon II succeed. 77

99 6.2 Detail Work Plans The implementation of the Good 2 Great Horizon II journey to 2025 will follow a three year roadmap, focusing on the seven initiatives described in the previous chapter. Detailed work Plans are shown in the Appendix 4 High Level Workplans. Figure 77 Three Year Implementation Roadmap Initial Workplans have been developed for the major initiatives as well as the enablers, and may have to be adapted and further detailed according to the decided priorities and sequencing of activities. 78

104 6.3 Stakeholder Management & Communication Internal Stakeholder Engagement Internal stakeholders include three groups: Board members, the members of the Executive Committee, and the overall KenGen staff (at headquarters and the plants, including contract and outsourced employees). For each group there are different objectives to be achieved and separate key messages to be communicated Board members: Get buy-in on the vision of the strategy, approvals, and agreement on communication to external stakeholders Members of the Executive Committee: In addition to the objectives to the Board members, the members of the ExCo also have to agree on the communication to internal stakeholders. KenGen staff: Build excitement and motivation Figure 85 Objectives and Messages to Internal Stakeholders Internal stakeholder group Board members Members of the Executive Committee Objectives we want to achieve Get buy-in on the collective vision of the strategy Get necessary approvals Agree on messages to be communicated to external stakeholders including GoK entities, investors, and opinion shapers Get buy-in on the collective vision of the strategy Get necessary approvals Agree on messages to be communicated to internal and external stakeholders and get feedback on proposed messages to different stakeholders Key messages to be communicated KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and requires access to other geothermal fields KenGen requires attractive tariffs to attract private capital as an alternative to the highly leveraged balance sheet KenGen will need to develop new skills and capabilities to achieve the aspirations of the new strategy Motivating our staff is critical to ensure buy-in of the new strategic direction of the company and Directors should play a lead role on this KenGen staff 1 Build excitement for the future of KenGen Build buy-in on the collective vision of KenGen Give motivation for their work Get feedback on the current strategy and how best to engage staff in achieving the aspirations, e.g., through surveys, focused group discussion KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and our staff will play a key role in driving the new strategy The new strategy will present opportunities for growth as KenGen seeks to build new capabilities to support the strategy The new strategy will require extensive commitment from the KenGen family. How best do we support you to deliver the strategy? 1 HQ staff, plant staff, contract staff, outsourced service providers SOURCE: Team analysis The execution of the internal stakeholder engagement plan should include in-person, print, and other channels, and needs to be launched as soon as possible to drive perception and shape opinions rather than being pushed into a reactive mode by uncoordinated dissemination of information. 83

105 Figure 86 Potential Internal Stakeholder Engagement Plan External Stakeholder Engagement External stakeholder engagement includes Government of Kenya entities, opinion shapers, development partners, and investors. For each of these groups, KenGen has to achieve a distinctive set of objectives, which could be achieved through tailored key messages. The next exhibit details these objectives and key messages. Figure 87 Objectives and Messages to External Stakeholder GoK entities MoEP GDC ERC Objectives we want to achieve Improve tariffs Gain access to geothermal fields Gain access to new geothermal fields currently licensed to GDC Improve tariffs Key messages to be communicated KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and requires access to other geothermal fields KenGen requires attractive tariffs to attract private capital KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and requires access to other geothermal fields through JVAs and competitive bidding KenGen requires attractive tariffs to attract private capital for new capacity plans KPLC 1 Coordinate dispatch of renewable energy to contribute to tariff reduction Due to KenGen s increasing capacity, there is a need to coordinated dispatch for optimal evacuation of power Opinion shapers Position KenGen as a growth stock KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and this will require a shift of shareholder base Development partners Position KenGen as a growth stock Identify synergies KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and this will require a shift of shareholder base Investors Shareholders Debt financier Equity partners Position KenGen as a growth stock Highlight capacity plans of G2G and financing requirement Communicate impact of new financing mechanisms on existing financing Highlight investment opportunities KenGen is embarking on a growth trajectory and this will require a shift of shareholder base Given the capital requirement of the new strategy, KenGen may not pay dividends as it has done in the past KenGen is pursuing new financing mechanisms to finance current project pipeline. This will not impact current financial commitment.
