    Glossary

    1
    Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
    A long-term contract in which an off-taker, often a utility or large corporate, buys electricity from an independent generator at an agreed tariff. In Kenya, PPAs underpin geothermal, wind and solar IPP projects and are central to bankability discussions.
    2
    Independent Power Producer (IPP)
    A privately owned generator that sells electricity to a utility, industrial buyer or another off-taker under a PPA. IPPs are a major channel for new geothermal, solar and wind capacity in Kenya.
    3
    Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
    A contract model where one contractor designs, sources equipment for and builds a power plant or grid asset. EPC firms are key buyers of turbines, transformers, switchgear and balance-of-plant equipment at energy exhibitions.
    4
    Geothermal steam gathering
    The network of wells, pipelines, separators and control systems that collect steam from an underground reservoir and deliver it to a geothermal power plant. Kenya's Rift Valley geothermal fields make this a core technology segment at the show.
    5
    Solar home system (SHS)
    A small stand-alone solar kit, typically comprising a panel, battery, charge controller and lights or appliance connections, used in homes beyond the reach of the main grid. Pay-as-you-go financing is common in Kenya's off-grid market.
    6
    Mini-grid
    A small, local electricity network that supplies a village, cluster of businesses or an isolated facility from a dedicated generator or hybrid solar-storage system. Mini-grids are a key route for county-level electrification in Kenya.
    7
    Net metering
    A billing arrangement that credits a customer with solar or other distributed generation exported to the grid against electricity imported at other times. It affects the business case for rooftop and commercial solar projects.
    8
    Transformer and switchgear
    Substation equipment that steps voltage up or down and protects circuits during faults. Utilities, EPCs and industrial buyers source these products for grid reinforcement and plant connections.
    9
    SCADA
    Supervisory control and data acquisition systems that monitor and control generation, substations and distribution networks. SCADA and grid-automation products are relevant to Kenya's push for a smarter, more reliable grid.
    10
    Last-mile electrification
    The final stage of connecting households and businesses to electricity, including distribution lines, meters, connections and off-grid alternatives. It is a policy priority in Kenya and a major theme for exhibitors serving county governments and utilities.
