in execution of their core mandate - Power Distribution. </div>

<div class="yiv2613703735MsoNormal">From a product perspective, this project appears to be motivated by a vertical integration move by Kenya Power. Backward to be able to better utilise the power grid infrastructure vide riding the fibre on the existing power grid, Forward
to be able to bundle solutions (power & data) to the already existing customers. Due to the economies of scale and already existing infrastructure (distribution, subscription, customer service) this is a welcome move which if well managed will lead to reduced
product costs(both power & data), higher penetration and efficiencies through reduced redundancies and customer service. For this benefits to be achieved, the process needs to be creatively implemented devoid of regulatory and political interference. </div>
