Гитару (ГЭС)

Гитару — действующая гидроэлектростанция в Кении, расположенная на реке Тана. Её мощность составляет 225 мегаватт. Строительство началось в 1975 году, а завершилось в 1978-м. Однако электростанция была введена в строй лишь в 1999 году. США выделила на её строительство через Всемирный банк 63 миллиона долларов. Владельцем гидроэлектростанции является основанная в 1954 году компания KenGen, которая вырабатывает до 72% всей электроэнергии в Кении. 30-метровая плотина электростанции сдерживает около 16 миллионов кубометров воды. Длина плотины составляет 580 метров. Вырабатывают электроэнергию два генератора по 72 мегаватт и один на 81 мегаватт. Реактивные турбины относятся к радиально-осевому типу. Инцидент 2016 года В 2016 году на электростанции произошёл курьёзный инцидент. На территорию станции через забор под высоким напряжением неизвестно каким образом пробралась обезьяна. Животное бегало по крыше здания, однако не удержалось и упало в трансформатор. В результате этого произошла перегрузка агрегатов и станция потеряла около 180 мегаватт, что привело к аварии в энергосистеме на всей территории Кении. Сама обезьяна осталась цела, и её забрали защитники животных из организации Kenya Wildlife Service. Примечания Ссылки Гидроэлектростанция Гитару на официальном сайте компании KenGen
ГЕС Гітару

Гітару — діюча гідроелектростанція у Кенії, що розташована на річці Тана між ГЕС Камбуру та ГЕС Кіндарума. Її потужність становить 225 мегават. Будівництво розпочалось 1975 року і завершилось 1978-го, проте електростанція була введена в дію лише 1999 року. США виділили на її будівництво через Світовий банк 63 мільйона доларів. Власником гідроелектростанції є заснована у 1954 році компанія KenGen, яка виробляє до 72 % усієї електроенергії в Кенії. 30-метрова гребля електростанції стримує близько 16 мільйонів кубометрів води. Довжина греблі становить 580 метрів. Виробляють електроенергію два генератори по 72 мегават та один по 81 мегават. Реактивні турбіни відносяться до радіально-осевого типу. У 2016 році на електростанції мав місце курйозний інцидент. На територію станції через паркан під високою напругою невідомо як пробралася мавпа. Тварина бігала по даху будівлі, проте не втрималась і впала в трансформатор. У результаті цього сталося перевантаження агрегатів і станція втратила до 180 мегават, що призвело до блекауту на всій території Кенії. Сама мавпа залишилась цілою; її забрали захисники тварин з організації Kenya Wildlife Service.

Gretsa University

Gretsa University is a private university in Thika Municipality in Kenya that provides certificate, diploma and degree programmes. History Gretsa University opened in September 2006 after receiving the Letter of Interim Authority from the Commission for Higher Education in May 2006. The university began with three degree programmes in Business, Computer Science and Hospitality Management. The third class of degree students graduated in December 2012. In 2018, the university was audited as part of an investigation into allegations that Mombasa governor Hassan Joho's degree from the school was fraudulent. The audit uncovered unrelated grading fraud that led the Commission of University Education to recommend revoking the university's Letter of Interim Authority. In November 2025, Gretsa was awarded a full charter by the Kenyan government, replacing the interim authority that it had been operating under since 2006. It became the 31st private charted university in Kenya.

ТЕС Найробі-Соуз

ТЕС Найробі-Соуз — теплова електростанція в Кенії, розташована у східній частині столиці країни Найробі. У 1997 році компанія Iberafrica Power (належить іспанській Gas Natural Fenosa) запустила в роботу на площадці станції перші вісім дизель-генераторів виробництва Niigata потужністю по 5,7 МВт. В 2005-му до них додали два генератори виробництва фінської компанії Wartsila одиничною потужністю 6,1 МВт. А в 2009 році реалізували проект зі спорудження Найробі-Соуз II, що складалася з семи установок тієї ж компанії Wartsila потужністю по 7,7 МВт (можливо відзначити, що це відбувалось на тлі чергової кризи енергопостачання в країні, і тоді ж розташована неподалік тимчасова ТЕС Ембакасі досягла своєї пікової потужності).

Alten Solar Power Station

Alten Solar Power Station, also Kesses 1 Solar Power Station, is a 44 megawatts (59,000 hp) solar power plant in Kenya, the largest economy in the East African Community. Location The power station is located outside the city of Eldoret, in Uasin Gishu County, approximately 312 kilometres (194 mi), by road, north-west of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in Kenya. The solar farm will sit on approximately 10 hectares (25 acres) of former farmland, approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi), south-east of Eldoret and about one kilometer east of Eldosol Solar Power Station and Radiant Solar Power Station. Overview Kenya has ambitions to electrify 100 percent of the country's population, up from 70 percent in 2017. This development and the 50 megawatt Kopere Solar Power Station, together with the 55 megawatt Garissa Solar Power Station, owned by Kenya Rural Electrification Authority, are aimed to diversify Kenya electricity sources, given the unpredictability of hydro-power in this East African country. This power station is expected to supply 123 GWh of energy annually, enough to meet the energy needs of over 245,000 Kenyan homes. Developers The power station is owned by Alten Energías Renovables (Alten Renewable Energy), a European independent power producer with two other solar project developments in Kenya, Kesses 2 and Kopere. Alten notified Kenyan authorities that the French company Voltalia was selected by the owners to carry out the construction as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, as well as the operations and maintenance (O&M) contractor for the plant. The power is sold to electricity distributor Kenya Power and Lighting Company via a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA). Funding Standard Bank of South Africa, Stanbic Bank of Kenya and CIB Bank jointly provided a syndicated loan of US$41 million. The Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF) of the United Kingdom lent US$35 million towards his project. Transmission The 230kV high voltage transmission line between Turkwel Hydroelectric Power Station and the Kenya Power substation at Lessos, passes over this solar farm. The power generated at this solar farm will be injected into the Kenyan grid at the point where that 230kV line crosses the solar farm. Construction timeline Construction started in January 2020, with commissioning expected in late 2021 or early 2022. In September 2022, Afrik21.africa reported that the installation of the power station hardware was complete. After the mandatory performance tests and calibrations, the solar farm was expected to come online during the fourth quarter of 2022. The solar farm was commercially commissioned with a capacity of 44 MW in June 2023.

Nairobi Railway Museum

The Nairobi Railway Museum is a railway museum in Nairobi, Kenya, adjacent to Nairobi railway station. Containing exhibits from the defunct East African Railways, it was opened in 1971 by East African Railways and Harbours Corporation. It is operated by Kenya Railways. The museum has maintained its rail connection. This allows for the efficient movement of museum exhibits for maintenance and placing items in the collection. The three operational steam locomotives are stored securely under cover within the main railway works. Visitors must request an appointment to view them. They have not been used for several years. One of the display locomotives, 301 (2301) was used in the 1985 movie, Out of Africa. The museum's collection also includes early diesel locomotives and passenger coaches. Friends of the Railway Museum East Africa (FORM East Africa), a concern encompassing Railway and Locomotive enthusiasts, has assisted in sourcing and securing artifacts for the museum. In January 2011, a working miniature railway was installed to enhance activity at the museum. This miniature train was formerly used to promote Kenya Railways (KR) on exhibitions, such as the Nairobi Show. It consists of a locomotive with a petrol-engine, and several coaches made of wood. Exhibited locomotives The museum exhibits a number of engines, including: The museum's WG Bagnall engine, Hugh F Marriott, was built in Stafford, England, in 1951.
