The national output of hydro-electricity decreased by 3.52% due to abnormally low precipitation, despite the construction of new dams to increase generation capacity by 6.69% in 2011 [8].
Kenya aims to increase generation capacity by 5000 MW by 2016 and by 23,000 MW by 2030 (Government of Kenya 2007; USAID 2015).
Due to the increasing generation capacity of intermittent renewable electricity sources and an electrical grid ill-equipped to handle the mismatch between electricity generation and use, the need for advanced energy storage technologies will continue to grow.
We've more than doubled the amount of renewable electricity we produce, and increased renewables generation capacity threefold.
This suggests that the effects of increased tidal generation capacity and decreased wind generation capacity by the same amount are offset after their ratio is beyond 1.38.
Looking ahead to this year, Mr Liebreich said that he expected to see a slowing in the growth rate of investment in clean energy, yet he did expect to see a marked increased in generation capacity.
Power system short-circuit fault current level has kept rising due to a variety of reasons, such as the increasing demand for electricity with economic development [1, 2], increasing installed generation capacity of power systems, increasing construction of the transmission network, etc.
North Korea also plans to increase electricity generation capacity by building coal-fired power plants and hydropower plants, and to increase transmission capacity by extending grids to all secondary cities.
"This would add greater resilience to the power and propulsion system by increasing electrical generation capacity".
China's reliance on coal – it is the largest consumer and producer – peaked in 2013, according to the data, and its falling coal consumption and increasing renewable generation capacity will "transform the global outlook".
