But here’s the twist: the recommendation was never implemented.

Instant showers remain common; especially in urban homes.

Kenya's energy challenges still persist.

As population & energy demand grows, the discussion about banning or regulating instant showers may resurface.

The report recommended:
- Ban import & use of instant hot showers
- Switch to safer, more stable alternatives like Solar Water Heaters (SWH)
- Enforce Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for all water heating devices

Saving energy is cheaper than generating more.

What happens during peak demand?
- Voltage drops
- The power producer has to switch on expensive backup plants
- The cost of electricity increases
- Risk of localized blackouts rises

All because of a few minutes of synchronized showering.

Two concepts to understand the problem:
- Total power generation (kWh): the electricity Kenya produces
- Peak demand: the moments when consumption suddenly spikes

Even if the total energy is enough, these peaks stress the grid.

Here’s the key:
These showers draw 3 - 9 kW per unit depending on the model; and millions of households use them at the same time - mainly in the morning/evening.

This creates a massive, synchronized spike in electricity demand.

What they found was surprising:
Kenyan households, especially in Nairobi, were using electricity very inefficiently.

The biggest culprit?
Domestic water heating - mostly instant hot showers.

Around 2013, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum hired a German firm (Lahmeyer International) to plan Kenya’s 20-year energy future (2015–2035).

Their goal?
Make the national grid more reliable and efficient.

[Ernest Nyakundi 🇰🇪 @ernest_nyakundi]

Did you know the Kenyan government once considered banning instant hot showers?

Here’s that story 🧵

The coming month never came, mostly due to me procrastinating this review. But I'm sort of glad I did because I have learnt so much more about the ZC33S platform. I have done city drives, highway drives, road trips, tracked it, done some modifications as well.
