@KenyaPower_Care @KenyaPower_Care power hasn’t been restored A/c Number 147190490 Katampoi area near the Ngong SGR train station. Seems like power was restored in some phases and we’re still experiencing low voltage. Kindly assist

[beatrice wanjiku @tudaises]

@KenyaPower_Care when you restore power make sure you restore in all phases. Still experiencing low voltage A/c Number 147190490.

[beatrice wanjiku @tudaises]

@KenyaPower_Care low power voltage katampoi, Kangawa A/c Number 147190490 kindly assist.

@KenyaPower_Care @KenyaPower_Care power outage A/c Number 147190490 . There doesn’t seem to be a scheduled interruption. Kindly assist!

[beatrice wanjiku @tudaises]

@KenyaPower_Care power outage A/c Number 147190490 due to a blown transformer. All day without electricity only for it to resume and then this happens kindly assist! Also your Ngong emergency lines are not working. This is clearly an emergency

[beatrice wanjiku @tudaises]

@KenyaPower_Care Hello A/c Number 147190490. Power resumed but the outage was so high it blew the transformer. Tried calling the Ngong emergency lines and they are not working. The entire neighborhood is in pitch darkness.

[beatrice wanjiku @tudaises]

@KenyaPower_Care power outage in the entire Kangawa Ngong area. And there was no scheduled interruption. Kindly assist

Everyone talks about Iranian oil in barrels. Nobody talks about what is inside them. That difference is why Western refineries have been running shadow networks through Dubai for twenty years to get it despite the sanctions.

Crude oil is not a uniform commodity. It is a spectrum of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and the composition of a given crude determines how easily it converts into the products refineries actually want to sell: gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil. The measurement that captures this is API gravity. Higher API gravity means lighter crude with shorter carbon chains, which means lower energy cost to crack, lower processing cost to refine, and higher yield of the light distillates that carry premium pricing. Lower API gravity means heavier crude requiring more energy, more processing steps, more capital equipment, and producing a higher share of lower-value residuals.

Iranian Light crude runs at 33 to 36 degrees API gravity with sulfur content between 1.36 and 1.5 percent. That is the refinery sweet spot. It is light enough to yield high fractions of gasoline and middle distillates without excessive processing costs, but heavy enough to produce the full range of products that complex refineries are designed to process. It is what petroleum engineers call an optimal blend crude.

Now compare the alternatives.

Venezuelan Merey heavy crude runs at approximately 16 degrees API gravity with sulfur between 3 and 5 percent. Refining it profitably requires a coking unit, a hydrocracker, and an extensive desulfurization train. The equipment exists. The economics work for refineries purpose-built around Venezuelan feedstock. It is not a substitute for Iranian crude. It is a different product requiring different industrial infrastructure.

US West Texas Intermediate runs at 39 to 40 degrees API with sulfur below 0.25 percent. In theory, the cleanest and easiest crude to process. In practice, it is so light that it does not yield the heavier middle distillates a complex refinery needs to run at full capacity. European and Asian refineries built around medium crudes cannot switch to WTI without blending it with heavier crudes to achieve the molecular weight distribution their process units require. WTI is not a drop-in replacement for Iranian medium.

Iranian oil fits where both US shale and Venezuelan heavy do not. It is the liquid that flows through the middle of the global refining system without requiring either the coking infrastructure for heavy crudes or the blending operations for ultra-light shale. That molecular fit is why it commands a persistent premium above comparable grades. It is why Indian refineries maintained Iranian crude purchases through every round of sanctions and negotiated the logistics to keep that flow moving. It is why the Dubai shadow banking and trading network that the UAE is now considering dismantling existed in the first place.

The Strait of Hormuz does not just carry oil. It carries the specific category of oil that the global refining system was built to process most efficiently. Closing it does not just reduce supply. It removes the grade of crude that the system runs best on and forces every refinery in the world to run less efficiently on whatever it can find as a substitute.

That is the premium embedded in the $82 oil price. Not just volume. Molecular weight.

@KenyaPower_Care @KenyaPower_Care we have had no lights since 9am there doesn’t seem to have been a scheduled interruption for Ngong and even if we were affected being in the adjacent environs it usually states it’s from 9-5pm. A/c Number 147190490 Kangawa. Kindly assist

Enyewe kutetea serikali za zingine ni ngumu. How do you install speed bumps on an already traffic ridden road pale maasai schools? The traffic snarl up from Ngong town to Karen is insane🤨! then kurudi you find zikibomolewa like seriously what are we doing????@KenyanTraffic
