If I remember correctly there are two relevant electrical code requirements: a) with respect to the periphery of all floors there may be no point more than 36" (or is it 24"?) from an outlet, a requirement with which I rigorously complied. By measuring the distances between existing installed outlets, you can ascertain exactly what the requirement is.

b) For the kitchen counters there are two relevant requirements.

b1) Horizontal outlets flush with the kitchen counter top are prohibited.

b2) Outlets on the kitchen counter may not be more than 24 inches apart.  Customarily counters are designed with a three inch backsplash into which the electrical outlets are mounted. Arguably I made a mistake when I selected windows so large that they leave no space for a backsplash and its outlets.  When I wired the kitchen, I placed the required outlets into the wall under the level of the counter top. I also placed outlets above countertop level on either side of the windows. Since this installation has been approved, it is arguable that this approval should not now be rescinded. 

b3) If I were managing the finishing of the kitchen, I would install a countertop covered with formica or linoleum which can easily be perforated with an electric drill. I would then purchase two or more power strips with 2, 3 or 4 ft cords. I would surface mount these power strips either on the rear edge of the counter or on the wooden studs between the windows. I would obtain power for the strips by plugging their extensions into the outlets on either side of the windows.  If and when there were an electrical inspection, this arrangement might not meet the inspectors approval. I would be prepared to make whatever changes the inspector required. I can think of 3 options. 

b4) One could drill the counter and plug the power strips into the outlets below the counter. 

b5) One could surface mount conventional outlets in metal boxes on the rear edge of the counter or on the studs between the windows.

b6) One could install a backsplash on the back of the counter, blocking the lower edge of the windows, and making provision for access to the cranks by which the windows are opened.

b7) Unless and until any arrangement had been approved by the Inspector, I would NOT install a granite counter top, which would preclude making changes without much expense.
