Large Investments to Drive Kenya Power Sector: Ken Research

Kenya is the fourth largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa and performing well in generation of power for population and per-capita GDP. The power sector in Kenya was privatized in 1998. Kenya power and lighting company (KPLC) is responsible for the transmission, distribution and sale of electricity throughout the country.

The interconnected system in Kenya has a total installed capacity of 1,533 megawatts (MW) made up of 761.0 MW of hydro, 525 MW of thermal, 198 MW of geothermal, 5.45 MW of wind , 26MW from cogeneration and 17MW of isolated grid. In addition, the total effective capacity is 1,515 MW during normal hydrology and registered interconnected national sustained peak demand is 1,183 MW.

According to study, “Kenya Power Market Outlook to 2030, Update 2018 - Market Trends, Regulations, and Competitive Landscape” some of the major companies that are currently working in the Kenya power market are Plexus energy Ltd, Power Gen renewable energy, KenolKobil, Kenya Electricity Generating Company, Umeme, Kenital solar, Mercury engineering services, Solagen power Ltd, Vivo energy Kenya.

In Kenya, the main source of power supply is hydro electricity and fossil fuels. Hydro-energy is used to generate electricity by making water fall on large turbines from a great height.Hydroelectric power in country currently accounts for about 49% of installed capacity, which is about 761MW.Hydro power comprises about 60 per cent of the installed capacity and is obtained from various Kenya electricity generation company (KenGen) stations. Apart from this wind power is the most mature in terms of commercial development. The most recent investments in wind energy are to be developed by independent power producers (610 MW), Lake Turkana wind (300MW), Aeolus kinangop wind (60MW), osiwongong (60MW), aperture green ngong (60MW). Recently, local production and marketing of small wind generators also has been started and few pilot projects are also under consideration.

The Kenyan power system has continued to expand thermal plants to mitigate shortfalls and to provide peaking capacity in the long term. The new plants are expected to be able to switch from diesel and kerosene to natural gas in future. Natural gas will be obtainable alongside the recently discovered oil reserves. The nuclear power is also considered a potential long-term option for electricity generation. Nuclear generating units are characterized by high capital investment and low operating costs and normally serve as base load units. It is generally projected that in 2022 Kenya will have a nuclear plant having a generation capacity of 1000MW.

Country faces a range of challenges to financing the power sector and attracting commercial capital, which are; financing ecosystem for commercial capital, High GoK financial exposure to the energy sector, opaque or inconsistent processes which make securing financing difficult, insufficient financing models for state-owned enterprises, lack of affordable financing for private off-grid developers, high infrastructure development costs, long lead-time required to implement energy projects, over reliance on hydropower, high cost of energy, inability to deliver adequate energy to meet national needs and low investments in the sector. KenGen is the main player in electricity generation, with a current installed capacity of 1,176MW of electricity. It is owned 70% by the Government of Kenya and 30% by private shareholders. The Company accounts for about 75% of the installed capacity from various power generation sources that include hydropower, thermal, geothermal and wind.

Country is expected to be energy independent very soon. In the upcoming years there will be an extreme investment, change in government’s policies in favor of these resources and auctions which are expected to promote electricity generation from renewable. There are several opportunities existing for the transmission system to connect the remote areas. The Transmission build-outs and solutions are expected to ensure supply/demand balance which have good potential in Kenya. Electricity delivery and demand side management solutions as smart grid deployments are expected to advance in the future period.

Primary Immune Deficiency Market Research Report: Ken Research

According to study, “Primary Immune Deficiency (PID) - Pipeline Review, H2 2018” some of the major players that are working in the primary immune deficiency are Biotest AG, Cellective Bio TherapyInc, ADMA Biologics Inc, Casebia Therapeutics, Genethon SA, GC Pharma, GigaGenIncm, Novartis AG, Leadiant Biosciences Inc, Octa pharma AG, Sangamo Therapeutics Inc, ProMetic Life Sciences Inc, Shire Plc, Therapure BiopharmaInc, Taiga Biotechnologies Inc, UCB SA, X4 Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Primary immunodeficiency (PTD) is a large group of disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or does not function normally. It allows infections and other health problems to occur more easily. Some forms of PID are usually hereditary while some disorders are not recognized until adulthood. There are many signs and symptoms of deficiency such as blood disorders, digestive problems, delayed growth & development, autoimmune disorders, frequent & recurrent pneumonia, ear& skin infection and inflammation & infection of internal organs etc.

PIDs are classifies into many categories according to the component of the immune system such as T cell deficiencies, B cell deficiency, combination B & T cell deficiency, complement deficiencies and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency etc. T cell deficiency is caused by decreased function of individual T cell. T cell’s normal function is to help with the human body’s immunity. B cell deficiency is caused by a lack of infection-fighting producing B cells or immunoglobulin that is not functioning properly. Combined B-cell and T-cell immunodeficiency is a group of medical disorders that are the result of genetic defects in cellular and humoral immunity, also called severe combined immunodeficiency.

There are many complications are involved in PID such as recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, damage to (heart, lungs, nervous system or digestive tract), slowed growth, increased risk of cancer and death from serious infection. There are many drug profiles are involved in primary immune deficiency, which are; BT-595, aldesleukin, cell therapyfor RAG deficient, cellular immunotherapy, gene therapy for x-linked SCID, elapegademase, gene therapy to activate IL2RG for x-linked SCID, hyaluronidase & immune globulin, OTL-101, RI-002, RPL-201, seletalisib, stem cell therapy to activate IL2RG for SCID-X1, TBX-1400, strimvelis and X-4P001.

BIVIGAM is an intravenous immune globulin indicated for the treatment of primary humeral immunodeficiency. It includes agammaglobulinemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and severe combined immunodeficiency. BIVIGAM is a purified, sterile, ready-to-use preparation of concentrated polyclonal immunoglobulin antibodies. Antibodies are proteins in the human immune system that work to defend against infections and disease. In June 2018, ADMA optimized the production process for BIVIGAM and submitted a prior approval supplement to the United States food & drug administration to amend the biologics license application with a target action under the prescription drug user fee act. If prior approval supplement is approved by the food & drug administration. The immunodeficiency can be subtle and vary in presentation which involves recurrent or unusual infections, malignancies or autoimmune phenomena.Primary care providers assess and treat PID's patients a clinical immunologist can advise on further diagnostic tests and management of patients. Collaborative patient care among health care providers can save patient lives and improve long-term outcomes.

At present, there is no single assay that identifies all forms of PID. Therefore need a challenge of current newborn screening paradigms andit is estimated that PID will involve up-front next generation sequencing.
