Sosian Energy, One of the beneficiary family members of one late President Daniel Arap Moi was among the sub-divided projects and this is expected to be the Marsabit County Wind Project, Kenya.The latest project. This is in addition to the 1,000 MW current power that we have over a total of five firms (which complimented our power). Furthermore this can be a root of the country’ s electricity over-generation as well.
A letter to the EPS of Sosian Energy Co. written by Alex Wachira of KenGen sets out the company’s plan to develop the 50 MW wind farm jointly with the nextFTES KenGen firm. Among this project’s associates a such companies are Gitson Energy from UK, Kenya Mudhe Wind Power from EU and Igitation Energy Company based on Portugal.
Marsabit County is one of the top counties in terms of wind power generation, having the largest wind power installed two hundred and seventy-five megawatts (310 MW) at Lake Turkana Wind Power plant. Therefore, the county has become one of the major contributors to the national grid which is vital for solving the problem of the power blackouts in the country.
Combined Capacity
The creating wind plants proposed in December, for instance, the 300 MW ones, would give out an estimated joint capacity of 26.9% contribution to the total installed power capacity in Kenya, which was around 3,713.4 MW as of June of the previous year (from June data from the previous year). Comes as a period where the country is moving to its highest energy consumption of 2,177.13Mw at 19:00hours. On the one hand, this implies more peaking power plants from the era of the real demand.
Mr. Wachira’s letter is a knowledgeable letter that plays a crucial role of pointing out the value of partnership as well as demonstrates the projects that the County of Marsabit already has and will have in future. KenGen, Gitson Energy and Kenya Mudhe Wind Power each have plans for a 300MW wind farm facility with Ignite Energy intending its 50MW micro plant. |
