KNT Keney | Video News Report | – –

“Kenya is set to become the sixth largest producer of geothermal power in the world after it broke ground for the construction of the Olkaria 5 power plant. The new plant will add an additional 150 mw of power to the grid as well to ensure Kenya becomes less dependent on hydropower.”

KTN: “Kenya to become the sixth largest producer of geothermal power”

Wikipedia:

“Geothermal power is very cost-effective in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, East Africa. Kenya was the first African country to build geothermal energy sources. The Kenya Electricity Generating Company, which is 74% state-owned, has built three plants to exploit the Olkaria geothermal resource . . . Kenya currently has 636 MW of installed geothermal capacity . . . By 2030 Kenya aims to have 5,530 MW of geothermal power or 26% of total capacity.[1] This will make it Kenya’s largest source of electricity clean energy by 2030.”
