Geothermal is set to become the country’s main source of electricity largely due to the country’s massive potential estimated at 7,000MW of power, which is five times the current national electricity consumption.
According to the power generator’s projections, the total output from geothermal is pegged at 675 Megawatts of power by 2015.
KenGen is generating 115 megawatts from Geothermal at the Olkaria plant in Naivasha.
