My article in this column last week was on how Kenyan firms with oil and gas experience and capacity can venture into the fast growing natural gas developments in Mozambique. This is what Kengen, the Kenyan power generating firm, has done in Ethiopia where the company is “exporting” its geothermal technical capacity gained over years.
And this is indeed a good story because, firstly it proves that Kenya has sufficiently matured its geothermal technical “local content” to international standards. And secondly because Kengen will earn foreign exchange for Kenya while providing external contracting exposure to its employees.
