The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) risks losing Sh69 billion on steam wells and associated infrastructure after three Independent Power Producers (IPPs) failed to secure a guarantee or a letter of support from the government.

The three IPPs have for the last seven years failed to secure the Treasury backing to finalise the signing of the power purchase agreement for the power plants development under the Menengai Phase I Project.
