The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has demanded $79 million (Sh10.3 billion) in tax claims from US geothermal power company, Ormat Technologies for the five years between 2017 and 2022.

The company has disclosed that its subsidiary in Kenya, OrPower 4, received the tax claim in April and excludes any potential interest and penalties, exposing it to a huge tax liability if proven.
