Kenya ramped up electricity generation from geothermal sources by nearly 50 percent in the first quarter of this year, helping ease the impact of a sharp decline in output from the country’s hydro plants.
The latest data from Kenya Power show that electricity from geothermal wells jumped 46 percent to 1,506.33 Gigawatt hours (GWh) from 1,025 GWh in the corresponding period last year.
