Legislators have ordered Kenya Power to issue a termination notice of its deal with Africa Geothermal International by the mid this month over the firm's continued delays in starting exploration of geothermal power on an allocated block.

The MPS demanded that Kenya Power issue a 30-day termination notice for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed in 2015 to allow KenGen to start prospecting for geothermal on the block allocated to the private power producer in Nakuru County.
