The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) #ticker:KEGN has kicked off the search for consultants to determine the viability of extracting minerals such as silica and lithium from geothermal fluids in a revenue diversification bid.
The State-owned power producer in a tender notice Tuesday said the consultant will help it assess the feasibility of extraction for commercial use from the hot brines (geothermal hot waters) — the waste stream that geothermal power plants pump out of the ground.
