Kenya has cemented its position as Africa's geothermal leader. The Olkaria geothermal complex in Naivasha now generates over 900MW, making Kenya one of the top ten geothermal producers globally.
The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) recently commissioned a new 140MW unit at Olkaria V, bringing total geothermal capacity to a record high. Officials say the expansion will help meet growing industrial demand and reduce electricity costs for consumers.
"We are exporting clean energy technology to our neighbours," said KenGen CEO Rebecca Miano. "Kenya's renewable energy story is one the world should be watching."
