Olkaria Geothermal Field

Electric power generation

Geothermal power development

Renewable energy source that experienced increased production in 2010 alongside solar and wind.

A renewable energy technology that harnesses heat from within the Earth to generate electricity. In Kenya's case, this is the primary focus of the World Bank-funded project.

Standardized, scalable geothermal power generation units designed for rapid deployment and flexible capacity expansion.

A geothermal power plant generating 140 megawatts, the world's largest single geothermal facility at the time of launch. Co-funded by the Kenyan Government, World Bank, European Investment Bank, and others at a cost of $126.5 million.

A 100 MW geothermal power generation facility utilizing underground steam from 22 geothermal wells in Menengai, opened as a green field by GDC in 2010.

Three independent power producers constructing modular 35 MW geothermal plants each at Menengai Crater Floor using a build-own-operate model, for a combined 105 MW capacity.
