Modular Geothermal Power Plant (35 MW)

Geothermal power development

Electricity generation

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

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.

Nakuru County

GDC's major geothermal well drilling and development program at Menengai Crater Floor, with 43 wells sunk and 24 tested, yielding 165 MW of confirmed capacity.

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.

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.
