We are a Kenyan Independent Power Producer currently developing a 140 MW Geothermal Power plant in the Elementaita area
Although we are primarily a geothermal energy producer and operator, focusing on harnessing sustainable energy sources, we are also actively pursuing diverse ventures encompassing industrial park development and extraction of construction materials.
Since
Geothermal Energy is not impacted upon by whether it is day or night like solar energy, and weather conditions like wind and solar power. On average, a geothermal power plant will produce energy for around 8,600 hours a year. We can therefore describe the rate of geothermal energy production as constant, making it more easily predicable and plannable.
Unlike the majestic expanses of large wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, geothermal power plants only require modest amounts of space. Regardless of whether it is a domestic system or a large-scale plant, most of the components (including the heat exchangers) are buried underground, with very little remaining above ground.
Geothermal power optimizes resources. On the one hand, the plants have components that can be salvaged and reused at the end of the installation’s lifecycle. On the other, during operation, the flows are organized in such a way as to put any heat that can’t be used immediately back into the circuit using the steam pipes that power the plant, helping to save energy.
