Kenya electricity generating company has struck 33 megawatts of geothermal power in its Olkaria wells further boosting the country’s effort to produce affordable and sustainable electricity. The well comes months after the company struck 30 megawatts from a single well in the same field. The new well-pad, which is among the biggest in the country, firmly positions Kenya as a major geothermal power producer. Geothermal peaked last year to become the main source of electricity following commissioning of 280 megawatts from Ol Karia one to four, and now controls 48 percent of the national power production mix. To accelerate its geothermal power production programme, Kengen has also resorted to mobile wellhead plants which are faster to deploy with fourteen of such wellheads expected to be complete by 2016.
