Description
Description | Kenya has pledged to expand its electrical grid capacity to 10,000 MW by 2030, focusing on geothermal energy development in the Rift Valley. The project aims to add approximately 6,700 MW of new geothermal capacity to the current 950 MW. However, the plan faces significant challenges including high capital expenditure estimated at KES 2.3 trillion ($17.8 billion), geological development timelines of 5 to 7 years per geothermal field, and global supply chain bottlenecks for specialized drilling rigs. |
