THE STANDARD By Fredrick Obura | April 4th 2021 at 02:10:00 GMT +0300 KenGen MD Rebecca Miano NAIROBI, KENYA: KenGen has embarked on a strategy aimed at aiding partners around the African continent to exploit green energy resources. Currently, a partnership proposal to drill geothermal wells in Rwanda is under discussion. In February 2019, KenGen was among the consortium of companies awarded Sh7.6 billion contract to drill geothermal wells for the Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) in Aluto, Ethiopia. This was quickly followed by yet another deal to drill twelve geothermal wells in October 2019. The latter contract worth $56.9 million was entered with Tulu Moye Geothermal Operations (TMGO) PLC, an independent power producer in the eastern region of Ethiopia, as part of a World Bank-financed project. The contract involves the supply of drilling materials and provision of operations, maintenance services and geoscientific survey. KenGen is also to install a water supply system and equipment.
