Olkaria Geothermal Power Station
The Olkaria Geothermal Power Station is located in the Olkaria region of Kenya. It harnesses geothermal energy from the Earth's heat to generate electricity. The power station is part of the East African Rift system, which provides a significant source of geothermal resources.
Operational since the early 1980s, the Olkaria facility has expanded over the years and now consists of several units. It plays a crucial role in Kenya's energy mix, contributing to the country's goal of increasing renewable energy production and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
