The 5000+MW power project is not the only ambitious energy prospect by the country. The government has announced plans to develop a total of 1,646 mega watts of geothermal power in forty months.
This, though a bit ambitious, the president who launched the 5000+MWA power project pointed that it was achievable.
He pointed that this would ensure escalating geothermal power production and ensuring that it played a more significant role in meeting the total electricity demand in the country.
The government is also seeking to invest in other cheaper and available energy sources among them coal and natural gas.
”Introduction of large scale natural gas and coal fired plants in the 480MW range will also bring in unprecedented economies of scale in power generation…”, noted the president.
There’s only 240MW of geothermal power exploited in the country out of the possible 10,000MW.
