AFREPREN/FWD Table 2: Geothermal Power Exploitation in Kenya Country Kenya Potential generation (MW) 2000 Installed Capacity (MW) 127 Available (MW) 127 Source: MoE, 2007; BCSE, 2003; Fridleifsson, 2001. Out of the total 127 MW installed capacity, Kenya Electricity Generating Company, KenGen - a public utility – has an installed capacity of 115 MW and OrPower Inc.; an independent power producer has installed 12 MW commissioned in 2000. Currently, the plants meet 11% of the total national electricity supply (MoE, 2008). In addition, geothermal has boosted energy security, as it is available 100% of the time and at one time constituted an important alternative to hydropower during the 1999 – 2000 drought experienced in Kenya. Geothermal energy use in Kenya has led to significant socio-economic benefits for the country. Currently, a workforce of 493 persons is deployed at the Olkaria power stations. This corresponds to about 4 jobs per MW. A crude estimate of additional jobs related to geothermal energy was made on the basis of generating 504 MW by 2019. Assuming that geothermal development creates on average four jobs per MW in plant and infrastructure construction and 1.7 jobs per MW in operation and maintenance, it was estimated that 2,016 construction jobs would be created in fifteen years. A further 856 jobs would be created in operation and maintenance (Mbuthi, 2005). Geothermal energy use has also contributed to poverty reduction, although there is significant unexploited potential for increasing the positive impact of geothermal on poor communities, especially in the areas where geothermal is harnessed. For instance, a geothermal heat resource is being used on a pilot basis in a horticultural farm near Lake Naivasha to control night-time humidity levels in order to reduce the incidence of fungal diseases. Geothermal power has also been successfully exploited in northern African countries, using geothermal fluid for irrigation of oases as well as heating and irrigation of greenhouses.
