Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has struck steam at the Silali field, marking a significant milestone in unlocking a new frontier of renewable energy for Kenya.
Silali is part of three fields, including Korosi and Paka, which are part of the Baringo- Silali -Paka Geothermal project, where GDC has been drilling wells for the past seven years in the geothermal-rich region.
GDC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Paul Ngugi says the success is a major boost in the State Corporation’s quest to provide Kenya with affordable and reliable energy.
The first viable well at the Baringo-Silali-Paka Geothermal project was struck at the Paka field in 2020.
“This is an exciting time for GDC and Kenya. It has proved the viability of the Silali geothermal field, ushering Kenya into an age of vibrant geothermal energy,” said Mr. Ngugi
