The Menengai III Geothermal Power Station is a {{convert|35|MW|abbr=on}} geothermal power plant under construction in Kenya.[2]

Location

The power plant is located in the Menengai Crater, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi), north of Nakuru, the location of the district headquarters. This is approximately 185 kilometres (115 mi), by road, northwest of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in Kenya. The coordinates of Menengai Crater are:0°11'43.0"S, 36°04'54.0"E (Latitude:-0.195276; Longitude:36.081678).[3]

Overview

Geothermal Development Company (GDC), a geothermal development company, wholly owned by the Kenyan government has drilled geothermal wells in the Menengai Crater, whose total capacity can generate up to {{convert|130|MW|abbr=on}} of electric energy.

GDC will sell the steam to three independent power producers (IPPs) to build three geothermal power stations, each with capacity of {{convert|35|MW|abbr=on}}. The power stations are:[4][5]

  1. Menengai I Geothermal Power Station - Owned by Orpower Twenty Two
  2. Menengai II Geothermal Power Station - Owned by Quantum Power East Africa
  3. Menengai III Geothermal Power Station - Owned by Sosian Energy

The Menengai IPP power projects are expected to come online during the second half of 2017.[1]

Ownership

Menengai III Geothermal Power Station is owned by Sosian Energy Limited, a Kenyan independent power producer (IPP).[6]
