ELC Electroconsult is proud to announce that it has been awarded the consultancy contract to carry out the Feasibility Study for the Rehabilitation and Redevelopment of the Olkaria II Geothermal Power Plant and the Redevelopment of the Wellhead Units, a landmark project for Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen). Olkaria II, located in the Greater Olkaria Geothermal Field in Kenya’s Rift Valley, is one of the largest geothermal plants in Africa with an installed capacity of 105 MW. Commissioned in 2003/2004 (Units 1 & 2) and 2010 (Unit 3), the plant has been a cornerstone of Kenya’s renewable energy supply for over two decades. With its original Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) due to expire in 2028, KenGen has launched this feasibility study to evaluate rehabilitation and redevelopment options that will extend the plant’s life, optimize efficiency, and secure reliable power for the next 25 years. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with KenGen and with the support of international financing institutions. It represents a strategic step in Kenya’s Vision 2030 and its ambition to expand renewable energy while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. “We are honored to support KenGen in shaping the future of geothermal power in Olkaria,” said ELC Director Margo Righini. “ELC has been active in geothermal development worldwide for decades, and this assignment strengthens our commitment to delivering sustainable, innovative solutions in clean energy.” The Feasibility Study is expected to conclude with a bankable report, providing KenGen and its partners with clear pathways to maximize geothermal resource utilization, extend plant performance, and continue positioning Kenya as a global leader in geothermal power.
