- This will help KenGen generate power at a faster rate and at a reduced cost.
- The mobile wellheads can generate power at a lower cost-per-megawatt and at a faster rate than standard geothermal projects.
- KenGen CEO Albert Mugo said that the company will complete the final tests on the fourteen mobile geothermal wellheads in December 2015.
- Geothermal wellheads are units which are quick to deploy and allow the tapping of geothermal wells almost immediately after drilling.
