Recognising the parallels between New Zealand and Kenyan indigenous cultural beliefs in geothermal activity, Power Africa and its partners, the United States Energy Association (USEA) and the U.S. Geothermal Energy Association (GEA), facilitated a year-long exchange programme to share best-practice strategies with Kenyan power company, KenGen, to implement with local Maasai populations.
Representatives of Ngati Tahu and Contact recently returned from their second exchange to Kenya (and fourth exchange in total), where the team have been working with Maasai communities and KenGen, to support both parties in growing their relationships around the geothermal resource in Olkaria.
