Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has received a boost for its drilling operations after the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF) awarded the government a grant of Sh1.9 billion.
The funds are meant for geothermal exploration in the larger Baringo-Silali block.
Currently, GDC is drilling for geothermal steam at Paka. In August, the company struck a successful first well that confirmed the area as productive.
The entire Baringo-Silali project is estimated to have 3,000 MW of geothermal steam.
