#TBT to Nov 2023 when #TeamGDC Principal Technician Fredrick Ogada (second right) demonstrated how the Magnetotelluric (MT) method works to #GROGTPShortCourseVII participants. This technique uses natural signals from the earth to help map geothermal resources deep underground.

GDC’s projects at Paka, Silali and Menengai aren’t just power hubs. They’re inspiring a continent. Delegations from across Africa continue to visit, drawn by the promise of clean, reliable energy and the lessons Kenya has to offer. #Steam17

#DYK The Steam Gathering System (SGS) in Menengai forms the backbone of geothermal operations, carrying steam from deep wells to nearby power plants. Here are some quick facts about this engineering marvel. Which one has impressed you the most? Comment below.

‘GDC has grown into a key player on both continental and global stages, making notable advancements in exploration, drilling & resource assessment.’ - Hon. Walter O. Nyambati Chairman, GDC Board of Directors. #Steam17

#FBF to February 2025. Meet Geochemistry Technician Rahel Baya in action, preparing steam samples from Menengai for chemical analysis. Why? To ensure the steam we provide to power plants is clean, safe, and meets the requirements for delivering reliable green energy.

The team was briefed on GDC’s mandate, milestones & approach to sustainable geothermal development. The delegation later toured Menengai. This visit is part of SSTC GEO, a partnership that promotes knowledge sharing & deepens geothermal collaboration between the three countries.

Today, we hosted a delegation from the Kenya-Germany-Indonesia South-South Triangular Cooperation (SSTC), joined by officials from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, @EPRA_Ke, @KenGenKenya, GIZ Kenya, and @GAK_Kenya.

Africa holds over 20,000 MWe in geothermal potential. Yet less than 5% has been tapped. What’s holding us back, and how can we change that? #Steam17

'The Menengai 105 MW Geothermal Project is a textbook example of how intelligently structured public-private partnerships (PPPs) can deliver transformative infrastructure while maintaining fiscal prudence.' - GDC MD & CEO, Mr. Paul Ngugi. #Steam17

Eng. Moses Kachumo had the rare honour of presenting GDC’s geothermal operations to H.E. President, Dr. William Samoei Ruto, CGH. A nervous start turned into a proud, career-defining moment as the President listened intently & praised his briefing #Steam17

#TBT to February this year. GDC Drilling Team prepares the tongs to connect drill pipe sections during geothermal drilling operations in Menengai. Menengai Geothermal Project, estimated to harbour a potential of 1600MW, was started in 2009.

A school in the hills of Paka is getting a bold new start, thanks to GDC. By adopting the Chepungus Model School, GDC and partners are transforming a school into a beacon of opportunity. Catch the full story here #Steam17

Geothermal enables Kenya to access cheap climate finance to pursue its own development agenda. - Henry Paul Batchi Baldeh, director for power systems development at the African Development Bank.

She may not wear a hard hat, but Mwende is critical to GDC’s drilling operations. Through her dedication to keeping the team’s clothing spotless, she ensures our drill crews stay clean, comfortable & focused in the field. Read her full story here #STEAM17

The operation marked yet another milestone in unlocking the vast geothermal potential of the Menengai field, driving Kenya closer to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

#TBT to March 2025, when a dedicated #TeamGDC Geothermal Resource Management team successfully opened the master valve to discharge a well at the Menengai Geothermal Project.

#DYK our geothermal Steam Gathering System (SGS) carries steam that reaches temperatures of up to 160°C. This high-pressure steam travels through insulated pipes from the wells to the power plants, where it’s converted into clean, renewable electricity for Kenya's national grid.
