The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KENGEN) has announced a plan to add 400 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power to the national grid in the next five years.
The State agency says the output would completely phase out thermal power.
Under the project, KenGen will rehabilitate some of its geothermal power plants and upgrade others as it continues with exploration around Olkaria and Eburru.
The company announced that works on Olkaria 1 Unit Six was complete with the plant undergoing testing.
