Update as of May 20222: Kenya now has 85% of it's households connected to the power grid, and geothermal accounts for a large chunk of it. Majority of Kenya's power production is now green.
@@nairobinyeusi5811 Awesome! Kenya rocks. How many of that 15% are like American Indians and don't want it? A lot of us refuse to allow electric lines outside of towns on reservations.
@@marschlosser4540 The different with Kenya and America is that Kenya is an African state run by it's native majority while America is basically a Looted country where natives are a marginalized Minority. The Kenyan Government is required by Law to Compensate any land they acquire from locals that's why there is little resistance to development. Africa itself has over 1 Billion native population so development is a Must for the benefits of all not an option. The Kenyan Government was given a target by the parliament to fully connect the nation to power by 2025 & they came up with a rural electrification exercise of cheap green electricity across the Country.
@@nairobinyeusi5811 Looted by liberals, yes. We're American Indian and usually the system works well with us.

A geathermal field in Menengai can generate upto 10000Mw enough for export, the government should fund more geothermal wells to fill the 15% gap in national energy demand that is filled carbon polluting and expensive thermal plants.
Please, capture that steam and condense it to water. Even if it's only another steam running away, it's good water for livestock and the land. You have awed me with your work!
@@SaintNjuguna It's a fantastic work to behold! Right now, California, cursed by God with drought, needs more water. California is building a lot of geo plants at this time, and I think the salt is burned out, or caught on metal meshes. God's peace to you.
The Steam has to be condensed back in order for the Turbines to work properly. It creates a Vacuum behind the Turbine, which adds up 950 mbar of additional Pressure for the Steam to expand. The lower Pressure also means that the Steam can become much colder than the 100° C at which it would condense at atmospheric Pressure, which drastically improves Efficiency. It can't be used as Drinking or Irrigation Water tho, as Boiler Water is treated with Additives.
Until you see the gauge gradually going down then you will not drill more but enhance the existing product to generate revenue and prow back to the locals a certain percentage for them to take care of the environment before they start complaining of there boreholes getting depicted.naivasha by now could have been a city like Rwanda or Poland by its self......but kaboom this is Kenya.
Probably too little water and would deplete the aquifers. You could "close loop" the system, build more generators, and use the energy to desalinate the ocean more efficiently than just extracting the water from the reservoir. The wells are recharged by pumping the steam back down into the earth at less energy than was produced by the release of the steam.
What problem would you be solving when it would probably cost more to transform the steam to drinking water, hold it, and then most likely pipe it to households, when there is not an actual real need for that protracted method?
then it won't be renewable, you are in one way or another depleting the steam reserves... do not disturb the balance of nature, that is what causes problems
make a new article mr man, and i also doubt that by 2012 only 75% of kenyan population does not have access to electricity?? that number is high. i dont agree with you
That was true in 2012, right now in 2021 it's at 10-15% that doesn't have access. Also this number is different from those that are actually connected. This is just a number for those who are able to get access but also includes those that have access but also not connected for other reasons, other than having access; like cost mostly.

2020:55% of Kenyan households have access to electricity

a lot of change has since taken place. more and larger plants have been constructed. we need another article.
Viva Kenya! Upward and onwards, through God's grace

Exactly what i was thinking..
some of it is pumped back to the wells then reheated by magma

@@Genius_at_Work Yet, the idea is geothermal plants would also make potable water from sea water.
Geothermal Energy is the solution to GHG effects and continuos electrical generation... Let go for it... we can help!!!
Kenya kenya Kenya
Nice.
Woow 😘👏
Good
How are all school fees paid for, to attend the UN University?
hello I'm using your video for my task but it's not for commercial or profitable
Wait till you see Olkaria 5!

Go for solar
Can that steam be harvested and condensed for drinking/irrigation purposes?

kenya is tooo preety, hope they dont find too much oil
alot of oil is already found about 1.4bn barrels but the government has little interest in it.
Do your research well
make a new article mr man, and i also doubt that by 2012 only 75% of kenyan population does not have access to electricity?? that number is high. i dont agree with you
it is true, but the rural electricity programme has brought about a lot of change.
2020: 55% of kenyan households are connected to the grid.
Smaller footprint than nuclear? That is an odd claim.
if u want to make energy and steam jus go home and put water in a pan and boil it and boom, energy :)
75% of Kenyans don't have electricity ?really? Lies lies lies
