THE EAST AFRICAN RIFT SYSTEM Extends about 6500 Km from the Dead Sea (North) to Mozambique (South) Huge Geothermal Resource with Estimated Potential of > 15,000 MWe
Why Geothermal? Indigenous and Renewable High degree of availability (>98%, 7500 operating hrs/annum ) Base load power generation, Generation Mix Reduced vulnerability to weather & climatic variations Provides clean and safe energy using little land Proven technology Flexible expansion to meet demand Power generation and direct heat applications Reduced GHG emissions
