Forum
[Geothermal to Power Africa]
Greatest Forum of Geothermal to Power Africa

Once in a year, a group of interesting and impactful people from Africa gathers for the week-long experience — which attendees have described as “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the African future energy.”

Africa’s geothermal energy potential that can be used for power generation is mostly concentrated in the East Africa Rift System (EARS) whereas low temperature resources for direct use application spread across the continent. Estimated Geothermal energy resource potential in the EARS is more than 20,000 MWe. While geothermal development has mainly been for national electricity markets, the geothermal potential, if fully utilized, could also benefit regional markets in Eastern Africa through the regional power pools. Further geothermal developments are underway in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
