Nairobi; Kenya: The State-controlled Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) wants to team up with private investors for the first time to build geothermal power plants that would come on stream by 2016.
Plan by the firm is part of the country's ambition to add 5,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity by 2017, against a current total of 1,664 MW, as it tries to tackle power shortages and high prices holding back business.
