Is Kenya Becoming the Economic Heartbeat of Africa?

When Kenya’s newly announced geothermal power generation project comes online, it will turn the East African country into an economic powerhouse in the region.

In April, the government launched the Menengai Geothermal Development Project, the first initiative of its newly formed Geothermal Development Company, which has been set up to fast track the development of geothermal resources here.

According to its chief executive officer, Dr. Silas Simiyu, by 2016 the first phase will generate 400 MW, which is enough to light up 500,000 households and run 300,000 small businesses.

“It is situated 180 kilometres northwest of Nairobi, and will have a capacity to produce 1,600 MW of electricity by the time we implement all three phases in 2030,” said Simiyu.

According to Nashon Adero, a policy and economic analyst at the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis, the first phase of the project will have a significant impact on the country as it moves towards industrialisation.

One of the primary goals of AAPDEP is to use the collective energy, skill and expertise of Africans wherever they are located and to include others with skills who are willing to work under the guidelines of this project, to offer their skills for the development of Africa and African communities throughout the world. The most important features of this project that distinguish it from other approaches are: It is spearheaded by Africans for Africans - true self determination. It organizes the highly trained and skilled sector of the African population to use their skills for the development of our Africa and African communities everywhere. It is NOT charity – the most popular and accepted way of dealing with the objective conditions in Africa - as this approach demoralizes Africans everywhere, the recipients as well as other African people who witness it. AAPDEP is a revolutionary strategy aimed at transforming the dismal reality of Africans everywhere and forwarding self-determination for African people. Current AAPDEP projects focus on renewable energy electrification, rainwater harvesting, well- building, water purification, ecological sanitation, farming and community health workers training.
