Zimbabwe has announced plans of constructing a 10-MW geothermalpower plant at the Chimbwawata Hot Springs in the Binga district. The announcement comes after the country has experienced increase drought frequency resulting in lower output from hydropower plants which accounts for about 69% of Zimbabwe’s energy generation.
Government-owned power generation company Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has announced a year-to-year profit increase of 35%, from Sh 5 billion to 6.8 The company attributed this growth in profit to the performance of its geothermal and hydropower plants. MW Olkaria VII power plant. billion (approx.
KenGen has announced a revamped plan to generate more electricity from geothermalpower plants in the face of low water inflows being experienced at their large hydropower stations. The Masinga Dam, Kenya’s largest hydropower dam, recorded a water level of 1039.42 mASL as of 6 November 2023.
This statistic was reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in their newly published document, “Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2022.” Almost all forms of renewable power became more competitive in 2022, with offshore wind and hydropower as the only exceptions.
The New-Zealand Japan Geothermal Coalition A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between New Zealand’s GNS Science , Geo40 , and Western Energy , and Japan’s Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC). They also own a hydropower station (5MW) near Wairoa and a utility-scale solar farm (5MW) in Tairawhiti.
The former consists of hydropower, which has been around for a long time. Hydropower still produces more electricity globally than the Renewables category, which consists primarily of rapidly-growing wind and solar power, as well as more mature renewable technologies like geothermalpower and power produced from biomass.
Part of the proposed amendments seeks to introduce this requirement for geothermalpower projects of a certain scale. If the geothermalpower project is located in general areas, the scale at which an EIA will be required will be relaxed from 10 MW to 50 MW. The notice period is 60 days.
Geothermal developer Energy Development Corporation (EDC) has submitted bids for two geothermal sites following the Open and Competitive Selection Process (OSCP4) by the Philippine Department of Energy which concluded on 28 September 2023. Sembrano (20 MW) geothermalpower projects.
Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has announced a revamped plan to step up electricity generation from geothermalpower plants in a strategic move to cushion Kenyans from the effects o.

Harnessing wind, hydro and maybe geothermalpower, the tiny Canary Island of El Hierro is blazing a trail for sustainable energy and the secret is all in the mix Words and photographs by Ofelia de Pablo and Javier Zurita A vertiginous outcrop with more than 500 volcanoes , El Hierro, the most westerly of the Canary Islands, is less than 12 miles (20km) (..)
The case for geothermal Currently, geothermal accounts for only about 0.5% of the total installed renewable power capacity. However, this is a massive under-representation of the contributions and further potential that geothermal has for decarbonization.
Work is now ongoing from the academic and industrial sectors in Malaysia towards the goal of a first-ever geothermalpower plant in the country. Other geothermal sites being explored, like those in Sabah, are not located far from the main power distribution lines, so it would be easy to connect.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) of Japan is planning to introduce new support measures to facilitate the development of small and medium-sized geothermalpower projects, as well as hydroelectric projects. This accounts for less than 1% of the installed power capacity of Japan.
RENOVA is an independent renewable energy developer and power producer that develops, owns and operates solar PV, biomass, wind, and geothermalpower plants. The Kiangan Hydroelectric Project will be operated by Kiangan Mini-Hydro Corporation.
The preliminary assessment indicates that the site has potential for up to 50-80 MW of geothermal generation capacity. Creating a socio-economic impact Zambia currently relies on hydropower to supply 85% of its electricity. This has made Zambia’s food security situation highly vulnerable to external forces.
Energy sources such as biomass, solar and hydropower accounted for a larger percentage of all energy produced in the U.S. Unfortunately, there was a drop in hydropower produced during the same period due to droughts experienced in the western states of the U.S. A similar drop was also experienced in geothermalpower production.
Through the decades, the company has provided technical services and expertise that have also been crucial for the growth of geothermal in the Philippines and Indonesia. Their work on three of the leading countries in terms of installed geothermalpower capacity is a testament to the time-tested excellence of MB Century.
Capital to support a pipeline of projects The capital raise includes three geothermal generation assets in the central North Island, Te Ahi o Maui (26MW), Geothermal Developments Ltd (9MW), and TOPP1 (24MW), as well as a hydropower station (5MW) near Wairoa, and a soon-to-be operational utility scale solar farm (5MW) in Gisborne.
DEEP Geothermal resource confirmed in Saskatchewan, Canada (source: DEEP) The abundance of oil and gas resources in Canada, as well as hydropower, has meant that interest in geothermal has not been at a high level in the past.
The common energy sources are Hydropower, Biomass, Biofuels, Wind, Geothermal and Solar Energy. the world, there are many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermalpower plants, using the steam, produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.
New Zealand is in a 'development cycle' for electricity as a rapid rise in demand requires speedy solutions. The post New Zealand’s biggest energy retailer signs up for three big solar farms appeared first on RenewEconomy.
The world will need thousands of new solar, wind, and geothermalpower plants. Geothermal and hydropower plants can also support ecological regeneration. Landsvirkjun, Iceland’s national power company, hired a landscape architect to create a new renewable energy design policy, one of the most progressive in the world.
Recently, there has been significant investment by both the federal and provincial governments supporting the deployment of geothermal technologies, which in turn is fueling the growth in commercial-scale geothermalpower production. Not only is geothermal energy renewable, it is also reliable.
The clean energy tax credit provisions of the United States Government under the Biden Administration has now been expanded to cover electricity generation from geothermal energy, as well as nuclear, hydropower, and marine wave energy.
First, producers must contract with new renewable energy resources like wind and solar farms or geothermalpower plants, ensuring that enough new clean electricity comes onto the grid to cover the hydrogen plant’s demand.
The project consists of the design, development, construction, operation, and maintenance of Phase 1 of a planned 150-MW greenfield geothermalpower plant in Oromia Regional State in Ethiopia. The country’s over-reliance on hydropower makes its energy supply susceptible to droughts. million, of which IDA’s share is $32.76
Wind power will get $625 million to fund materials and design research, manufacturing and deployment efficiency improvements, and technologies to integrate wind power at the transmission grid and distribution grid scale. Geothermal energy research will get $850 million, and hydropower and marine power will get $933 million.
Drivelectric Kenya, a subsidiary of Knights Energy Kenya, is offering Kenyans a platform to switch to electromobility. Driveelectric Kenya’s suite of services is tailored to take away the risks (both financial and technological) for its customers, who like in most parts of the world are new to the world of electric vehicles.
