Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable, environment-friendly and indigenous resource that can improve the energy-generation mix. The GRMF Programme is focusing, for the time being, on countries located in the East Africa Rift Valley System, which has a potential to produce over 20,000 Mwe (Megawatts) that will also benefit countries in other regions through interconnection of the various Regional Power Pools, starting with the southern and northern regions in the short to medium terms.
Notes
Further to my undertaking to the PRC in March 2018, I am pleased to submit my first progress report on the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF), which was prepared by the Commission’s Department of Infrastructure and Energy.
