According to the African Union Commission (AUC), the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Fund,
launched last month in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia and administered
by German insurance company, KfW, will provide more than Sh5 billion (50 million
euros) to compensate companies or government bodies that are unsuccessful in undertaking
exploration drilling of geothermal prospects.
This fund entails that organisations which take insurance cover with KfW get back
80 per cent of the money invested in the exploratory activities if it drills a well
with capacity to produce less than 5MW. Kenya expects to benefit significantly as
it is estimated to hold more than two thirds of the geothermal potential in the region,
estimated to be over 10,000MW. This is why, the 4th World Geothermal Energy Summit
2013 will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 5-6 December 2013.
The 4th annual WGES will discuss the opportunities to ensure your return on capital
(ROC) in this ebullient emerging market as you solidify your East African geothermal
energy business, including.
- contact formats and indicative power costs under Joint Venture and Energy Conversion
Agreements
- geothermal risk mitigation
- land acquisition and management and
- human resettlement strategy and execution.
