肯尼亚向吉布提提供勘探可再生能源的技术支持
吉布提总统伊斯梅尔·奥马尔·盖勒赫在位于肯尼亚纳瓦沙地区的奥卡利亚地热田中进行考察，他高度赞扬了肯尼亚在推进关键能源方面走在了前列。
肯尼亚和吉布提已经建立了合作伙伴关系，探索有益于两国人民的地热资源勘探。
肯尼亚将向吉布提提供技术支持，以便在未来几年勘探和发展以地热为主的可再生能源。
吉布提总统伊斯梅尔·奥马尔·盖勒赫（Ismael Omar Guelleh）访问奈瓦沙的奥卡里亚地热田时，他在那里高度赞扬肯尼亚为推进勘探关键资源而采取的努力。
盖勒赫在Energy CS Charles Keter和两国政府高级官员的陪同下表示，他的国家（吉布提）将从肯尼亚对地热勘探的巨大知识中受益。
虽然他没有在媒体上发表演讲，但KenGen首席执行官瑞贝卡·米亚诺（Rebecca Miano）对此次旅行表示欢迎，并表示将加强肯尼亚与吉布提在可再生能源开发方面的合作。
米亚诺（Miano）指出，Olkaria的发展对于提高肯尼亚在全球地热发电领域的地位至关重要。
“肯尼亚和吉布提是战略合作伙伴，此次访问将加强我们特别在能源领域的经济合作。”
米亚诺（Miano）表示：“我们的重点是可再生能源，我们对地热能源的投资，已经可以看到电力费用从2014年年中上涨的最高水平显着降低。”
米亚诺（Miano）说，吉布提也在推行可再生能源议程，且吉布提具有丰富的地热，太阳能和风能资源。
“该国有可能通过可再生能源发电300兆瓦以上”。
她表示，该国的地热资源多年来一直得到肯定，肯尼亚通过KenGen愿意并能够为吉布提地热能的发展提供帮助。
米亚诺说，该公司正在开发清洁和可再生能源，预计到2020年完成。
“这些项目包括Olkaria V 140MW，Olkaria VI 140MW，Olkaria VII 140MW，Olkaria I 6单元 70MW，Olkaria I Rehabilitation 5.7MW以及Olkaria I AU＆IV顶级工厂60MW”。
她表示，梅鲁风电一期（Meru Wind Phase I ）80MW，地热井50MW和Ngong 项目III 期 10MW的发展计划已进入后期阶段。
Kenya to offer Technical Support to Djibouti in Exploration of Renewable Energy
Kenya will offer technical support to Djibouti in the exploration of renewable energy mainly geothermal in the coming years.
This emerged when visiting Djibouti President Ismael Omar Guelleh toured Olkaria Geothermal fields in Naivasha where he hailed the steps taken by Kenya in advancing exploration of the key resource.
Guelleh who was accompanied by Energy CS Charles Keter and senior government officials from the two nations said his country stood to benefit from the immense knowledge Kenya has on geothermal exploration.
Though he did not address the press, Kengen CEO Rebecca Miano hailed the tour, saying it will enhance collaboration between Kenya and Djibouti in renewable energy development.
Miano noted that developments in Olkaria had been pivotal in elevating Kenya to position nine globally in geothermal power generation.
“Kenya and Djibouti are strategic partners and this visit will enhance our economic cooperation specifically on the energy sector”.
“Our focus is on renewable energy and our investment in geothermal power has already seen power bills reduce significantly from the highs last seen in mid-2014,” she said.
Miano said Djibouti was also pursuing a renewable energy agenda and was endowed with abundant geothermal, solar and wind resources.
She said the country’s geothermal resources have been recognized for years adding that Kenya, through KenGen is willing and able to offer a helping hand in the development of geothermal energy.
Miano said the company was on course in the development of clean and renewable energy which are set for completion by 2020.
“The projects include the Olkaria V 140MW, Olkaria VI 140MW, Olkaria VII 140MW, Olkaria I Unit 6 70MW, Olkaria I Rehabilitation 5.7MW and Olkaria I AU & IV topping plant 60MW”.
She said plans were at an advanced stage for the development of Meru Wind Phase I 80MW, Geothermal Wellheads 50MW and Ngong III project 10MW.
