The AUC/KFW Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF) — A Catalyst for East African Geothermal Development

摘要

The East African Rift is wildly believed to possess a tremendous potential for geothermal development. However, despite the potential and the need for substantial growth in electrical generation capacity throughout the region, development activities have been slow to materialise. A new program - Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility - is now in place to accelerate development by providing costs share grants for exploration and reservoir confirmation drilling.
