I have gone through all your twitter post and To be honest I must say you people are not smart ..if it were to be me I would be pragmatic about it and conduct my research properly before becoming a nigeria imposter(you guys forgot we are tge king of imposter " yahoo yahoo )..I saw so many fake nigerian name.one even mixed an Igbo and a Yoruba name incorrectly which he stole from two politicians names as a result of his desperate need of a nigerian name..the picture attach to this particular post is even more funnier (there is no nigerian name like " NONGO ATUSWE"
Tell your imposter brothers to be smart next time
.so because they couldn't have their way with us previously they had to go and disguise under fake nigerian names that were wrongfully combined and not spelt correctly. .this is pretty low for you guys
Shame

Iam sorry
But deal with you own people

Just30:
then you cant handle nuclear fusion
Because it is coming

I don't like nuclear energy
I hope kenya never develops one

Exploratory drilling by GDC at Paka/ Baringo-Silali prospect in Kenya promising

In May 2019, Kenya’s Geothermal Development Company opened the Master valve of a well, the first exploration well in the Paka Geothermal Prospect and the first geothermal well, north of the equator within Kenya’s East Africa Rift System. To produce geothermal-generated electricity, wells as deep as 2 kilometers or more are drilled to tap steam and very hot water that drive turbines linked to electricity generators.

Already, there are positive indications from the well, signaling success and heralding a new chapter in the development of geothermal energy in Kenya and a momentous milestone for GDC as the company strives to accelerate the development of geothermal resources in Kenya through surface exploration and drilling for steam.

Exploration Drilling in Baringo Silali

The geothermal prospects in Northern Kenya are of great significance. In its entirety, the northern region of the Kenyan Rift is considered to have a potential of more than 3,000 MWe. Juxtaposed to the country’s peak demand which currently stands at 1,802MW, it is implied that the geothermal resources in the north, when monetized, could sustain the entire country’s electricity demand.

GDC scientists have been conducting surface exploration in the expansive geothermal area and have identified sites in the Paka, Korosi and Silali Geothermal Prospects where exploratory drilling activities will be undertaken. The first of the exploration wells, the well, was spudded in December 2018 and as predicted by GDC geoscientists, the well was a great success. The over 2.5 km well penetrated a high temperature productive zones from 900 meters to the bottom.

The success in the Paka geothermal field is a major milestone not just for GDC but also for the country and the development partners who have supported the company’s exploration activities in the north. Most notable of development partners is the German Development Bank (KfW), the Africa Union Commission and the UK’s Department for International Development – through the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Fund (GRMF). If the success in the Paka Geothermal Field is replicated in the other fields (Korosi Geothermal Prospect and Silali Geothermal Prospect) as predicted, then it implies that the government will be able to rollout development projects with the confidence that one of the most critical inputs for infrastructural development – electrical power, is
available in abundance and can be supplied at the lowest cost, with almost negligible negative impact to the environment.

Enabling the Big 4 Agenda

Kenya has vast geothermal resources which are critical for national development. With GDC’s success in northern Kenya, the goals outlined in the Government’s Economic Transformation Agenda – the Big 4 Agenda and essentially the Vision 2030 target to transform the country’s economy from a largely agrarian to an industrialized economy, becomes feasible. As demonstrated
through numerous empirical studies, industrial growth is propelled by the elimination of the salient business operation constraints, key of which is the accessibility to stable supplies of cost effective power. Currently, the steam produced by GDC is being converted to electricity as a cost of $ 7 cts per kWh.

The first phase of the Baringo Silali project targets to deliver 300 MW of electricity to the national grid in the next five (5) years. Geothermal sourced electricity therefore, fits the bill for several reasons. It’s an apt base-load source of power, comparatively inexpensive, abundant here in Kenya, renewable and environmentally friendly.

Industrial parks

The Geothermal Development Company envisions the development of industrial parks adjacent to Baringo – Silali geothermal field where investors will set up their bases to utilise the geothermal energy and other by-products supplied centrally by GDC. With low costs of production, catapulted by the utilization of the readily available geothermal energy, the parks will spur the socio-economic development of the region. The company is keen to work with development partners to actualize the implementation of large scale direct use application.

Direct uses of geothermal energy

Apart from the conventional electricity generation, geothermal energy and by-product constituents can be directly utilized for economic and social gains especially to enhance food security. There is a large potential for direct uses of geothermal in Northern Kenya. Since most of the geothermal potential areas are in dry areas, brine and steam condensate can irrigate crops and fodder.

Other Direct Uses of geothermal energy include growing crops in greenhouses, drying crops, heating water at aquaculture ponds and industrial processes, such as pasteurizing milk.

Social economic development

Notably, socioeconomic benefits from infrastructure development is invaluable. Accessibility to the region is no longer a challenge as GDC has constructed over 100km of roads in Korosi, Paka and Silali. This has eased transport in the area and opened the area for potential investors.

In addition, roads have a positive impact on inhabitants. The roads infrastructure is expected to enhance the residents’ ability to access social services and market for their goods and therefore contribute to improving their living standards. Besides the roads, GDC has also provided water to the communities and has constructed community water points. GDC is in essence promoting sustainable development echoing the UN Sustainable Goals which will gradually improve the quality of life for Baringo – Silali residents.

In Kenya, successful discovery of steam in the Paka Geothermal Project area, which geoscientific studies suggest will be replicated further afield, beckons a new dawn in the country’s industrialization journey. Continued success in the monetization of geothermal resources in Northern Kenya will not only allow for an eventual reduction in the cost of power in Kenya, but it will also give greater assurance to both government and private investors when planning for energy intensive projects in the country such as those envisioned in Vision 2030.

Kenya still has a huge geothermal potential

Planned transmission to deliver up to 200 MW of geothermal power to Western Kenya

Kenya Electricity Transmission Company is in the process of finalising a 300 km high voltage line project from Olkaria, which will facilitate access and transmission of geothermal power to the West of Kenya.

It is planned to be completed in March 2020, and then help save the country from power imports from Uganda.

“There is no geothermal power to the area due to lack of transmissions lines,” so Kenya Electricity Transmission Company managing director Fernandes Barasa Barasa said during commissioning of the Loiyangalani-Suswa transmission infrastructure project.

The power project to Western hopes to facilitate access and contribute to anticipated lower electricity bills across the country despite the excess generation charged at same tariff despite it source area.

Good news to the mulembe nation

edon21:
this guy is an igbo. and some igbos are fighting for biafra and so they say a lot of negative things to fight Nigeria and it's leaders

igbos are Nigerians aren't they

look for testimonies for Nigerians living in Kenya

TayserMahri:
Nigerians should be left to deal with HEU. Where would a nuclear power reactor be located in Nigeria though? IN the north obviously not because of Boko Haram and cattle farmers, in the south not because of the breakaway Igbos, in the west no because of the Cameroon border which is frequented by Boko Harm. Maybe in the East but then again a nuclear power plant requires a large water body so ominously the reactor would be located somewhere very close to Lagos. Nigeria is always doomed.

having a nuclear plant in Nigeria is a recipe for a disaster

No news here because

Ghana Atomic Energy Commission is a global leader in nuclear research




The Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has lauded the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) for its cutting edge research and training which has placed Ghana at the forefront of global efforts to convert high-enriched uranium fuelled research reactors to low-enriched uranium fuelled ones.

In August 2017, Ghana became the first country, outside China, to successfully complete the conversion of this reactor type, and the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission has been training scientists from other countries to convert theirs.

Speaking in Accra on Tuesday, 30th July, 2019, Vice President Bawumia indicated that Ghana is committed to global efforts to ensure the responsible use of nuclear technology, and would continue to uphold international treaties guiding their use.

“High-Enriched-Uranium-fuelled research reactors could become a potential source material for nuclear weapons. The threat of terrorism legitimises this concern, and the solution worldwide, underpinned by the principles of non-proliferation, is to convert all highly enriched uranium-fuelled research reactors to low enriched uranium-fuelled research reactors.

“In this regard, Ghanaian scientists in collaboration with Scientists and Experts from the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) of the United States Department of Energy (US DoE), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and China Institute of Atomic Energy, undertook the process of converting our high-enriched uranium fuel reactor to low-enriched uranium fuel one.

“By this feat, Ghana received an outstanding performance award from the National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy of the United States of America (USA).”

Vice President Bawumia gave the commendation when he commissioned a Low-Enriched Uranium Core Research Reactor; International Miniature Neutron Source Reactor Training Facility; and the Laboratory Building for the Radiological and Medical Sciences Research Institute of GAEC at Kwabenya, Accra.

The Vice President disclosed that Government, three months ago, released funding to support the site selection process for the establishment of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) to generate electricity.

“Cabinet has also approved the setting up of an Organisation to oversee the construction and Operation of Ghana's first Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and believe it will also help our quest to achieve some of the sustainable development goals, specifically, Good Health and Well-being, as well as Quality Education, which will transform our world.”

The Vice President had high praise for the work in radiation medicine, cancer research, medical imaging, diagnostic molecular biology and nutrition undertaken by scientists at GAEC, which are having direct positive impacts on daily lives.

“I wish to congratulate the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) for its contribution to the development of the country through the application of nuclear science and technology in the areas such as Health, Agriculture and Industry. I am informed that it was through the efforts of the Commission that the two Radiotherapy Centres at Korle-Bu and Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospitals were established for the treatment of Cancer.

“I have also taken keen note of your research in irradiation, which would prolong the shelf life of such staples as yam, maize, and beans. This would go a long way to reduce post-harvest losses,” he added.

The Government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is committed to enhanced and accelerated scientific study, Vice President Bawumia assured, recalling that this was the first time in over 40 years that a President or his Vice had visited the facilities of GAEC and provided this quantum of support for scientific work at the nation’s sole nuclear research institution.

I feared this nuclear energy especially after Chernobyl incident

edon21:
seriously a Nigerian bearing a Kenyan name

You should visit Nakuru
You will relocate

Yobeezy:
Tylann

Nakuru is bae i tell you

Even Kenyans themselves cannot resist .

edon21:
see we Nigerians know that things are not moving well since inception and that's why we tend to blast the government with such posts but really on this Kenyan matter, even as we are performing beyond expectation, you haven't reached our level.

.

Kenya too has numerous problems facing a typical developing country

But Nigeria is not better than kenya
As your fellow Nigerians have said Google from ,healthcare , education ,infrastructure , economy , security etc and tell me where does Nigeria beat Kenya

Yobeezy:
Who the hell cares if they're ipod youth?
What we know is that they're Nigerians generally.Take your internal divisions elsewhere

More from your fellow Nigerians

ipod youth are Nigerians

Blah blah blah ..cry me a river boy.
It was signed last year and has started already .I see every read to celebrate it....your projects never gets finished

It was signed last year
Can you post pics of ongoing construction

No one believes anything nigerian

You are good at signing projects not executing them

Jonraid:
It's first time seeing Africans mocking other Africans for being dark skinned on a larger scale in social media!


They've also been doing it to Ghanaians. Nigerians see themselves as more light skinned.

And then they will end up celebrating how they won the Twitter war

The only thing i saw they was racial insults from " white" Nigerians to " black" and "dark" kenyans

Jonraid:
I can see Kenyans and some light skinned Nigerians!

Bleaching has made them to think they are white so they start abusing other Africans black

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Do all Africans including Ghanaians and Kenyans what do you think about my pictures and my trip to Nigeria

Nigeria is hellish i can tell by the pictures
