Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has embarked on exploration drilling<\/a> at the Korosi Geothermal Prospect, the second field in the Baringo-Silali Geothermal Project, located in Baringo County in the Rift Valley Region of Kenya. This comes after successfully drilling<\/a> three (3) exploration wells at the first prospect, Paka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three (3) exploration wells will be drilled in Korosi to ascertain the availability of the resource, before embarking on appraisal and production drilling<\/a> thereafter. The GDC Drilling<\/a> and Infrastructure crew is currently working tirelessly on the rig up process in Korosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Korosi Prospect has an estimated geothermal potential of more than 600MW and the commencement of drilling<\/a> at the Prospect is a huge milestone for GDC. The Korosi prospect is expected to impact the host community in the region positively, as it will open up the area for various socio- economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Baringo-Silali Block has three (3) prospects; namely Paka, Korosi and Silali with an estimated potential of 3,000MW which will be developed in phases. The first phase will develop 100MW from each prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
