In my country, Kenya, 75 percent of the population does not have regular access to electricity. In response, Kenya has set a vision to industrialize by 2030. This will require the extensive use of energy from different sources, and geothermal energy has the potential to “lead the pack”. The country has adopted a geothermal-based capacity expansion strategy to supplement hydropower, which — despite contributing up to over fifty percent of the total electricity generated — is highly vulnerable to the impacts of recurrent drought.
