Agil signs Kenya geothermal PPA

Africa Geothermal International Kenya Ltd (Agil) has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Kenya Power for a 140MW geothermal power project in Longonot. Agil will build, own and operate the project, which is expected to begin operating in 2018 and will supply around 1,170GWh each year to the grid. Agil has completed surface exploration and development with the help of New Zealand’s Sinclair Knight Merz, which also assisted with Clean Development Mechanism registration and PPA negotiations.
