At the Baringo-Silali geothermal project in Baringo County, the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has started moving its Kifaru 2 rig to the Korosi 2 well site. The move is expected to take 45 days. The Kifaru 1 rig, which is currently at the Korosi 1 well site, has finished drilling three exploration wells at the Paka prospect. Baringo-Silali is believed to have potential of around 3GW and GDC intends to develop the project in phases. The first phase will see 100MW power plants installed at Paka, Korosi, and Silali.
