The Kenyan government is building up its geothermal resources.

In February, it took in $1.3 billion from multinational banks for this purpose. And now it’s borrowing $97 million more from China’s Exim bank to build another 140-megawatt geothermal plant.

Kenya estimates that it’s capable of generating 7,000 megawatts of geothermal energy — 10 to 15 times the country’s total demand

If Kenya successfully pulls off its geothermal roadmap, it will become the dominant provider of geothermal power in Eastern Africa

With 2,957.94 megawatts (MW) of installed geothermal capacity, the United States remains the world leader with 30% of the online capacity total. A recent industry update showed an increase in the pace of geothermal production in the U.S., a country that many experts believe should take initiative to shed the expensive, foreign-dependent lifestyle of running on oil and gas and begin to help mitigate the threat of global warming.

Further, new technologies promise increased growth in locations previously not considered, indicating that the future outlook for expanded production from conventional and enhanced geothermal systems is positive.

Geothermal energy, considered by a growing number of renewable energy experts as the best form of renewable energy for its ability to provide continuous, 24-hour, clean, sustainable energy production, has long been an underdog to other technologies. With advances in technology and funding from government and investors, the U.S. can steadily increase development in using the heat of the Earth itself for substantial and widespread energy production
