KenGen risks losing Olkaria wells over 18-year licence blunder - Business Daily

KenGen risks losing control of key geothermal wells at Olkaria due to a licensing error from 2008 that misrecorded the coordinates, altering the licensed area's shape. The error led to parts of the original field being outside the license, and in 2018, part of the area was allocated to another developer. Despite the Ministry acknowledging the mistake in 2017, no corrective action has been taken as of 2026, putting KenGen's rights and investments at risk.
