So, the money that has been given to GDC has not been meant specially to drill wells. It has been used to invest on the assets, infrastructure and buy machinery that will be used many times in drilling geothermal wells. If you look at what the GDC has been doing for the last couple of years, we have moved from dry wells to wells that are striking, maybe, 5 megawatts. Now, we are striking 10 megawatts. Since the GDC has already established that there is power in Menengai and has done appraisal drilling, we expect it to give us more ...

Given the fact that Kenya is rated second in the world in experience in geothermal, I do not think that it is right to say that GDC is not doing well.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a concern by hon. Eric Keter that GDC is not feeding any megawatt to the national grid. Again, this was not the mandate of GDC. The company was to explore, put steam on line and the independent power producers would come on board, buy the steam, produce power and feed it into the national grid.

As we speak, we have over 400 megawatts of steam that has been drilled by GDC. That is both in Olkaria and Menengai. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

With regard to hon. Kihagi’s clarification on cost per megawatts, again, you cannot take the total investment that has been given to GDC and divide it by the total number of megawatts. That is because part of the money is in infrastructural investment. The equipment and assets are still there.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, on hon. Iringo’s clarification on power surges, it is not the responsibility of GDC. That falls under the purview of Kenya Power. Probably, GDC will address some of those issues. We have many problems.
