The Olkaria Area is a region located immediately to the south of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, Africa. It is geothermally active and is being used to generate clean electric power.[1] The region has an estimated potential of 2,000 MW.[2] This is almost double the maximum daily electricity peak demand recorded in 2008/2009 for the entire country.
