–To supply four 70,000kW steam turbines and generators in 2013–
TOKYO–Toshiba Corporation (Tokyo: 6502) today announced that the company has been awarded a contract to supply four 70,000kW steam turbines and generators for the Republic of Kenya’s largest ever geothermal plant project, the Olkaria I and Olkaria IV geothermal power plants. The contract is Toshiba’s first for the supply of geothermal power equipment in Africa.

Kenya Electricity Generating Company Ltd. awarded a full turnkey contract for Olkarai I and IV to a consortium of Japan’s Toyota Tsusho Corporation (Tokyo: 8015) and Korea’s Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd. on November 7, 2011. Toshiba was selected by Hyundai Engineering to supply the turbines and generators for the project following a comprehensive evaluation of the company’s extensive supply experience and the equipment’s performance and reliability.

Located in the Rift Valley 100 kilometers northwest of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, the Olkaria I extension and Olkaria IV will have a combined output of 280,000kW, the largest of any power generation complex in Kenya. They will deliver renewable energy with minimal emissions of CO2 and raise the share of geothermal power in Kenya’s supply mix to approximately 25%. The plants will make a significant contribution to overcoming Kenya’s current electricity shortage. Olkaria I, a major extension to a current facility, is funded by a yen loan from the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), a Japanese government agency.
