COWI and Sinotech Team Up on Taiwan’s Super-Hot Geothermal Potential Taiwan’s geothermal story is moving from possibility to execution, and the COWI-Sinotech collaboration is a sign that the sector is entering a more serious phase of development. The partnership is focused on unlocking super-hot geothermal resources, which could improve project economics and expand the country’s clean-energy options. Introduction Geothermal has long been one of Taiwan’s most intriguing renewable resources because the island sits on active tectonic terrain with strong heat potential. What has held the sector back is not a lack of heat, but the difficulty of converting that heat into bankable projects at scale. The new collaboration between COWI and Sinotech points to a more technical, internationally connected approach to solving that problem. Why Taiwan Matters Taiwan has ambitious decarbonization goals, and geothermal fits neatly into the need for firm, low-carbon power. Unlike solar and wind, geother...
Geothermal Investment Opportunities in Kenya: Why Global Investors Are Watching Africa By: Robert Buluma The center of gravity in the global geothermal energy industry is shifting. For decades, Iceland, the United States, and Indonesia have dominated the narrative of geothermal power. But in 2026, a new epicenter is emerging: the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. The evidence is unmistakable. In April 2026, Kenya officially surpassed 1,000 megawatts of installed geothermal capacity, cementing its status as the 7th largest geothermal producer globally and the undisputed leader in Africa. At the World Geothermal Congress 2026 in Calgary, Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority issued a direct call to global financiers and developers to participate in what is rapidly becoming the world’s most dynamic geothermal frontier. For institutional investors, infrastructure funds, and independent power producers seeking stable, long-term yields in renewable energy, the thesis is compelli...
