Exergy  and  Rentco Ignite a Geothermal Revolution in Olkaria: A New Era for Clean Energy in Africa By: Robert Buluma In a groundbreaking move set to redefine Kenya's geothermal landscape,  Exergy and  Rentco have inked a cooperation agreement to turbocharge the Olkaria Geothermal Field with an additional 67 MWe capacity. This ambitious project promises not just incremental gains, but a seismic shift in the region's energy dynamics, signaling a bold new chapter in Africa's clean energy saga. Exergy , renowned for its cutting-edge technology and robust portfolio boasting 500 MW capacity, will supply 8 Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants, contributing approximately 30 MWe to the project. These ORC plants are part of Rentco 's geothermal wellhead projects in Olkaria, designed to harness both flash and ORC systems, optimizing energy extraction from geothermal resources. The strategic deployment of Exergy’s highly efficient Radial Outflow Turbine (ROT) technology wil
