The programme aims to increase investment in geothermal energy in East Africa, contributing to economic development and growth, by addressing market failures which hinder the very early stages of geothermal market development, including: • reducing the risk of exploratory test drilling, leading to increased investor confidence in under exploited East Africa geothermal energy; and, • improving geothermal strategy, policy and regulations that facilitate investment.
To increase investment in geothermal power in East Africa
Grant finance for exploratory test drilling will be provided through the already established East African Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF) managed by KfW (the German development bank, in cooperation with the African Union Commission (AUC)
Technical Assistance to improve the strategy, policy and regulatory conditions will be procured directly by DFID
