Mitsubishi Hitachi to supply turbines for 140 MW Kenyan geothermal plant

Japan's Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems said on Tuesday it and two other firms had won an power generation plant order including two 70 megawatt turbines from Kenya Electricity Generating Company. Last year, KenGen said it expected to start the construction of the 140 MW plant, known as Olkaria V, in July 2016, with the aim of connecting the geothermal power plant to the grid by the end of 2018.
