The Kenyan government announced plans to develop a geothermal energy-driven industrial park in Kenya's Nakuru County. Geothermal Development Corporation's board chairman John Njiraini revealed the plans and said the company has formed a joint venture with the Nakuru County government for development.

The development will be located near Menengues, where GDC has drilled extensively and has built three privately funded geothermal power plants that are about to start. According to Mr Njiraini, the industrial park will provide cheap geothermal energy and steam.
