Synergetic Development Group will harness 18MW of geothermal power, utilizing 10 acres of land and 360 cubic meters of water annually. This strategic alignment underscores a philosophy where industrial might is intrinsically linked with ecological responsibility.

KenGen Managing Director and CEO Peter Njenga articulates this vision with clarity: “The onboarding of Synergetic Development Group as our fourth investor at the KenGen Green Energy Park is a testament to the growing confidence that industry players have in our green energy offering.” This confidence is cultivated through a commitment to reliable, competitively priced geothermal energy that fuels both homes and industries, creating jobs and fostering sustainable economic development.
Stephen Kiarie, CEO of Synergetic Development Group, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the alignment with his company’s strategy to leverage renewable energy for green industrial products. This collaboration transcends a simple transaction; it represents a conscious choice to build an industrial future rooted in clean energy, a future where Africa’s vast green energy potential is the bedrock of its manufacturing aspirations. The Olkaria Green Energy Park, designed as a special economic zone is a declaration of intent, a living testament to Kenya’s Vision 2030 and a model for the continent.
