The Menengai I Geothermal Power Station is a 35 MW (47, 000 hp) geothermal power plant under construction in Kenya. The power station is owned and is being development by a consortium, which has formed a special vehicle company (SPV) to own, design, build, finance, operate and maintain the power station.
