Kenya may not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking about geothermal energy, but it leads the world in geothermal electricity production per capita. Sitting atop the geologically active East African Rift System, Kenya has tapped into the Earth’s heat for power, agriculture, industry, and community development—transforming a once-overlooked resource into a cornerstone of its energy future.
Spanning more than 45 square miles, The Geysers in northern California is the largest geothermal power plant complex in the world. For over a century, its steam has powered innovation, clean energy, and communities across the region.
Before it became the world’s largest geothermal power-producing site, The Geysers was known as the “Gates to Hades,” drawing visitors with its healing waters, steam vents, and wild legends.
One of the many obstacles for hopeful settlers is the need for power and heat on these barren landscapes. Some geologists and other scientists theorize that geothermal energy may be the answer.
