Rwanda plans to drill three geothermal exploration wells next year at a cost of about $20 million, said Stephen Onacha, an energy expert in the Ministry of Infrastructure.
“When we confirm geothermal resources in the first well, we will begin developing it for electricity generation immediately,” Onacha said in an interview on Dec. 11 from Gishenyi, western Rwanda, where geologists think the resource is located. It won’t “wait to drill all other exploration wells.”
