摘要

Throughout the world, geothermal power projects have often experienced challenges, delays and termination due to insufficient engagement with communities and their stakeholders. Often, the developer does not prioritize community engagement early in the project timeline. This can often lead to conflict between groups and delays or higher costs to projects. By having a strong community engagement strategy prior to starting work on a geothermal project, a developer will have the tools in place to more effectively engage local communities and stakeholders at appropriate times in the development timeline to help de-risk projects, keep their development on-track and create a shared value for all parties involved. In recent years, the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), the largest power producing company in the country, has encountered project delays or cancellations due to disagreements with local communities. KenGen has developed over 500 MWe of geothermal power generation at the Olkaria geothermal field near Naivasha, Kenya. In addition to hosting one of the world's premier geothermal resources, Olkaria is also home to a large population of the Maasai community. Community objections over transmission lines, pipeline infrastructure, and access roads have led to project delays, cost overruns, and even project cancellations. Relations between KenGen and the Maasai community and, other local tribes have often been tense. Thousands of miles away, several members of New Zealand's power provide a model for how proactive stakeholder engagement can help energy developers design smart social and environmental programs. Experience in New Zealand's geothermal sector shows that community engagement which leads to partnership between the energy company and the community helps to avoid costly legal suits, project delays and civil disturbances while creating shared values. Recognizing the similarity of the community issues in New Zealand and Kenya, Power Africa and its partners, the United States Energy Association (USEA) and the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA), have facilitated a Kenya-New Zealand Partnership between KenGen and three New Zealand entities to share best practices in community engagement for development of geothermal power.
