Tanzania:

Symbion to Introduce Geothermal Power in Tanzania (AllAfrica.com)

Symbion Power is one of the founding partners of Power Africa, and as one of the initiative’s private sector leaders, it aims to show results. “We were honored that President Barack Obama chose the Symbion Power Plant to announce Power Africa on his recent visit to Tanzania,” said Paul Hinks, Chief Executive Officer of Symbion Power.

Since Power Africa was announced, Symbion has signed a new agreement for geothermal power in Tanzania to use equipment and know how of Ormat Technologies Inc. from Nevada, and it will shortly make an announcement about a new initiative in Kenya, he said, adding “it is the President’s Power Africa initiative that is driving these new investments.”
