This week’s webinar by IGC.events will feature a presentation on the “Continuation of the GRMF Program in East Africa” presented by Maria Ueltzen, Associate Partner at Rödl & Partner.

  • Day: Friday June 18, 2021
  • Time: 14:00 CEST

The Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF) was established to fund, facilitate, and accelerate geothermal development in Eastern Africa. The overall objective of the GRMF is to encourage public and private sector investment into geothermal power generation by providing grants for two types of activity:

  • Surface studies to determine the optimal location of reservoir confirmation wells at the most promising geothermal prospects.
  • Drilling and testing of reservoir confirmation wells at the most promising geothermal prospects.

After having successfully concluded six application rounds in the past years the kick off for the 7th application round is scheduled for 22 June 2021, as we reported.

The webinar provides an outline of the activities of the facility to date as well as the financing opportunities to come including the underlying process.
