Kenyan energy company entices Bitcoin miners with geothermal power

Kenyan energy company KenGen has put out a call to Bitcoin (BTC) miners to move nearby and buy its excess renewable power capacity.

KenGen claims 86% of its energy is generated from renewable sources, mostly geothermal from pockets of ground source heat in the Great Rift Valley. Local news outlet The Standard reported that KenGen has space at its new industrial park in Olkaria, near its flagship geothermal power station, which could be rented to Bitcoin miners.
