Geothermal exploration can be done through various techniques including remote sensing. A geothermal potential area has thermal anomalies as compared to its surrounding areas. Therefore, by creating a Land Surface temperature map, you are able to identify the anomalies. Eburru Badlands, Gilgil constituency, Nakuru county in Kenya is a geothermal powerplant. The area is characterized by fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools which are all manifestations of heat anomalies on earth. The power plant generates about 2.44 MW of electricity.
