Abstract Kenya has identified several geothermal prospects which include 14 prospects within the Rift valley that transects the country from north to south and more recently discovered outside this region notably, Mwananyamala and Homa hills. Over the last two years exploration activities have been geared towards re-assessing previously explored prospects and assessing the hitherto unassessed prospect fields. This paper presents findings of heat loss surveys carried out on five geothermal prospect fields that include; Paka, Korosi-Chpechuk, Silali, Homa hills and Mwananyamala.
