The plant will be developed under a public private partnership (PPP) model, where the state-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) will co-own the power station with a strategic partner.

[1] The power station would be located in the Olkaria area, in Hell's Gate National Park, in Nakuru County, approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi), by road, northwest of the city of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

About 3.75 kilometres (2 mi) from the site of Olkaria VI, lies a 220kV substation, where the output from this power station will be directed for evacuation.

[2][3] KenGen has drilled and tested steam holes and prepared the site where the power station will be built.

[3] The plan calls for the strategic partner to own, finance, build, operate and maintain the power station for the duration of the PPP contract.
