NAIROBI, Kenya, June 13 – The High Court of Kenya’s Commercial and Tax Division is scheduled to hear an insolvency petition against Africa Geothermal International Limited on July 9, 2025, following a formal application for liquidation filed earlier this year.
The petition, lodged on January 8, 2025, seeks the winding up of Africa Geothermal International Kenya Limited, a company involved in the energy sector, specifically geothermal power development.
While the specific grounds for the liquidation request have not yet been disclosed publicly, the legal process indicates that the company may be facing significant financial difficulties.
