Rift Valley Energy Exploration is a private company founded in 2023 and based in Addis Ababa.

Geothermal Energy is the future of renewable energy, especially in the Horn of Africa, and the Rift Valley is in the heart of it. Transitioning to green forms of energy is a priority and our completed project can bring electricity to 4 million off grid households in Southern Ethiopia.

Our mission is to assist the local communities and support the people of
the country by developing the geothermal energy sector in Ethiopia.

Our vision is to expand the company in order for it to encompass the different ways of giving back to the community such as providing education opportunities and promoting tourism in the region.

Boseti Geothermal Exploration

Our company was awarded a Geothermal Exploration License for Boseti License Block, Oromia regional State, East Shewa zone, Boset Woreda by the Ministry of Mines of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

The Boseti Geothermal Prospect is a promising geothermal area located within the Main Ethiopian Rift, just east of Adama and southeast of Welenchiti town. It is part of the East African Rift System, a geologic feature known for its rich, high-enthalpy geothermal resources with the potential to be utilized for commercial electricity and direct heat generation. The Boseti Geothermal Prospect is characterized by active volcano systems containing fault and eruptive centers, and has visible signs of geothermal activity on the surface.

Our exploration program at Boseti will involve geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies to assess the geothermal resource potential of the area. Our ultimate goal is to develop a geothermal power plant to generate clean and renewable electricity for the region.
