Linked to the geothermal energy project is a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and an Export Processing Zone (EPZ) under development by the company in the same area of Elementaita. The industrial zone is located just 3km the Nairobi-Nakuru highway at Kikopey. 175 km of this key artery known as the Northern Corridor is set for upgrading into a six-lane highway.
Railway Connectivity to the Industrial Park: Design for construction of a railway siding from the Gilgil Railway Station to serve the SEZ and EPZ is ongoing. It will give the industrial park a competitive logistics advantage by providing a direct link from the current inland port at Mai Mahiu (and by extension Mombasa)
