Ormat, Clean Power Alliance sign 15-year PPA for 42 MW Heber South Geothermal project in Imperial Valley

Ormat Technologies Inc. has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Clean Power Alliance (CPA). Under terms of the agreement, effective January 1, 2022, CPA will purchase 14 MW of clean, renewable energy from Ormat’s Heber South Geothermal facility located in Imperial Valley, California. This 14 MW of baseload geothermal power is expected to advance CPA’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals while enhancing overall reliability for CPA’s more than one million southern California customer accounts.

The PPA replaces the original PPA with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), which had a shorter remaining duration and was subject to an early termination option.
