Upgrade for Steamboat Hills Geothermal Power Plant enters into operation
Ormat Technologies Inc. has announced that the enhancement of its Steamboat Hills geothermal power plant located near Reno, Nevada is complete and achieved commercial operation on June 6, 2020.
The enhancement work included the replacement of all old generating unit equipment with new, state-of-the-art equipment and resource modifications that increased the generating capacity of the Steamboat complex by approximately 19 MW to a total of 84 MW. The new equipment will increase the productivity and efficiency of the power plant and is expected to reduce maintenance costs per kWh.
The Steamboat Hills power plant continues to sell its electricity under the current 25-year long term portfolio power purchase agreement with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), with 100% of the 28.4 MW of capacity going to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
