Print Geothermal Assesses Its Potential By David Wagman, Chief Editor, Renewable Energy World North America | May 20, 2011 The Geothermal Energy Association's annual report, issued in April, identified 3,633 to 4,050 MW of confirmed new geothermal power plant capacity under development in the United States. Tulsa, OK, USA -- The annual report counts 15 states with projects currently under consideration or development: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Between confirmed and unconfirmed projects there are a total of 146 geothermal projects in development, the report said. The Association's geothermal reporting terms and definitions categorize projects for each state by one of five phases. Phase I: Resource Procurement and Identification (identifying resource, secures rights to resource, pre-drilling exploration, internal transmission analysis complete). Phase II: Resource Exploration and Confirmation (exploration and/or drilling permits approved, exploration drilling conducted/in progress, transmission feasibility studies underway). Phase III: Permitting and Initial Development (securing power purchase agreements and final permits, full-size wells drilled, financing secured for portion of project construction, interconnection feasibility study complete). Phase IV: Resource Production and Power Plant Construction (plant permit approved, facility in construction, production and injection drilling underway, interconnection agreement signed). Unconfirmed: Project information obtained by the Association from publicly available sources but not verified by the project developer. Alaska: Installed Capacity, 0.73 MW Estimated Resource Capacity in Development, 95 MW Estimated Planned Capacity Addition in Development, 50.4 MW Number of Projects in Development, 7 The first geothermal power plant in Alaska was installed in 2006 at Chena Hot Springs. It is a small- scale unit, using organic rankine cycle (ORC) technology to produce 225 kW from a low-temperature resource (165 F). Subsequent 225 and 280 kW units have been installed, bringing total capacity to 730 kW. In June 2010 the State of Alaska enacted legislation to promote the development of geothermal energy by significantly reducing royalty payments from geothermal projects on state lands and streamlining geothermal permitting and regulatory processes with state agencies. Seven different geothermal companies, resort, utilities and Native American entities are developing up to 95 MW of geothermal resources in Alaska for potential electricity production. Additionally, the SW Alaska Geothermal Energy and Pilgrim Hot Springs projects received funding awards from the Department of Energy via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
