1. Installed Capacity/Generation The United States leads the world in online capacity of geothermal energy and continues to be one of the principal countriestoincreaseitsgeothermalgrowth. Further,in2007geothermalenergyaccountedfor4%ofrenewableenergy- based electricity consumption in the United States.1 As of March 2008, geothermal electric power generation is occurring in eight U.S. states: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Other states, such as Oregon and Colorado, are soon to be added to the list. States generating geothermal energy and existing capacity: Total installed capacity: 3040.27 MW (March 2009) Total generation: 14,885 GWh (2007)2 Figure 1: March 2009 Geothermal Power Capacity On-Line Alaska California Hawaii Idaho Nevada New Mexico .68 MW 2605.3 MW 35 MW 15.8 MW 333 MW .24 MW State Installed Capacity Data 1.1.Alaska Utah 50 MW Wyoming .25 MW Total 3040.27 MW 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 electricity from a low-temperature resource (165°F). Since it came online the power plant has added a subsequent 200 kW unit as well as one 280 kW unit. This brings total production to 680 kW.3 1.2. California U.S. geothermal capacity remains concentrated in California. In 2007, 4.5 % of California‟s electric energy generation came from geothermal power plants; amounting to a net-total of 13,439 GWh. Recently the state welcomed the addition of a new power plant, 50-MW North Brawley. California now has approximately 2605.3 MW of installed capacity.4 1.3. Hawaii Currently, one power plant operates on the big island of Hawaii. This plant, Puna Geothermal Venture, delivers an average of 25-30 MW (35 MW name-plate capacity) of firm energy on a continuous basis, supplying approximately 20% of the total electricity needs of the Big Island.5 1.4. Idaho In January 2008, the first geothermal power plant came online in Idaho. Raft River, a binary plant that uses a 300°F resource, has a nameplate production capacity of 15.8 MW. Currently, net electrical power output is between 10.5 and 11.5 MW. An expansion to this plant, as well as several other projects around the state, is underway. 6 1 U.S. DOE: Geothermal Technologies Program.
