 In order to meet the renewable power mandate, geothermal
energy was added to the SCPPA portfolio with the Ormat Geothermal
Project.
The Authority entered into long-term power purchase agreements
in December 2005 with divisions of Ormat Technologies, Inc., for
20 megawatts (“MW”) of electric generation from geothermal
energy facilities located in Heber, California.
SCPPA member cities Anaheim, Banning, Glendale and Pasadena began
receiving a total of 10 MW of geothermal energy from the Gould
Geothermal Plant in Heber, California, in January of 2006. An additional
10 MW is to become available soon.
