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. |
