Raft River Location

Raft River Project

• US Department of Energy site from l975-l983• $40 million was spent by DOE on a 7 megawatt

binary cycle demonstration power plant.• Acquired by USGEO June 2002.• Own 660 acres and have a total of 4,417 acres (7.9

square miles) under lease.

Why Geothermal Power?

• Clean, safe, emission free • 100 MW eliminates 560,000 tons greenhouse gases

annually

• Highest rate of production (MWH) to capacity (MW) of any type of power plant

• Generates continuous power • Only alternative energy capable of “baseload” power

• Renewable and Sustainable• Does not consume wasting commodity • Re-injection of spent fluid

• Plants can operate at over 98% availability

• Geothermal Wells• 5 production wells, 2 injection wells, 7 monitoring wells

• Office/control room building, shop building, 15 ton crane, wellfield power grid, 300K gallon water tank, warehouse, maintenance offices

• Adjacent to BPA’s 138 KV transmission line • 120 MW total capacity and 60MW of available capacity

• Year round access via state highway, county road

• Phase 1 10-12 MW to begin construction 2006

using Ormat binary cycle energy converters.• Phase 2 additional 10-20 MW, construction 2007• Additional phases will need additional permitting• 123 MW proven geothermal energy reserves and

resources estimated for 7.9 square miles.
