Chena Geothermal Power Plant Project Final Report Prepared for the Alaska Energy Authority January, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document represents the final report for Chena Hot Springs Geothermal Power Plant Project. The objective of this project has been to install two 200kW Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) geothermal power plants at Chena Hot Springs, Alaska, for a total generating capacity of 400kW. The Chena plant is the first geothermal power plant installed in the State of Alaska, and serves as a demonstration of the technology for rural Alaska. The geothermal power plant has been operating with 95% availability since the installation of the first 200kW unit in July, 2006, and has relegated diesel generation to a supplemental and backup role in power generation for the site. The power plant operated for over 3000 hours in 2006, generating 578,550kWhrs and displacing 44,500 gallons in diesel fuel. In 2007, the project is expected to generate 3 million kWhrs of clean geothermal power and displace 224,000 gallons of diesel for an estimated savings of $550,000. The geothermal power plant installed at Chena Hot Springs has reduced the cost of power from 30¢ per kWhr to 5¢ per kWhr, with further reductions expected once loans to fund project infrastructure are repaid. Maintenance cost for the power plant is expected to be 1¢ per kWhr. This dramatic decrease in the cost of power has led to new development at Chena Hot Springs. A 5,000ft2 year-round geothermally heated greenhouse was installed in 2006 to supplement existing greenhouse production onsite. This greenhouse represents a 60kW additional electric load 18 hours per day, and was cost prohibitive prior to installation of the new power plant. To operate the new production greenhouse facility, an additional 1.5 fulltime positions were added. The number of guests using the Chena Hot Springs Resort facilities increased 8.8% during 2006, which can at least in part be attributed to publicity surrounding the renewable energy projects and geothermal power plant. An extensive expansion of the pool building is planned for 2007 to accommodate expected future increases. 3
