5.3 Geothermal Projects in the United States One of the most notable geothermal projects developed in the United States is the John L. Featherstone Plant located in California. This plant is notable because of how it was financed: 75 percent of the plant was financed with debt. The plant was named the Best Geothermal Project of 2012 by Power Engineering and Renewable Energy World magazine.24 It also won the Environmental Stewardship Award from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA).25 The Featherstone Plant is a 49 MW power plant located in Imperial Country, California. It generates electricity from the Salton Sea region, which is one of the largest and highest-temperature geothermal resources in North America.26 The Salton Sea region is expected to have a geothermal potential of 1,400 MW.27 It has geothermal fluid that is corrosive and contains a significant amount of minerals.28 The Featherstone Plant produces electricity using three production wells, which are each 7,500ft deep, four injection wells, and geothermal reservoirs.29 The plant has two of the largest production wells in the world.30 The project was developed in 21 months, beginning construction in May 2010 and beginning operation in March 2012.31 It was developed using well- established technology, including a 50 MW Fuji turbine and a crystalliser reactor clarifier process to remove solids from the brine.32 Figure 5.1 shows how the project was structured. 24.
