| Description/Abstract: | Commercial geothermal power generation is an established industry both here in the U.S. and around
the world. Italy was the first country to develop geothermal power commercially in 1914 at Larderello. This
was followed by plants at Wairakei, New Zealand in 1958 and at the Geysers in California in 1960 (DiPippo,
1999). As indicated in table 1, the U.S. currently leads the world in geothermal power generation with a total
of 2850 MW produced from 203 different plants. These plants are located in California, Nevada, Utah and
Hawaii. |
