Three proposed geothermal power plants in California are described. A 110 Mw dry steam plant is planned for The Geysers geothermal field by the Northern California Power Agency. Construction on the $57 million plant is to begin in 1979 and be completed by 1981. A 55 Mw plant is also proposed for The Geysers as part of the state Department of Water Resources plan to supply 12% of needed energy by the mid-1980s by geothermal power. Also, a 50 Mw plant is planned for Imperial Valley by Southern California Edison that will convert geothermal brine to steam. The $70 million plant which is scheduled for completion in 1982 could save an estimated 450,000 bbl of oil a year.
