Kelly Hot Spring is located approximately two miles northeast of the town of Canby in Modoc County in northeastern California. Two deep wells have been drilled in the vicinity of Kelly Hot Spring. A proposal has been made to the Geothermal Floral Company, the owner of property around Kelly Hot Springs, for one 500 kW binary generating unit and three 300 kW binary generating units. The output of the units is based on an 1800 gpm supply of geothermal water at 220 F and 7400 gpm of cooling water at 55 F. This analysis presents the results of a study to determine the technical and economic feasibility of power generation at Kelly Hot Spring using binary power plants in accordance with the Ormat Turbines, Ltd. proposal. 4 references.
