In September 1988, Ormat Energy Systems, Inc., began work on its Steamboat Geothermal IA Project in Steamboat Springs, Nevada. This expansion of the Steamboat Geothermal I Power Plant was finished in late 1988, and the power plant acceptance test was completed in early January 1989. The IA Power Plant includes two Ormat energy converters that generate an additional 2 megawatts, gross, of electricity by using the geothermal water prior to injection. An air-cooling system is installed to ensure zero environmental impact. Ormat has received the US Dept. of Energy 1988 award for Energy Innovation for its Steamboat Geothermal I Power Plant. The nonpolluting, 7.4 megawatt, gross, binary power project has operated since 1985.
