The Baca Data Dissmination Program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:891989
The goal of the federal government's coordinated program of research and development in geothermal energy is to stimulate the economic, reliable, operationally safe, and environmentally and socially acceptable commercial development of this energy resource. This commercialization plan is based on the premise that developers, utilities, and the financial community will not make large-scale commitments to unfamiliar technology until confidence is gained from the commercial-scale demonstration of this technology. The primary objective of the Baca Geothermal Demonstration Power Plant Project, therefore, is to provide that confidence through a first-of-a-kind commercial-scale fifty-megawatt demonstration of the production of electric power from a liquid-dominated hydrothermal resource in the United States.
