Phases
The project will be completed in five phases, progressing from exploration through commercial geothermal energy production, which is expected to begin in Year 5
Phase 1:
Exploration
- GeoAI resource targeting
- PFI fracture and fluid mapping
- Permitting
- Exploration wells
- Geo models
- Identify minerals
Phase 2:
Permitting and Planning
- Obtain leases and permits
- Complete engineering design
- Select construction contractors
- CAISO interconnection request
- Power Purchase Agreement
Phase 3:
Construction
- Drill production, injection, and monitoring wells
- Build power plant
- Connect to electrical grid
Phase 4:
Power Production
- Start Power generation
- Binary flash technology
- Expected electricity sales: 323 GWh/ year
Phase 5:
Critical Minerals
- Design separation units and power plant expansion
- Complete offtake agreements
- Obtain permits
- Construct and commission separation units and plant expansion
- Timing to be determined in Phase 1
