Raft River Location
Raft River Project US Department of Energy site from l975-l983 $40 million was spent by DOE on a 7 megawatt binary cycle demonstration power plant. Acquired by USGEO June Own 660 acres and have a total of 4,417 acres (7.9 square miles) under lease.
Why Geothermal Power? Clean, safe, emission free 100 MW eliminates 560,000 tons greenhouse gases annually Highest rate of production (MWH) to capacity (MW) of any type of power plant Generates continuous power Only alternative energy capable of “baseload” power Renewable and Sustainable Does not consume wasting commodity Re-injection of spent fluid Plants can operate at over 98% availability
Geothermal Wells 5 production wells, 2 injection wells, 7 monitoring wells Office/control room building, shop building, 15 ton crane, wellfield power grid, 300K gallon water tank, warehouse, maintenance offices Adjacent to BPA’s 138 KV transmission line 120 MW total capacity and 60MW of available capacity Year round access via state highway, county road Raft River Infrastructure
