Posted by admin

This is the first renewable energy project in the US that combines base load geothermal energy with the peak capacity of solar. Combining the technologies takes advantage of each of their strengths, providing a better match for electricity demand in the communities it serves. The projects can also share power lines and operational facilities, reducing costs and environmental impact.
