Geothermal power in California

A renaissance in geothermal power production is underway, as new geothermal power plants are proposed or under construction in both new and old locations.

PG&E has also signed a contract for geothermal power in southern California. Iceland America Energy (IAE) plans to build a 50-MW plant near the Salton Sea in California's Imperial Valley. Meanwhile, a Canadian company plans to bring geothermal development back to California's oldest geothermal site, The Geysers in northern California.
