Last week on the way home from the GRC annual meeting, we decided to take a side trip that would take us by the Lower Steamboat Springs Geothermal plant operated by Ormat. The view above is courtesy of Google Maps, the view below was snapped from US 395 about 10 miles south of Reno, Nevada. The entire Steamboat Springs complex (4 plants, Upper and Lower Steamboat Springs) has a nameplate capacity of just over 64 MW.
