The Northern California Power Association operates the other two. Also, two new developer\/operators are working in The Geysers, US Renewables is re-powering a the old DWR Bottle Rock plant and Western GeoPower is re-powering the old PG&#038;E Unit 15 plant. There are many more plants in California in the Mammoth, Coso, and Imperial Valley regions. Otherwise, a very good article and highly recommended.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLinks: <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/76811-geothermal-energy-sources-101?source=renewableenergyjournal\" target=\"_blank\" >Geothermal 101 at Seeking Alpha<\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mammoth Geothermal PlantAttribution: USGS George Gorski over at Seeking Alpha has posted a nice entry on geothermal entitled &#8220;Geothermal 101&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s a very good read and has the added benefit of exploring the geothermal supply chain in addition to developers and operators.
