History
The plant is the second to occupy the site. The older 3.6-megawatt (4,800 hp) plant, originally known as the Empire Geothermal Plant, which was sold by Empire Geothermal Power LLC to U.S. Geothermal Inc. in 2008, was commissioned in 1987. Phase I of the reconstruction added an 8.6-megawatt (11,500 hp) generator.
