The key arguments for the Mammoth Water Community District are laid in the study found here.The Mammoth Water Community District claims that development of Casa Diablo IV project increases significantly the risk of contaminating shallow water sources with deeper geothermal fluids ( website by the MWCD).The Mammoth Water Community District has engaged in a legal battle against Ormat's plans ( in the news).Up to 16 new production/injection wells could be drilled to achieve the projected increase in fluid production. The objective of the Casa Diablo IV project is to increase the production of geothermal fluid by an additional 6000 gpm and use a new binary plant to generate 30 Mwe.Three power plants in the Mammoth Geothermal Complex generate already around 29 MWe using a geothermal fluid mix of approximately 12000 gallons per minute (gpm).Map of the Casa Diablo area showing the town of Mammoth Lakes, water wells from the MCWD and existing+projected wells from Ormat. Ormat expanded its operations to provide energy storage and energy management solutions, by leveraging its core capabilities and global presence as well as through its Viridity Energy Solutions Inc. Ormat’s current 917 MW generating portfolio is spread globally in the U.S., Kenya, Guatemala, Indonesia, Honduras, and Guadeloupe. The Company has engineered, manufactured and constructed power plants, which it currently owns or has installed to utilities and developers worldwide, totaling over 2,900 MW of gross capacity. Ormat’s flexible, modular solutions for geothermal power and REG are ideal for vast range of resource characteristics. Ormat has 584 employees in the United States and 762 overseas. patents, Ormat’s power solutions have been refined and perfected under the most grueling environmental conditions. The Company owns, operates, designs, manufactures and sells geothermal and REG power plants primarily based on the Ormat Energy Converter – a power generation unit that converts low-, medium- and high-temperature heat into electricity. is a leading geothermal company and the only vertically integrated company engaged in geothermal and recovered energy generation (“REG”), with the objective of becoming a leading global provider of renewable energy. With over five decades of experience, Ormat Technologies, Inc. 21-07 (Emergency Forest Closure) pursuant to 36 C.F.R § 261.50(e)(3) Persons with a Forest Service special use authorization for an electric transmission line, an oil, or gas pipeline, communications site, or any other non-recreational special use. This work is exempted from Regional Order No. It will be the first geothermal power plant built within the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) balancing authority in the last 30 years and will be the first in Ormat’s portfolio to sell its output to a Community Choice Aggregator. The CD4 power plant is expected to be on-line in early 2022. Mammoth Pacific Geothermal currently employs 25 full-time people and expects to bring on additional employees as a result of the CD4 project. It’s estimated that the project will bring over $13 million to the region and will create more than 180 construction jobs. The state-of-the-art project is expected to provide 30MW of electricity for 22,000 homes while offsetting 4 million tons of CO2. Ormat is authorized by the US Forest Service to continue work through the recent California National Forest closure. The public is advised to be aware of heavy equipment and remain outside of marked areas. Highway 395, and installing pipelines that connect the wells to the power plant.Ĭonstruction vehicles and heavy equipment will be present and operating in the area throughout the construction period. Upcoming activities include drilling new geothermal wells at two sites near Shady Rest, building a new power plant east of U.S. We had previously reported on flow and injection tests done by Ormat on two existing geothermal wells in the project. In a press release, Ormat Technologies through Mammoth Pacific Geothermal announced that construction work for the Casa Diablo IV (CD-4) geothermal project in Mammoth Lakes, California has started.
