Utah geothermal power projects photo update (Cape Station, Cove Fort, Blundell, Rodatherm)
I recently passed through Central Utah and decided to stop in to see progress on a few geothermal projects.
Cape Station: Construction on the first 3 units seems to be wrapping up and work on phase 2 is moving quickly. 2 drills are up at 2 different sites, and the beginnings of power plant equipment have begun to appear.
The Cove Fort Power Plant: Ormat seems to be just about wrapped up with an upgrade to the existing units which will allow an additional 7 MW of production. Work should begin soon on an additional unit which will add 20MW to the site.
Blundell Power Plant: The plant appears to be receiving maintenance with work underway on both units.
Rodatherm: I was unable to get a picture as it started raining heavily, but a large drill is onsite and working at the Rodatherm test project.
