The CPUC recently put out an interim order that by 2026 they want to put an additional 1000 MW of long lead, high capacity factor renewable electricity generation on the grid. On top of that, they also issued their preferred system plan which states that after 2026 they are still looking for an additional GW of generation. A great development for the Geothermal industry, but the question is...can we do it? Bring 1000MW online in 4 years?! The potential is there and the go get it attitude is there industry wide but many hurdles still remain including but not limited to is the permitting process (specifically NEPA) on federal lands. Come on and join in on this phenomenal conversation with Paul Thomsen, Vice President of Business Development for Ormat Technologies on these two topics and many more.
