According to Surprise Valley Electrification Corporation spokesman Lynn Culp, the binary geothermal power generation plant is pre-built and is slated for arrival on Monday, Nov. 18, for installation on the site’s foundation.
Piping as well as the plant’s cooling tower will be shipped as separate components and assembled on site, Culp said. Colorado TVC, based in Fallon, Nev., is the contractor that won the bid for the project, and one of three firms that issued a bid, Culp said.
The project, estimated by Culp in overall value at $20 million, dates back about four years in development. The target date for coming online is spring of 2014, he said. A power purchase agreement is currently in the works with Pacific Power, but has not yet been signed, he said.
