Bay Area Utility Tours The Geysers (The Alamedan)
Alameda Municipal Power which serves customers in the east San Francisco Bay Area, took a bus tour of The Geysers geothermal field
A few hours north of San Francisco, in the Mayacamas Mountains, sits the world’s largest geothermal field. The Geysers steam field covers more than 2,000 acres and provides electricity to thousands of Californians, and Alameda Municipal Power owns a significant share of its output.
The utility took more than 60 customers and staffers on a tour of one of The Geysers’ power plants Friday, leading a pair of tour buses through the Bay Area fog, the vines of wine country and a winding maze of steam and water pipes to the Northern California Power Agency plants.
