Fuel-Free, Emission-Free Power at Second Micro-Geothermal Site

ElectraTherm of Reno, Nevada, USA has announced shipping a Power+ Generator® to a geothermal site in Japan.

The Power+ runs off low-temperature geothermal steam, and the power generated is sold to the local utility at an attractive feed-in-tariff rate for renewables.

“There is a great potential for these micro-geothermal sites across Japan and we look forward to each unit we deliver progressing the market further,” said John Fox, Managing Director of ElectraTherm.

“Japan offers an attractive feed-in-tariff rate for geothermal at 40 Yen/kW (~$.33/kW), which makes these baseload renewable energy projects attractive.”
