About Geothermal Power Geothermal power plants use the natural heat of the earth to
generate electricity for homes and businesses. Geothermal power is a renewable
source of energy and does not rely on coal or other fossil fuels to create
electricity.
About the Virtual Tour
Select a numbered icon to take a tour of each phase of the geothermal power
plant operation. The tour begins with a look at the geothermal resources far below
the surface of the earth. Next, the tour shows how these resources are brought to
the earth's surface and converted into steam, how the steam is used to spin
turbines and generate electricity and how the unused fluid is returned to the earth
to sustain the geothermal resource so it can be used again. To see all phases from
start to finish, select Grand Tour. Enjoy your tour.
