 CalEnergy
Generation operates 10 geothermal generating plants in Southern
California's Imperial Valley, which produce electricity solely from
naturally occurring steam. Production wells tap into superheated water reservoirs
thousands of feet beneath the Earth's surface to release tremendous pressure,
caused by the hot water, which rushes to the surface. There, steam is separated
and used to drive turbines to generate electricity.
