“Calpine and The Geysers are elated to support Clean Power Alliance’s renewable energy goals by providing green, reliable geothermal energy to your customers across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.” stated Gevan Reeves, Vice President, Origination, Calpine Corporation.
“Geothermal energy from The Geysers is available every hour of every day, supporting Clean Power Alliance’s efforts to decarbonize the Southern California electric system and maintain grid reliability for years to come. Thank you, Clean Power Alliance, for choosing Calpine and The Geysers.

The Geysers’ contract follows closely on the heels of CPA’s recent announcement of a 15-year contract with Ormat Technologies Inc.’s Heber South Geothermal facility located in Imperial Valley, CA. Once the Heber South contract takes effect January 1, 2022, the facility will add 14 MW of renewable energy to CPA’s portfolio. This is enough energy to power 5,752 homes for a year and eliminate 8,911 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions for a year.
