Net energy production history of the Geysers geothermal project

L. Icerman

Energy, 1980, vol. 5, issue 1, 29-33

Abstract: Geothermal projects at the Geysers, California, have relatively high net energy ratios for electricity-production facilities. Comparison of the net cumulative electrical energy generated at the Geysers with the cumulative thermal energy invested for constrction and operation of the facility indicates a favorable energy return, even during periods of rapid systems expansion.
