Newberry Volcano, Oregon. Davenport Power, LLC on behalf of Northwest Geothermal Company signed a 20-year power sales agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric Company, a major west coast utility, in July 2006. The agreement involves selling between 60 and 120 MW of electricity from a proposed geothermal power project on the western side of the Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. Davenport Power is the Project Operator and a co-owner of this world class geothermal project.
Drilling preparation and environmental work began in 2006 and the first 30 MW of the project is scheduled to achieve operating status in late 2009. The second 30 MW is scheduled to begin operating in 2010 and, provided that expected resource and transmission service are available, the remaining 60 MW of the project is scheduled for 2011.
