Project: WGP Unit-1

Client: Western GeoPower, Inc.

Brelje & Race is assisting Western GeoPower, Inc. (WGP) with their environmental documents/permitting, compliance, surveying and civil engineering needs for their proposed WGP Unit-1 geothermal power plant project. The project consists of redeveloping a commercial steam resource at The Geysers in Sonoma County at the site of the former PG&E Unit 15. The former power plant and well field ceased operations in 1989. By 2000, the power plant was dismantled and the wells were plugged and abandoned. WGP has a Power Purchase Agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric to provide clean, renewable geothermal power by 2010 and to assist the utility with meeting California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard of 20% renewable energy by 2010.
