| Project Title | Klamath Falls Geothermal Low Temperature Power Plant |
|---|---|
| Project Type / Topic 1 | Recovery Act: Geothermal Technologies Program |
| Project Type / Topic 2 | Geothermal Energy Production from Low Temperature Resources, Coproduced Fluids from Oil and Gas Wells, and Geopressured Resources |
| Project Type / Topic 3 | Low Temperature Resources |
| Project Description | The project will be completed in three phases;
The project will create jobs in a community with 16% unemployment. Funding of this grant will immediately create needed jobs and lead to the long term utilization of an important renewable energy resource. |
| State | Oregon |
| Objectives | Construct a low-temperature (210 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit) Geothermal energy production facility that will demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of utilization of the non-convention resource for combined power and heat. |
| Awardees (Company / Institution) | City of Klamath Falls, Oregon |
