Unique information:
Ormat, through subsidiaries,
owns and operates all Steamboat facilities. Through a
US DOE grant, well field and well pump operations have
improved by replacing a line shaft pump with a central-lift
submersible pump and motor. Three of the nine production
wells have been converted to the more efficient submersibles.
Steamboat 3 is part of Ormat’s Steamboat Complex, which includes the following geothermal plants: Steamboat 1, Steamboat 1A, Steamboat 2, Steamboat 3, Richard Burdette, Steamboat Hills, Galena 2, and Galena 3.
