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.
