Open Mountain Energy LLC (OME), a subsidiary of Kaishan Group, which owns, develops, and operates geothermal energy projects in the US, recently signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with California Community Power (CC Power), a Joint Power Agency consisting of various California Community Choice Aggregators. The PPA was negotiated and agreed to following OME’s response to CC Power’s 2021 Request for Offers for Firm Clean Resources. The RFO was issued in response to the California Public Utilities Commission’s mandate to address mid-term reliability which set a procurement target of 1,000 MW for clean, firm resources such as geothermal.
OME和CC Power的購電協(xié)議容量為13MW（凈）、時(shí)長(zhǎng)為20年；電力由OME的Fish Lake地?zé)崽铮ㄎ挥趦?nèi)華達(dá)州）提供。預(yù)計(jì)電站在2024年6月投入運(yùn)營(yíng)。目前Fish Lake正在進(jìn)行資源鑒定，在該P(yáng)PA之外項(xiàng)目還有10-17MW（凈）的開發(fā)潛力。這將是第三個(gè)OME與加州的購電方簽署的長(zhǎng)期購電協(xié)議。
The PPA between OME and CC Power is for 13 MW (net) delivered from OME’s Fish Lake geothermal project in Nevada. The contract term is for 20 years with the power plant expected to commence energy deliveries by mid-2024. OME’s Fish Lake project area is expected to have an additional 10-17MW of potential beyond this initial 13 MW that will be delivered to CC Power. This PPA is the third long-term PPA signed by OME with a California-based counterparty.
OME的CEO Brady Olson表示，公司將繼續(xù)開發(fā)其地?zé)豳Y產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目組合。該購電協(xié)議的簽署能幫助CC Power的各成員落實(shí)各自的可靠、清潔能源采購目標(biāo)。
“OME continues to develop its portfolio of geothermal assets, and is excited to enter into this PPA with CC Power to help its members achieve their firm clean resource procurement objectives,” said Brady Olson, CEO of OME.
CC Power的主席Geof Syphers認(rèn)為，地?zé)嶙鳛橐环N基載、再生能源形式，是加州未來可靠、清潔的能源供應(yīng)的重要組成部分。雙方的購電協(xié)議更是能在近期提供可持續(xù)、高可靠性的能源解決方案。
“As a baseload resource, renewable geothermal power is an important part of keeping California’s power clean and reliable in the future. This contract is a near-term solution to providing needed reliability in a sustainable way,” said Geof Syphers, Chair of CC Power.
