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。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.

Open Mountain Energy is a subsidiary of Kaishan Group. Kaishan Group is a geothermal independent power producer and an equipment supplier of modular power plants, with plants in operation and/or development in Indonesia, US, Hungary, Turkey and Kenya. In the US, its Wabuska project has been in operation for over four years, and its 12.5 MW Star Peak project is expected to be commissioned in July of 2022. Both of these projects previously entered into long-term PPA’s with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA).
