In a release today, Reno, Nevada based ElectraTherm, announces the commissioning of a Power+ Generator® at a geothermal site in the northern part of Japan. The geothermal heat forms an onsen (hot spring) where the local community has enjoyed bathing at this natural resource for centuries. The Power+ installation offers another resource to the community. The generator runs off a low temperature geothermal resource and the baseload renewable power generated is sold to the local utility at an attractive feed-in-tariff rate. The installation also reduces the cost of cooling the onsen water that is otherwise too hot for bathing. This marks the second Power+ Generator in Japan utilizing geothermal heat to generate fuel-free, emission-free electricity.
