The Geysers Field generates more electricity than any other geothermal field in the world. The Geysers geothermal field provides nearly 70% of the average power demand in the North Coast Region of California from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon State line. That is enough electricity to power 1 million Northern California households of 4 people per household.
