The Geysers Field generates more electricity than any other geothermal field in the world.

The 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.

The Geysers produces above 850 megawatts of electricity, and each 110 megawatts of capacity at The Geysers eliminates the need to burn approximately 1,000,000 barrels of oil per year.

  • The Geysers Recharge Project in Sonoma County and the Southeast Geysers Recharge Project in Lake County, recycle reclaimed tertiary treated waste water to enhance the existing steam reservoir, thereby extending the life of the steam field.
