300 MW of Geothermal and Rising: POWER is arguably the world's leading geothermal power plant engineer, with recent design experience with more than 300 MW of new geothermal generation capacity in California, Nevada, Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Kenya, Iceland and the Philippines, including advanced binary systems and straightforward flash and steam plants for baseload service.

Thousands of Kilometers of Power Line: POWER is also one of the world's most prominent (and most trusted) transmission and distribution engineers, specializing in system studies, underground and submarine transmission and distribution, advanced substations, and new generation plant interconnections.
 

Our areas of particular expertise include the following:

Geothermal Power Production Systems and Facilities: Estimates and Studies, Flash Plants, Dry Steam Plant Upgrades, Advanced Binary Cycle Designs: POWER is now performing the engineering for two large flash plants in Kenya, as well as performing design work for ongoing upgrade projects at Calpine's Geysers plant complex in California, and other geothermal generating plants in California and Nevada. POWER recently performed binary technology consultation and estimating services for the U.S. Department of Energy and Scottish Power/PacifiCorp, and has been the engineer for a number of binary plant projects including Húsavík, in Iceland, and the Heber Geothermal Project in California.

• Engineering for Wind Generation Plants: POWER has long been involved in transmission and distribution interconnections for major wind plant developments in California, and has also performed structural and electrical engineering in support of other wind plant developments in the U.S.
