Geothermal Power Capacity and Additions, Top 10 Countries and Rest of World, 2013 perhaps the most significant U.S. project completed in 2013 was the Desert Peak 2 (1.7 MW) in Nevada, the first commercial grid- connected EGS (enhanced or engineered geothermal system) installation in the United States (see more on EGS below).16 Desert Peak 2 is located within an existing operational geothermal field (“in-field”) and serves to enhance its overall productivity.17 Nevada is also home to the new Don A. Campbell binary plant (16 MW), notable for cost-effective power generation from a relatively low-temperature resource, and the first 30 MW phase of the Patua plant.18 In addition, 12 MW of repowering and refurbishment took place at two U.S. facilities during 2013.19 Kenya is one of the fastest-growing geothermal power markets in the world. In 2013, the country added 36 MW of capacity at the Olkaria III complex. A further 16 MW was added to Olkaria III in early 2014, bringing the complex to a total of 110 MW.20 As of early 2014, Kenya had another 280 MW of geothermal power capacity under construction.21 Mexico completed the second of two 25 MW units of the Los Humeros II project, replacing 15 MW of existing capacity.22 Ongoing reforms to Mexico’s energy laws are expected to spur growth and involvement of private parties in the country’s geothermal development.23 Also in 2013, the Philippines began operations at the 20 MW Maibarara geothermal power plant.24 At year’s end, the country’s portfolio of geothermal power plants stood at 1.9 GW, second only to that of the United States, with another 40 MW expected Figure 8.
