The Geysers (California)

The Geysers in California is one of the world's largest geothermal energy complexes, located in Northern California. It harnesses heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate electricity by converting steam produced from volcanic activity into power. The site consists of multiple power plants that use natural steam reservoirs trapped underground, which is tapped through wellbores. This renewable energy source produces electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. The Geysers significantly contribute to California’s clean energy portfolio and demonstrate the potential of geothermal power for sustainable electricity production.
