“Reaching one gigawatt is a huge milestone for us,” said Kevin Wallace, Director of Geothermal Projects for POWER Engineers. “Geothermal plants tend to average around 30-50 MW. So getting to 1,000 MW takes time and dedication.”
Kizildere 3-Unit 1 also ushers Turkey into the 1 gigawatt country club, of which there are currently three other country members: the United States, the Philippines and Indonesia
“Our design team is the industry’s best,” said Tim Dunford, Project Engineer on geothermal projects for POWER Engineers. “Everyone works very well together and we have great field support.”
Combined, POWER’s geothermal team has worked on projects all over the world including Nicaragua, Mexico, Kenya, Costa Rica, Iceland, Indonesia, Turkey, the Philippines and the United States. For nearly three decades, POWER’s team of experts has provided feasibility assessments, design engineering and field engineering to some of the world’s leading geothermal project developers and operators.
