en.Wedoany.com Reported - Calpine, a business unit of Constellation, has completed a 25-megawatt expansion at The Geysers geothermal complex in Sonoma County, California, increasing the site's round-the-clock renewable electricity output and strengthening its role as a key source of reliable clean energy for the state.

The expansion comes as California seeks a more reliable renewable energy supply to meet growing electricity demand. Calpine stated that the project builds on its 2024 addition of a 38 MW battery energy storage system at the site, further reinforcing The Geysers' role as a stable source of baseload clean power.

Of the new 25 MW capacity, 18 MW will be supplied to Clean Power Alliance, while the remaining 7 MW was brought online last year and is supplied to MCE. Both buyers rely on geothermal energy to provide reliable renewable power that is not limited by weather or time of day.

Calpine noted that the project was completed under a Project Labor Agreement with local unions, highlighting the investment in construction, workforce, and energy during the expansion.

The Geysers is the largest operating geothermal complex in the world and has been producing clean electricity in California for over 65 years.
