Blue Mountain Update

摘要

Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. (NGP) announced on April 24 that a report released by GeothermEx, Inc., revises the megawatt-capacity estimate for geothermal resources in the Blue Mountain Geothermal Project, Humboldt County, Nevada. The revision is based on production-well testing and a review of the proposed-injection strategy for the project. The megawatt capacity of the Blue Mountain resource currently is estimated to have a minimum value of 40 MWe (net), with a 90% probability, and a most-likely value of 57 MWe (net). "Resource drilling at Blue Mountain has indicated a larger and more prolific resource than originally anticipated. Consequently, the Blue Mountain project has been increased in size from 37.5 MWe (gross) to 49.5 MWe (gross). The larger power plant will result in increased revenues to the company," said Brian Fairbank, NGP president &CEO.
