23 October 2006 -- Anaheim Public Utilities joined partner cities Glendale and Burbank last week in celebrating the dedication of a second geothermal power plant in the Imperial Valley city of Heber. The three cities, as part of an agreement made in 2005 with the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), will receive a total of 20 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power from the Ormat Geothermal Power Project.

"Anaheim will eventually be getting 12 MW from the facility," said Marcie Edwards, Anaheim Public Utilities general manager. "We are currently receiving 6 MW with the remaining 6 MW scheduled in the coming months from this new plant."

The first plant at the complex opened earlier this year, bringing 10 MW to the participating cities.

"Geothermal energy is still more expensive than producing electricity by burning a fossil fuel such as coal," Edwards said, "but it is an infinite resource and is not dependent on oil and gas price fluctuations."
