Puna Geothermal Venture

Puna Geothermal Venture, now owned by Ormat Technologies, Inc. and located in the volcanically active southeast corner of Hawaii Island, “The Big Island”, has been providing up to 30 megawatts of power to Hawaii Electric Light Company for nearly 30 years and is now planning an expansion which will double its output in a few years. Along with three wind farms and run-of-the-river hydro, with biomass energy production on its way, PGV has helped Hawaii Island to achieve a renewable portfolio standard of nearly 40 percent, the highest percentage in the Hawaiian Islands.
