Ormat Technologies Inc. and Toshiba Corp. have signed a agreement to develop strategic opportunities for collaboration in the areas of geothermal power generation systems and related equipment.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will explore and develop strategic opportunities that will enable them to offer potential customers a more competitive solution for comprehensive supplies and services related to geothermal developments, from resource assessment, field development, power plant engineering, procurement and construction to power plant operation.<\/p>\n
The first project expected to be implemented under this collaboration is the Menengai geothermal project in Kenya to be constructed and operated by the Ormat – Symbion Power LLC – Civicon Ltd. Consortium, majority owned by Ormat. The parties have already initiated negotiations on the supply agreement and the plant design is at an advanced stage.<\/p>\n
The two companies said they are actively analyzing global prospects for upcoming and potential projects in which they can jointly submit applications for geothermal power plants utilizing a geothermal solution consisting of Ormat\u2019s binary system and Toshiba\u2019s flash system.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeothermal power plants generally utilize either a binary system or a conventional flash system. In some situations, a combined cycle using both systems can be employed, with the specific technology for each project chosen based on the unique characteristics of the geothermal resource,\u201d Ormat said in a statement. \u201cThis collaboration will leverage Toshiba\u2019s 49 years of expertise in flash systems and Ormat\u2019s proven leadership in binary systems, to offer an efficient solution that combines the two technologies and meets the technological needs of geothermal projects around the world, enabling Toshiba and Ormat to approach and capture a larger portion of the geothermal market.\u201d<\/p>\n
