Description

Description

The Sonoma-Mendocino GeoZone project aims to build a 600 megawatt geothermal power plant in Mendocino and Sonoma counties, California. The project is expected to nearly double the amount of electricity drawn from geothermal heat in the region, creating thousands of new jobs including about 1,000 permanent positions. The project developer, Sonoma Clean Power, is committed to hiring local workers for at least 30% of the jobs and is building partnerships with local education and workforce development programs. The project faces legal, regulatory, and financial hurdles before construction can begin, with a projected construction phase six or seven years out.
