The project would construct a new 49.9 net megawatt binary power plant composed of six Ormat Energy Converters, an expanded geothermal well field beyond the six exploration wells, and pipelines to carry the geothermal brine to the power plant. Also to be constructed are pipelines to carry the cooled brine to injection wells, pipelines to distribute noncondensible gas from production wells to the power plant area and injection wells, an electrical transmission line to interconnect to the substation at the North Brawley 1 Geothermal Power Plant, and water pipelines to bring water from the City of Brawley's treatment plant upgrade, with supplemental water supplied by IID to the power plant for cooling water.
