Abstract
The Heber Geothermal Project a joint venture between Southern California Edison Company and Chevron USA, Inc. consists of a dual flash 52 MW gross/47 MW net power plant. This plant was conceived in 1978 with establishment of the Brine Supply Contract in November, 1978. Approval of the California Public Utilities Commission was sought on March 10, 1980 and was rejected by the Commission due to the project unfavorable financial burden upon the rate payer.
