Abstract
Direct use geothermal projects are in progress in northeastern California at Wendell in Lassen County, Greenville in Plumas County , Big Bend in Shasta County and at Cedarville and Fort Bidwell in Modoc County. These low to moderate temperature projects range from space heating to hybrid geothermal biomass electrical power generation. Space heating systems at both Indian Valley Hospital in Greenville and at Fort Bidwell Indian Reservation become operational in 1983. Other projects are in various stages of development and design. These projects illustrate the extent to which geothermal resources may be utilized to replace demands of conventional power supplies.
