Abstract
The Ogiri geothermal power plant started its operation in March 1996 with installed capacity of 30MW. Since the beginning of operation, the plant has successfully maintained high utilization factor of over 90% in average. Timely change of well operations and developing a new area within Ogiri contributed to the long term high level productivity of the plant.
