Geothermal
generation is growing popular in the U.S. and countries blessed with sunlight
alike. Fuji Electric, world’s leader of the geothermal generation equipment
market with 4% share, will participate in a geothermal generation project in
the U.S. Energy Source of the U.S. will construct the Hudson Ranch Geothermal
Power Plant in California for 30 billion yen, and Fuji Electric will take a
stake in this company for 800 million yen. The power plant has an output of
49,000 kW to supply power to 50,000 households in Arizona. The construction
will start in 2013 and the operation will start in 2015. Fuji Electric plans to
get an order for the steam turbines and generators of this power plant.
In the
U.S., the total output from geothermal generation inside the U.S. is expected
to increase 70% over the level in 2010 to 5.4 million kW in 2015. The
development of geothermal generation has also been growing active in Indonesia
and Philippines. Fuji Electric wishes to increase its share in the world market
to 50% by accumulating development results worldwide.
