It is a binary cycle geothermal plant, which uses a closed-loop heat exchange system.

Thermal cycle plants near the ocean have the option of using seawater.

In a combined cycle plant thermal efficiencies are approaching 60%.

Topping cycle plants primarily produce electricity from a steam turbine.

This is known as a combined cycle plant.

This has led to a large increase in the use of natural gas for base-load power production, often using more sophisticated combined cycle plants.

Low pollution is a crucial advantage of combined cycle plants that burn natural gas.

The combined cycle plant was commissioned in January 2000.

In 1924 it was rebuilt as a 60 cycle plant with 15,000 kilowatts (up from the original 10,500kW).

The study estimated that a Mist lift power generation plant could be 17% to 37% cheaper than a closed cycle plant.
