Ormat Technologies to provide EPC services to Enel Power’s geothermal plant

Enel Green Power North America has selected Ormat Nevada to provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for its Cove Fort geothermal power plant located in Southern Utah, US.

The two companies signed the contract for a total value of $61.4m.

Ormat Nevada, under the contract, will supply two air-cooled Ormat Energy Converters for the geothermal project.

Ormat president and COO Yoram Bronicki said the company had deployed similar equipment to a myriad of projects worldwide and it intends to continue reinforcing the track record in established and new markets.

"This development will incorporate Ormat’s low-operating-cost design and our consistent project completion standards," Bronicki added.

The two companies had earlier entered into an interim agreement for an amount of about $9m to complete the project in time.

Ormata Nevada is a wholly owned subsidiary of US based Ormat Technologies, a vertically integrated company that provides solutions for geothermal power, recovered energy generation and remote power.

Enel Green Power North America, part of Enel Green Power, is owner and operator of renewable energy plants.
