Canada´s Ram Power points to December as launch of commercial operation for geothermal power plant in Nicaragua

Tuesday, October 18, 2011


Canada's Ram Power said commissioning for Phase I expansion of its geothermal power plant at San Jacinto-Tizate, Nicaragua, has begun, and the unit is expected to start commercial operation in December.

The San Jacinto-Tizate project had earlier encountered construction delays and was also facing higher material and labor costs.

The Phase I expansion will add 36 megawatts of capacity to the 10 megawatts backpressure units currently in operation at San Jacinto, said the company, which has geothermal operations in California, Nevada and Canada.
