(Aug. 29) – An important international recognition for the work done by Enel Green Power in the new plant in Stillwater, Nevada. The Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) announced the winners for the GEA Honors, which recognize companies and individuals that have made significant contributions during the past year to advancing technology, spurring economic development or protecting the environment. The awards program, which is in its second year, also gives special recognition to companies and individuals who have otherwise made notable advancements and achievements for geothermal energy. Enel Green Power North America (Enel GP NA) was chosen as winner among the finalists in the Technological Advancement category awarded to an individual or company that has developed a new, innovative, or pioneering technology to further geothermal development. Enel GP NA became the winner for its Stillwater Solar-Geothermal Hybrid Project. This is the first ever hybrid power plant of this kind. This technology may help to allow projects that would otherwise have been unfeasible as stand-alone geothermal or solar projects to be more economically and technologically viable. (red)
