PR Newswire (US)
RENO, Nev., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ormat Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE:ORA), today announced that one of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries has signed a 20-years Recovered Energy Purchase
Agreement (PPA) with Highline Electric Association, a
consumer-owned cooperative serving load in Colorado and Nebraska,
for the sale of electricity generated from a 4MW ORMAT(R) Recovered
Energy Generation (REG) power plant to be constructed along a
Natural Gas compression station near Denver, Colorado. The facility
will convert waste heat from the exhaust of existing gas turbines
into clean energy, and is expected to be commissioned in mid-2009.
Ormat will own and operate this facility through the term of the
PPA. (Logo:

has secured the rights to use the waste heat under a Waste Heat
Host Agreement with Trailblazer Pipeline Company, which owned by
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. Trailblazer Pipeline Company owns
and operates the gas compression station where the new facility
will be built. Trailblazer owns 436 miles of natural gas pipelines
that traverse from Colorado through southeastern Wyoming into
Nebraska. The energy produced from the REG plant will contribute to
Highline's Renewable Portfolio Standards requirement, in accordance
with the legislations in Colorado. Mark Farnsworth, General Manager
of Highline, said, "Highline is excited to be partnering with Ormat
Technologies in this groundbreaking project to develop renewable
energy in Colorado. This project will benefit our member- owners as
a reliable and clean source of power, as well as set a new standard
for the development of renewable energy in Colorado." Lucien Y.
Bronicki, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer of
Ormat Technologies, said, "This agreement is the 7th power purchase
agreement that Ormat signed for the sale of electricity from REG
power plants, offering further validation of recovered energy as
one of Ormat's growth engines. The Ormat line of REG systems
responds to two objectives that are high on the energy policy
agenda: energy efficiency and emission reduction. We are very
pleased with our progress on this area and remain confident about
Ormat's prospects in the recovered energy arena going forward and
maintaining our leadership in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
technology." The ORMAT(R) REG facilities consist of ORMAT(R) Energy
Converters (OEC) based on Organic Rankine Cycle technology, which
convert recovered heat to electric power without the need for any
additional fuel or water. The OEC units are environmentally benign
as they have no emissions of CO2 or NOX. Several similar ORMAT(R)
REG plants have been operating successfully -- one on a TransCanada
pipeline compressor station that has been in operation for more
than seven years and a second ORMAT(R) REG plant that has been
operating inside an Enterprise Products gas processing plant for
more than three years. Recent installations include one on the
Alliance Gas Pipeline in Canada that has been in operation since
early 2007 and, another set of four projects on the Northern Border
Gas Pipeline that began operation in mid-2007. Ormat also has
orders for the supply of equipment for two REG projects that will
be located in British Columbia, Canada, and currently has under
construction three REG projects in Saskatchewan, Canada, and
additional plants that it will own and operate on the Northern
Border Pipeline selling their output to Basin Electric. About Ormat
