The Company currently owns and/or leases approximately 8.2 square miles of land with a proven geothermal reservoir which may be capable of producing up to 110 megawatts of power based on estimates from GeothermEx Inc. US Geothermal acquired the project in 2002 and have a 20 year contract with the Idaho Power company to sell 10 megawatts of electricity from the Raft River Unit 1 power plant.
