Raser chairman Kraig Higginson introduced Raser’s geothermal power project at Lightning Dock near Animas, New Mexico along with its geothermal development process.

According to the company, the power plant will be one of the first in the US to use new low temperature geothermal power generation technology in a proprietary modular power plant design by Raser Technologies.

Dick Clayton, executive vice president for Raser Technologies, said: We believe that the completion of this renewable energy plant over the next several months will mark the beginning of an expanding role for geothermal power in our nation’s energy future.
