Arizona Working Group
On January 30, a GeoPowering the West meeting was held in Phoenix at Arizona State University. Under Arizona Corporation Commission proceedings, approval has been granted for geothermal to be allowed as a variance to the Environmental Portfolio Standard. Roger Hill reported on GeoPowering the West organizational activities, and Steve Munson of Vulcan Power, Paul Morgan of Northern Arizona University, and Jim Witcher of New Mexico State University all reported on Arizona geothermal resources and activities.
The group spent some time discussing how to get further organized, and two primary tasks were identified: collecting all of the current operations and resource documentation, and focusing on the activities beneficial to the state in the future. Another meeting is expected at the Vulcan Power project at the Clifton location in May. Amanda Ormand has agreed to lead GeoPowering the West activities in Arizona.
