Hoover's coverage by Stuart Hampton

Overview

Calpine may get hot, but it also knows how to blow off some steam. The independent power producer and marketer controls 27,490 MW of generating capacity through interests in more than 90 primarily natural gas-fired power plants in 20 US states and Canada. This fleet also includes 15 geothermal power plants in California. Calpine, the leading geothermal power producer in North America, owns 725 MW of capacity at the largest geothermal facility in the US -- the Geysers in northern California, where electricity is produced from natural steam, and which accounts for more than 20% of the state's renewable energy. The company's California and Texas operations account for the great majority of its business.
