Saint Lucia
The Government of Saint Lucia is planning exploration and development of geothermal resources in the Soufriere region of the country. The geothermal exploration is being funded by the World Bank. Panorama assisted the Government of Saint Lucia with completing baseline environmental studies and preparing an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, Environmental and Social Management Plan, […]
Oregon Institute of Technology
Panorama prepared an EA for a proposed 1.2-MW geothermal power plant, a 3,000- to 6,000-foot-deep geothermal well, and a pipeline connecting the new well and power plant located on the Oregon Institute of Technology campus in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The EA was required because the project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). […]
Bottle Rock Geothermal
Panorama prepared a Petition to Amend (PTA) for proposed modifications to the Bottle Rock Power Plant for the plant’s Application for Certification (AFC) with CEC. The project included developing a new steam field connected through new pipelines to the existing power plant, which would enable the power plant to reach its permitted output of 55 […]
Hell’s Kitchen Power + Lithium
Panorama prepared the Imperial County Conditional Use Permit application and technical studies for the Hell’s Kitchen PoewrCo 1 and LithiumCo 1 Projects. The projects include development of 49.9MW of geothermal power and lithium and other polymetallic product extraction from the geothermal brine in Imperial Valley. The project is located within areas that were previously inundated […]
Patua Geothermal Phase I and Phase II
Panorama prepared the EA for Phase I and the subsequent EA for Phase II of a geothermal development project near Fernley, Nevada. Panorama also prepared permit applications for the co-location of solar facilities on the geothermal power plant sites. The project involved development on federal and private geothermal leases. The leases were secured from BLM […]
5MW Duffel Solar Project
Panorama assisted East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) with the siting of a 5-MW solar facility within their watershed lands. Panorama conducted an evaluation of site options for environmental constraints and fatal flaws, developed a permitting plan to address federally listed species and impacts to jurisdictional waters, held multiple meetings with the local municipalities including […]
Crazy Horse Canyon Switching Station
The project included construction of a new switching station and reconfiguration of two existing associated power lines. The project is located in Monterey County and northern San Benito County. Panorama reviewed the Proponent’s Environmental Assessment and prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. Panorama coordinated with USFWS and CDFW due to the presence […]
PG&E Fulton to Fitch Mountain Reconductoring Project (60kV and 230kV)
PG&E reinforced the electric transmission system in central Sonoma County by replacing the conductor on a 9.9-mile-long section of the Fulton-Hopland 60 kilovolt power line between the Fulton Substation and Fitch Mountain Substation. The project also included replacing poles along 8.1 miles of the Fulton-Hopland line, replacing conductor on 1.3 miles of the Geysers #12-Fulton […]
20 MW Patua Solar
Panorama prepared a Major Special Use Permit (MSUP) application for submittal to Churchill County, NV, for a 20-MW solar plant that would provide station load power to two geothermal projects. The MSUP application was completed on a fast-track schedule (within 3 weeks) so as to not delay the project construction. Panorama also coordinated with Churchill […]
350MW Soda Mountain Solar Project
Panorama provided environmental and permitting support to develop a 350-MW solar project in San Bernardino County, California. The project includes multiple solar array areas, operations and maintenance buildings, relocation of Rasor Road, and an interconnect to the Marketplace to Adelanto 500-kV transmission line in a valley bisected by Highway I-15. Panorama prepared the successful Plan […]
