Hawai„i History
1881: King Kalakaua asks friend, Thomas Edison, to find way to harness volcano‟s energy
1961–1962: First geothermal wells drilled in Kapoho by Richard Lyman
1981–1989: HGP-A 3 MW geothermal facility proves viability; but with drawback of H2S release and noise
1993: First commercial geothermal power plant startup located in Puna for reinjection of brine and H2S• Noise abatement

Ulupalakua Ranch, Maui Outreach is the first step in
any new exploration – the community, public officials and other stakeholders will be informed and consulted every step of the way
Dain Kane is our Outreach Coordinator
Charles Maxwell, Sr is our Cultural Expert
Munekiyo & Hiraga is our permitting advisor
Lease of ~8,000 acres of surface access rights from Ulupalakua Ranch

US Dept of Energy Award Geothermal Technologies Program award funded by
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Goal is to demonstrate use of innovative technologies in
reducing risk of geothermal exploration well siting Build 3-D model of subsurface at Ulupalakua Ranch using
innovative technologies based on model of subsurface at Puna
Partner with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and UC Santa Cruz
DOE provides ~$4.9M and Ormat matches at ~50% Funds model building, 2 exploration wells, and testing

We will use a combination of traditional geophysical and geochemical tools with exploration suites not typically used in geothermal exploration• These techniques will be assessed
first at Ormat‟s Puna geothermal field – a „known‟ system
• The exploration suites will then be applied at Ulupalakua Ranch (a private lease on Maui); a site of similar, but older volcanism to Kilauea/Puna

Next Steps Continue exploration and outreach Apply to Dept of Land and Natural Resources for
geothermal leases and expanded geothermal resource subzone (GRS):• “mining” (geothermal) lease covering subsurface of Ulupalakua
Ranch lands (non-competitive)• “mining” (geothermal) lease covering surface and subsurface of
State parcel (competitive bid)• GRS expansion covers Ranch lands and State parcel• GRS does not extend into Conservation District• Single EIS supports both lease and zoning applications
Maui County adopts geothermal resource permit (GRP) processing rules, allows County to issue permits for geothermal exploration and production wells

Next Steps Ormat selects 2-6 exploration well sites
• Apply to County for GRP• Additional EA/EIS focused on exploration wells
Test wells for commercial temperature and flow If commercial resource found, possibly:
• Drill one or more additional wells to support commercial production
• Additional EIS focused on power plant/commercial use• Construct power plant
