Lihir Location: Papua New Guinea Operator: Lihir Gold Ltd Configuration: 1 X 6 MW, 3 X 10 MW Operation: 2003-2005 T/G supplier: GE, Ideal Quick facts: Lihir Gold's operations are located on Niolam Island (aka Lihir Island), a volcanic sea mount in New Ireland Province. The 6-MW T/G set was the first geothermal plant in PNG. The plant will be extended by the addition of two more 10-MW sets and is connected to the island grid by four 11kV underground circuits. Use of the geothermal facility will displace generation by of the 70-MW Putput diesel power plant. Photograph courtesy
