Abstract The 32,000 kW Coso Geothermal Power Plant was put into operation in August, 1987, using packaged type large capacity portable turbine. And two other geothermal power plant, Freeport Resources, Co, 11,000 kW x 2 Bear Canyon and 14,350 kW x 2 West Ford Flat Plants, will start operation at the end of this year, using portable turbine generators. This concepts for constructing geothermal power plant is aiming at economical geothermal power generation and starting operation in a short period. It is applicable today up to 30,000 kW class, using several standardized kinds of turbine generator.
