Abstract Almost 30 years ago a geothermal power plant commenced operations near Lakeview Oregon. While it only operated for 12 months, it represented a milestone that only now may be exceeded. This paper documents recent geothermal power exploration and development efforts in Oregon. Geothermal explorationists are actively working on six prospects around the state. They are located at Newberry volcano, Crump Geyser, Neal Hot Springs, Klamath Falls (2), and Paisley. These sites may have as much potential as 200 MW. By the time of presentation in April 2010 at least one of these projects may be operating.
