Hydrothermal Power Plan Explores 200000 Kilowatts
A proposed hydrothermal project on the South Coquille near Eden Ridge could reach 100000 kilowatts or more, with coal deposits potentially enabling a 200000 kilowatt steam plant. Water would travel 12 miles through Eden Ridge to drop 1650 feet to a Coquille river powerhouse at McGurdy Creek. Pacific Power biologists say fish-friendly upstream dam would improve downstream fishing.
