Description: | Puna Geothermal Venture is the only commercial producer of geothermal energy in Hawaii, quietly producing geothermal-generated electricity for Hawaii Electric Light Company, working to be a good neighbor, and a steady supplier of power. Geothermal energy is a top source of renewable energy. When the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, the heat from the volcano continues to produce a steady flow of power. The site explains how power is generated by tapping deep into the heart of the Big Island of Hawaii converting steam into electricity. |
