Our first project binary heat power plant, Waita is capable of producing 1MW by utilizing the heat from the so-called “bottoming cycle” of an existing geothermal power plant. By tapping into this residual heat, which would otherwise go unused, this new addition helps to increase the efficiency of the larger power plant. The project was put into operation in the first half of 2020, but the area was hit shortly afterwards by extensive rainfall and floods which led to a prolonged outage. Since the restart, the power plant has continued to show good results and stable electricity production. The site has also received a lot of attention and had many visitors who are interested in increasing efficiency at other power plants.

SANSUI
Sansui is a geothermal plant located close to the existing Waita power plant. It will use an existing well to produce electricity that will be sold to the grid. In early 2021, extensive preparations were made for the development of this project. Among other things, several permit applications were made and an extensive flow test of the existing well was carried out. We anticipate that this Sansui will be commissioned later in 2021.

IWANA (OKUE)
We currently have land-lease and network capacity agreements in place for our third project, Okue. It is anticipated that the future plant will generate up to 1.9 MW. Drilling was supposed to begin in Q4 2020, but has been postponed pending an evaluation of the exact drilling location.
Baseload Power Taiwan (倍速羅得公司) 取經世界各地分公司的知識與實作經驗，以下是他們的專案實例。
冰島
我們第一個踏足的市場在冰島絕非巧合，這個北歐國家擁有最成熟的地熱能源市場。2018年1月，Baseload Capital (倍速羅得投資公司)投資加入當地的地熱發電開發商Varmaorka，以協助更多發電廠建造。Varmaorka目前在冰島監管10至15處著名的區域供熱設備，主要為家戶及溫室供熱。多數設備已營運超過30年，在調控水流與溫度方面都有穩定的營運經驗。每一間地熱發電廠都與現有的基礎設施相連結，從熱源直到區域供熱系統。所有區域供熱系統皆能容納五至十個Climeon熱能模組，數量視規模及水溫而定。
日本
Baseload Power Japan (倍速羅得日本分公司) 2018年秋天，Baseload Capital (倍速羅得投資公司)在日本成立了第一個子公司，並且，僅在18個月之內，即建造並營運了兩間地熱發電廠，分別是Waita與Midori，目前第三個專案 Sansui 也正在開發進行中。Baseload Power Japan (倍速羅得日本分公司) 的公司使命是與在地社區共好，一齊開發並永續經營地熱發電廠
美國
Baseload Power U.S. (倍速羅得美國分公司) 2018年2月，我們與加州的Wendel Energy Operations簽署合約，建立債務融資架構，讓現有的地熱發電廠重新供電，2020年7月，我們收購了該專案。Wendel的廠房已營運超過30年，水流及溫度都相當穩定。預計2021下半年該廠即可重啟營運。全新生產的電力將會轉售給輸電網。除此之外，我們在內華達州簽訂了三筆土地租用合約，該處也是開發地熱專案的潛力熱點。同時我們也與Chevron Technology Ventures簽訂合作意向書，準備於Chevron的油井開發前導專案。
