Puna Geothermal Power plant increases production 8 megawatts in 2011 without having to drill another well by using the Brine component of geothermal fluid "originally unused". How again Exactly did the Puna Geothermal electrical power plant "FINISH enhancing" their production 8MW in 2011 if they did not drill new wells?
-------
They were not using the full capability of all that super-heated steam/brine to begin with as they had not been permitted to sell more electricity. All they needed was some extra piping and additional turbines.
BTW, I wish you would stop claiming that PGV "uses 4.2 million gallons of water per day". It isn't true. All of the steam/water that comes up the well, is later sent right back down another well (re-injected) so that it can be reheated by the volcano to be used again.
