The Geysers, a complex of 22 geothermal power stations located in Sonoma and Lake counties of California, was the first geothermal area to be exploited for commercial electricity generation when Unit 1 was commissioned in September 1960. The complex was then developed into the largest geothermal field in the world with a nameplate capacity of 1,517 MW and an annual generation of 6,516 GWh in 2018.This is a list of all operational geothermal power stations in the United States as of 2018.Proposed
