Abstract: . . .  High-temperature well sites spread across the southern half of the state offer the opport- unity for electricity production. Electricity Generation Potential: 5 million MWh/yr. Compared to other states in the West, Idaho has a large amount of installed biomass capacity (120 MW or 4% of the state’s energy mix). Electricity Generation Potential: 9 million MWh/yr.
