The first geothermal area to be exploited for commercial electricity generation was The Geysers, a complex of 22 geothermal power stations located in Sonoma and Lake counties of California, which was commissioned in September 1960. [1]
The region is the top producer of geothermal energy supply in the country. The province of Leyte hosts the biggest geothermal plant in the Philippines. Still, geothermal exploration is ongoing in the nearby province of Biliran. With abundance of river system, the region has potential in hydroelectric production.

This is a list of operational geothermal power stations with a current installed capacity of at least 10 MW. The Geysers in California, United States is the largest geothermal power station in the world with a nameplate capacity of 1,590 MW and an annual generation of 6,516 GWh in 2018. Geothermal ...
With several geothermal power plants in the Philippines (including in Bicol, Leyte, Negros Island, and Mindanao), Energy Development Corporation provides 62% (or 1,200 MW) of the country’s total installed geothermal capacity.
By 2005, geothermal energy accounted for 17.5% of the country's electricity production. [8] More recent statistics from the IGA show that combined energy from the nation's six geothermal fields, located in the islands of Luzon, Leyte, Negros and Mindanao, still accounts for approximately 17% of the country's electricity generation.
