EI Paso County (EPC) would evaluate the commercial viability of low temperature geothermal resources in the McGregor test area (or other Jess known sites) on the Fort Bliss Military Reservation (Fort Bliss) to determine if those resources have adequate temperatures, flow rates and volume to justify commercial development at any scale with an eye toward 20 megawatt as a target.
