A geothermal system must include a map showing production and injection wells along with the location of the generating turbine or turbines;

(f) photographs of the installed and operational commercial energy system;

(g) estimated annual electricity production in kilowatt hours for the commercial energy system; and

If an applicant is unable or unwilling to provide the information requested, OED may deny the Application for Authorization.
