Raser Technologies Inc. (RZ) yesterday provided an update on its geothermal activities and its PHEV project. The company is gradually transiting from a developmental stage company towards a geothermal power producer.   Raser is progressing rapidly on the Lightning Dock No. 1 geothermal project.

The revision is expected to include an increase in the expected output from the Lightning Dock project as well as an increase in the price of energy under the PPA.   Raser is now in the final stages of testing the fifth production well that is needed for the completion of its first geothermal plant Thermo No. 1 as ...

  Raser Technologies Inc. (RZ) is gradually transiting from a developmental stage company towards a geothermal power producer. As of now, only its first geothermal plant Thermo No. 1 Plant (Hatch Plant in Utah) with an annualized capacity of 10MW is generating revenues by selling electricity to the city of Anaheim since April 2009. The company plans to add 40MW annually to its capacity over the three year period 2010 – 2012 to bring its total geothermal power generation annualized capacity to 130MW. Raser Technologies, however, is facing financial constraints. Earlier this month, Raser’s loan guarantee application was denied by the Department of Energy (DOE). If approved, DOE would have provided 80% of the approximately $190 million project cost for Raser’s 42MW – East Thermo geothermal project. The company’s hopes now rest on governmental funding in its quest to become a commercially viable geothermal power producer. Also, ...

Raser Technologies (RZ) is gradually transforming itself from a developmental stage company to an operating geothermal power producer, although not a "pure play".

Looking forward, this yet to break-even company will likely transform its barren financials through the commencement of production at its first geothermal plant in Utah, purchased power agreements (PPAs), turbine deliveries, extension of the production tax credit (PTC), in addition to Symetron's progress in its SUV demonstration vehicle and heavy duty alternators.

However, limited revenue potential, mounting losses, and dependency on external funds in light of tight credit markets continue to collectively weigh on the stock.

As with most alternative energy companies, RZ is currently valued entirely on very optimistic future expectations, and if the company lives up to expectations, RZ may prove to be a great long-term investment.

Accordingly, with a mixed outlook for the stock, we maintain a speculative Hold recommendation on RZ

The funding arrangement provides non-recourse debt financing and tax equity capital to construct the company’s thermo geothermal power plant. Under the terms of the agreement, the tax equity capital is provided by a tax equity partner in exchange for the majority of the tax benefits provided by the renewable energy project.

Following completion of its initial funding phase, Raser Technologies is set to proceed with the construction of its 10 megawatt (MW) Thermo geothermal power project near Beaver, Utah. Tax equity capital has been provided in exchange for tax benefits provided by the renewable energy project.

The plant is designed to power approximately 9,000 homes with zero emissions and will utilize PureCycle® geothermal power systems from UTC Power, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. As the hands on general construction contractor, Raser has guaranteed the completion of the project by October. The life of the plant will be approximately 35 years. However, the useful life of the geothermal resource is to be renewable and to outlast the life of the power plant itself.

Raser believes that the power plant could eventually produce additional power through “cascading” or “bottom cycling.” This finding is based on the results of an independent study done by
