c. 1964, Caithness's initial strategy was natural resource exploration (e.g., gold, silver, oil and gas). c. 1980's, focus was on exploration of domestic geothermal sources to pair with development of electric generating plants. Primary geothermal projects were the 240 MW
Coso Geothermal Project in California, the 60 MW Dixie Valley and 17 MW
Steamboat Springs Geothermal Projects in Nevada. c. 1990s, Caithness stayed the power industry, expanding into renewable wind and solar power, and simple and combined-cycle natural-gas powered generating facilities. In 2007, Caithness sold a portion of its power plant portfolio to Arclight Capital Partners, which renamed the portfolio Terra-Gen Power. Caithness has since refocused efforts on environmentally progressive fossil fuel projects and renewable power (wind, solar, and geothermal) projects. == Operations ==
