Hudson Ranch operates in the renewable energy semiconductor manufacturing sector and is based in Southern California. Founded in 2006, it began as an independent power producer focused on developing geothermal resources in the Salton Sea region. The company emphasizes a full‑suite approach to project development, with personnel experienced across origination, permitting, well field development, resource acquisition, plant engineering, construction, and operations. In early 2012, it completed the 55-megawatt John L. Featherstone plant at Hudson Ranch I, the first standalone geothermal facility built in the Salton Sea resource in 20 years. Since commencing power sales under a 30-year agreement with Salt River Project, the plant has maintained an operating availability above 95 percent and serves about 50,000 homes in SRP's service area. The company maintains a pipeline of geothermal projects intended to help California and Southwestern utilities meet renewable energy targets while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
