19 Example Steam field (production drilling and steam gathering) Developer (Same or new, also main investor) Energy purchaser (PPA in place) Lender (Bank) Specialized geothermal resource and chemistry advisors Drilling contractor Infrastructure and steam gathering contractor Engineering and environmental advisors

28 Communication plan Higher score = communication more important When to send information During milestones achievement Some may require regular progress info When drastic project changes occur Etc. How are the informed Directly: , post, meeting Through media

31 Summary Primary stakeholder are the most important, but also the most obvious as they are directly involved Finding and handling the secondary stakeholder can be more complicated Keeping stakeholders informed is important, lower risk and can provide opportunities
