Vancouver, B.C. (March 11, 2010), Nevada Geothermal Power Inc. (NGP) (TSX.V: NGP, OTCBB: NGLPF) is pleased to announce that work to replace the damaged power cable systems at the Faulkner 1 plant has enabled all three turbine generator units to be placed into operation and for the Company to re-establish commercial power production. For the past five days, the Faulkner 1 geothermal plant has been producing at 34.5 MW (Net).

New deep injection capacity, resulting from the connection of well 55-15 into plant operations, has improved reservoir pressure support and enabled plant output to be increased accordingly. Output is expected to increase further as additional wells under development are brought on line.
