Plant commissioning activities for the Phase I expansion have commenced and the unit is expected to be in commercial operation in December 2011 .

"The mechanical completion of the Phase I expansion at San Jacinto-Tizate is a major milestone for Ram Power and our subsidiary, Polaris Energy Nicaragua, S.A. ," stated Shuman Moore , CEO of Ram Power . "The San Jacinto project has had significant challenges in its development, but through the hard work and determination of our employees in Nicaragua and the United States , we are now closer to our goal of producing clean geothermal power for the people of Nicaragua and value to our shareholders."
