McGinness Hills Geothermal Complex, Geothermal power complex in Lander County, Nevada, United States

The McGinness Hills Geothermal Complex is a group of three geothermal power stations in a valley between the Toiyabe Range and the Simpson Park Range in Lander County, Nevada. Two 45 MW stations were commissioned in July 2012 and a third 48 MW station on 20 December 2018. The complex is owned by Ormat and is the largest geothermal complex in Nevada and the fourth largest in the United States.

The complex's first two 45 MW power stations were commissioned in July 2012. A third station of 48 MW followed on 20 December 2018, bringing the site to three units. All are owned by Ormat, making it the largest geothermal complex in Nevada and the fourth largest in the United States.

The site demonstrates how this region generates electricity from the earth's natural heat rather than relying on traditional power sources. Visitors can observe a working example of renewable energy production embedded in the Nevada landscape.

The complex sits in a valley between the Toiyabe Range and Simpson Park Range, reached by unpaved desert roads in Lander County, so confirm access with owner Ormat before setting out. Summer heat and winter snow on the surrounding ranges shape when a visit is feasible.

The complex is the largest geothermal complex in Nevada and the fourth largest in the United States, owned entirely by Ormat. Its three power stations sit in a valley between the Toiyabe Range and the Simpson Park Range in Lander County.
