MAGMA POWER COMPANY TO BUILD NEW GEOTHERMAL
POWER PLANT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
SAN DIEGO, California, October 14, 1994...Magma Power Company (Nasdaq NNM:
MGMA) today announced that it plans to build a new 36 MW geothermal power plant
at the Salton Sea in Southern California to supply power to Southern California
Edison (SCE) under two long term power purchase contracts with SCE.
The contracts, which are expected to be combined under an agreement being
negotiated between Magma and SCE, consist of a 16 MW Interim Standard Offer No.
4 contract originally assigned to Magma's geothermal resource at Fish Lake,
Nevada, and a 20 MW expansion option under a negotiated contract that was
acquired as a part of the company's acquisition of Unocal's Salton Sea
geothermal assets in March, 1993. The new plant will utilize the cost-saving pH
Mod process technology. Magma expects the plant to be operational in late 1996
or early 1997.
The definitive agreement between Magma and SCE to combine the contracts is
still being finally negotiated and is subject to final review and approval by
Edison senior management and to approval by the California Public Utilities
Commission. An application seeking approval is expected to be filed with the
CPUC before year end.

Magma Power Company to Build New Geothermal Power Plant ... (page 2)
Commenting on the announcement, Magma Power Company President and Chief
Executive Officer Ralph W. Boeker stated, "This is a win-win development for all
involved. When approved, the combined plant will enable Magma Power to realize
economies of scale that will lower our costs and enhance our return on
investment in the project. SCE will share in these benefits through price
concessions, and California ratepayers will in turn benefit from lower rates."
Regarding the Fish Lake, Nevada resource, Bocker noted that Magma has done
considerable exploration and development work to prove the capability of the
geothermal resource and is confident the resource is capable of supporting
commercial development. Accordingly, Magma intends to refocus its efforts at
Fish Lake toward securing another power contract for development of the
resource. "As Nevada addresses its growing demand for power, renewable energy
sources such as geothermal will play a meaningful role," stated Boeker, "and
Magma's Fish Lake resource will position the company well to help Nevada fulfill
its need for competitive, environmentally advantageous energy."
Magma Power Company is a leader in the geothermal industry. The company
currently operates seven geothermal plants in Southern California on geothermal
leaseholds and fee interests held by the company and holds additional geothermal
leaseholds and fee interest in other parts of California and Nevada. Magma is
also currently constructing three power plants in the Philippines with a total
capacity of 231 MW.

Prominent Industry Analysts believe Magma shares are undervalued
-----------------------------------------------------
Comments
-----------------------------------------------------
"Although CE's $35 per share offer falls short of our
$42 P/E valuation for Magma shares, it is in line
with our $36 NPV valuation. However, this amount
does not reflect any upside of potential new projects
in the Philippines and Indonesia." (9/20/94)
Michael N. Cha "Our rationale for a buyout price higher than $35 per
J.P. Morgan share is that an acquirer should pay something for
Securities, Inc. the upside potential afforded by possible new
Magma projects in the Philippines, Indonesia,
California as well as other potential geothermal and
pumped storage technologies." (9/29/94)

Comments
-----------------------------------------------------
"(Magma's) very conservative balance sheet and
strong fundamentals does not seem to be reflected
in the offering price (of $35)." (9/20/94)
"We believe MGMA is still undervalued even after a
26% run-up after the merger announcement which
brought the stock back to more normal valuations.
If MGMA were to sell at the average price to book of
the IPPs in our universe (2.8 times). The stock would
Daniele M. Seitz be worth $43.75 (the offer price is only 2.2 times
UBS Securities book)."
Long term, we believe that with the pipeline of
plants under development (Magma's) earnings leap
to $5.35 per share by 1998, resulting in 19%
compound annual growth in EPS over the period
1993-1998 as 750 MW is expected to be added to
its existing base of 154 MW." (10/4/94)
