Next-Generation Geothermal Technologies Poised to Expand U.S. Clean Energy Capacity

Geothermal energy is a long-standing part of the U.S. power system. But it remains limited, supplying less than 1% of the country's electricity.

A new generation of geothermal technologies can tap Earth's heat energy in places without conventional geothermal, producing consistently available clean electricity and heat across the country.

Next-generation geothermal has already seen significant cost declines and well drilling improvements in the past five years, with projects beginning to come online and major deals signed with utilities and large customers.
