Geothermal energy, popular during the 1970’s oil crisis, is now experiencing a resurgence. Driven by RPS demand and carbon policies, there has been a recent surge globally in geothermal pipeline development activity. The US market leads the way with over 4,400 MW of geothermal plants in the pipeline, out of a total geothermal pipeline approaching 9,000 MW globally. Improving technologies such as low temperature plants are driving down costs and could lead to much shorter development timelines, while Enhanced Geothermal System developments could pave the way for the industry’s longer term growth.
A new study from EER, Global Geothermal Markets and Strategies, 2009–2020, is a critical resource to help guide you through the global geothermal market landscape. What is the potential for geothermal and when will specific geothermal markets take‐off? Which utilities and geothermal‐IPPs are leading the way and which are looking to enter? Where are the opportunities and who is best positioned to capitalize? Following are just a few of the key trends addressed in EER’s new geothermal study:
