Geothermal Recovery Act Funding Webcast

The Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) presented its American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Webcast on Monday, June 29, and you can now view the full Webcast anytime you wish; you can also access the slide presentations at our Webcast page.

The webcast presented program objectives and clarified the technical features of and the application process for the currently available FOAs. Geothermal is experiencing a renaissance and it is our hope that this webcast serves to further heat up the future of geothermal energy.
