Project Spotlight:
The Geysers Geothermal Visitor Center Reopens
At the newly reopened Visitor Center, located at the largest geothermal complex in the world, the spotlight is on the future potential of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).
Enhanced Geothermal Systems basics
DOE estimates that the application of EGS technology is capable of providing at least 100,000 MW of electricity within 50 years.
Geothermal Data Systems
To support geothermal development, the Geothermal Technologies Program collects geothermal data, conducts analyses and maintains this information in the National Geothermal Data System.
The Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) works in partnership with industry, academia, and DOE's national laboratories to establish geothermal energy as an economically competitive contributor to the U.S. energy supply. Learn more about GTP. For information about heat pumps, please visit the Building Technologies Program or call 202-586-9127.
