Some 58 new geothermal energy projects now are under development in the United States, according to a survey by the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) - an industry trade organization. “This represents the U.S. geothermal industry's most dramatic wave of expansion since the 1980s,” notes Karl Gawell, GEA's executive director.
These projects, when developed, would provide up to 2,250 megawatts of electric power capacity, generating approximately 18 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
