Oct 07, 2009US Geothermal Capacity to Increase Threefold as Industry Heats Up
The Geothermal Energy Association released their US Geothermal Power Production and Development Update for September 2009.
The update reports how the US has increased its geothermal productivity substantially since 2006, where geothermal capacity was reported at 2,850MW. As of September, the US has now reached a geothermal capacity of 3,152MW with a further 6,442.9MW of new geothermal capacity currently under development. Unconfirmed projects, which may be developed in the next few years, could increase that new capacity to 7,109.9MW.
Question: How much geothermal development has Canada achieved?
Answer: 0MW!!!
Please contact your local government official if you are disgraced by this number. CanGEA is doing all we can to help initiate geothermal (clean, renewable, BASE-LOAD power) development in Canada.
