Geothermal

Geothermal energy represents a significant opportunity for sustainable power generation in the United States. With recent advancements in drilling technology and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), this renewable resource has the potential to provide reliable, baseload clean energy across the country. The Inflation Reduction Act includes specific provisions to support geothermal development through tax credits and funding programs, creating new pathways for public utilities and municipalities to invest in geothermal projects. These provisions create opportunities for a reorganization in how geothermal energy is developed in America, enabling public entities to play a leading role in expanding this renewable resource.

Center for Public Enterprise works with local, state and federal public agencies, officials, and advocacy organizations on program design and implementation related to geothermal energy development.
