2019 Geothermal Market Report Fact Sheet

The 2020 U.S. Geothermal Power Production and District Heating Market Report is being developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Geothermal Rising, previously Geothermal Resources Council (GRC), with support from the Geothermal Technologies Office of the U.S. Department of Energy. The report is intended to provide geothermal policymakers, regulators, developers, researchers, engineers, financiers, and other stakeholders with up-to-date information and data reflecting the 2019 geothermal power production and district heating markets, technologies, and trends in the United States. Analysis of the current state of the U.S. geothermal market and industry for both the power production and district heating sectors will be presented, with consideration of developing power projects. In addition, the report will evaluate the impact of state and federal policy, present current research on geothermal development, and offer a future outlook for the U.S. geothermal market and industry.

This fact sheet depicts the power generation capacity, power production fleet age, capacity by plant technology type, and projects in development through 2019, as well as the future outlook of the market.
