U.S. DOE Announces $7 Million to Help Geothermal Energy Support a Decarbonized Electricity Grid by 2035

Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal Technologies Office announced a funding opportunity of up to $7 million to develop regional grid models to assess how clean, firm geothermal power can support an equitable energy transition through decarbonization and study its effects on the grid at various deployment levels. Geothermal energy has the potential to provide firm, flexible, renewable power to over 65 million homes across the United States.

GTO intends to fund regional grid modeling studies within specific power pools, joint utilities groups, utility service territories, or Tribal jurisdictions in the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawai’i, or U.S. territories. Through this funding opportunity, GTO aims to quantify the role of geothermal power in an equitable, decarbonized grid.

The mission of the U.S. Energy Department is to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. Learn more.
