The U.S. Geothermal Production and Development Update, August 2008, published by the Washington, D.C.-based Geothermal Energy Association, shows a 20% increase in the number of new geothermal power projects under development in the U.S. as of January 2008. "The surge in new geothermal power development continues," said Karl Gawell, GEA's Executive Director. The report identified 103 projects underway in 13 states (see Table, below). When developed, these projects could potentially supply up to 3,979 MW of power, meeting the needs of roughly 4 million homes. When we add that number to the 2,957 MW currently online, geothermal power could reach nearly 7,000 MW. At this pace of development, geothermal production could exceed 15,000 MW by 2025, which is significantly more more than the 12,558 MW projected by the Geothermal Task Force in a report that was submitted to the Western Governors' Clean and Diversified Energy Initiative in 2006. http://www.geo-energy.org/publications/reports/Geothermal_Update_August_7_2008_FINAL.pdf You can obtain the full report at the above website.

Why is the use of geothermal energy limited?

The use of geothermal energy is limited due to the high upfront costs of drilling and installing geothermal power plants, as well as the specific geographic locations required for efficient geothermal energy production. Additionally, the technology for harnessing geothermal energy is still developing, which also contributes to its limited use.
