Communities Will Partner with DOE Experts, National Labs, and Regional Organizations to Accelerate Access to Clean Power, Help Lower Energy Costs and Increase Resilience

DOE selected Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to receive up to $6 million to help expand the deployment of geothermal heating and cooling technology at federal sites

The Geothermal Technologies Office’s largest initiative, the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE), has kicked off its first portfolio of research and development projects following Solicitation 2020-1.

Geothermal energy has been largely inaccessible, but that will soon change, thanks to researchers in Utah who have injected fluid into hot rocks underground.

DOE Announces Winners of the 2022 Geothermal Collegiate Competition

To help reduce energy burden—the percentage of gross household income spent on energy costs—and fossil fuel dependence for American communities, DOE intends to issue the Community Geothermal Heating and Cooling Design and Deployment Funding Opportunity

DOE Requests Information on Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Investments to Spur Growth in Geothermal Energy, A Source of Round-the-Clock Clean Power

Renewable energy projects can’t get off the ground without power purchase agreements (PPAs), so when a new geothermal PPA gets signed, a geothermal star is born. Learn more about PPAs in this three-part blog series.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced up to $20 million in funding to lower the cost of developing geothermal energy by demonstrating faster drilling technologies to shorten the time it takes to develop projects overall.
