The Report is being developed by NREL and the GRC, with financial support from the Geothermal Technologies Office of the U.S. DOE and the GRC. It is intended to provide geothermal policymakers, regulators, developers, researchers, and other stakeholders with up-to-date information reflecting the 2019 geothermal power production and district heating markets in the United States. It will also present analysis of the current state of the U.S. geothermal industry and markets for both the power production and district heating sectors, with special 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 industry. Data for the 2020 report have been compiled from previous GEA reports, the U.S. Energy Information Association, and from a GRC industry survey conducted in 2020 via a questionnaire sent to all known companies operating U.S. geothermal power plants or with projects in development.

This presentation is a summary of the U.S. power production and developing project data collected for the 2020 report.
