NTB (Non-technical Barriers) - Interviews with Geothermal Stakeholders for Geothermal Development in the Salton Sea.

Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: April 25, 2026 at 08:42 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 27, 2022 at 09:05 PM
Non-technical barriers to deploying geothermal electricity projects in the United States can create significant delays and other challenges, leading to higher project risk and costs, lost opportunities to access policy incentives, and ultimately decreased competitiveness against other electricity generation technologies. These non-technical barriers cover multiple aspects of geothermal project development, including land access and permitting as well as other environmental regulations. Interviews were held with relevant stakeholders in California and Nevada to discuss their experiences with land access and permitting approvals for geothermal projects from the perspectives of both regulators and developers.
