![]() The objective of this work is to provide a single, comprehensive database containing evaluated reference data useful in assessing geothermal sites for their potential to produce electrical power. However, the data is widely scattered and largely unevaluated, thereby impeding the analysis for predictions of power production in the decades 1980, 1990, and beyond the year 2000. ![]() Data on the power potential and progress toward utilization is needed for these new areas to identify impediments to utilization and to forecast power on-line in the next decades. However, the major new sources of geothermal energy in the next decade are expected to be hot brine systems located in the Western more ยป United States. Current electrical power produced is 608 MWe at The Geysers in California which obtains steam to drive turbines from steam wells. During the past ten years much progress has been made in the United States to develop geothermal energy and to construct power plants. ![]() ![]() ![]() The National Geothermal Information Resource (GRID) project of the Lawrence Berkley Laboratory was initiated in 1974 with the objective of compiling both basic and site-specific data on major aspects of geothermal energy utilization. ![]()
