Investment Opportunities in North American Geothermal Energy North America is entering a new investment cycle in geothermal energy. The United States offers the region’s deepest commercial market and the largest advanced-geothermal pipeline; Mexico provides proven high-temperature volcanic resources and an established utility-scale industry; while Canada presents an earlier-stage opportunity centered on sedimentary-basin geothermal, direct-use heating, closed-loop systems, and oil-and-gas technology transfer. The investment case now extends well beyond conventional geothermal power plants. It includes enhanced geothermal systems, advanced closed-loop systems, geothermal heat pumps, district heating, industrial heat, geothermal storage, lithium extraction from geothermal brines, data-center power, and hybrid renewable-energy projects. In the United States, utilities had already procured or agreed to procure 1,007 MW of next-generation geothermal capacity through 12 power-purchase agreem...
Fort Polk Goes Geothermal: How a $30 Million Energy Upgrade Is Transforming U.S. Military Housing By: Robert Buluma In a world increasingly defined by energy security, climate responsibility, and infrastructure modernization, a quiet revolution is unfolding beneath the homes of thousands of U.S. military families. At the heart of this transformation is a landmark geothermal energy project completed at , where advanced ground-source heat pump systems are redefining how military housing consumes energy. The project—completed by in partnership with between the two entities represents a $30 million investment in clean energy, efficiency, and resilience. But beyond the numbers lies a powerful story about how geothermal technology is quietly reshaping energy systems in one of the most demanding operational environments: military installations. The project not only modernizes energy systems across thousands of homes but also sets a precedent for future energy transitions across ...
