GEOTHERMAL DEAL BRIDGING THE GAP FOR FUTURE CLEAN DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Geothermal power has been struggling with the same barriers to development for years. It's a frustrating situation: while geothermal is a reliable baseload form of renewable energy, its development expenses overshadow its obvious long-term benefits. Meanwhile, other renewable sources such as wind and solar are able to take advantage of state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies and other incentives due to their lower costs of deployment. 'Clearly we have a situation where geothermal is not given its due, it is not properly valued, and is being put on parity with wind and solar when we know they are intermittent technologies,' explains Halley Dickey, director of business development at TAS Energy.
