Abstract
The Utility Geothermal Working Group begins its second year of operation. This paper describes the progress made in the first year of the group’s existence. Activities include monthly meetings and webcasts that focus on the three geothermal technologies: power generation, direct use, and geothermal heat pumps. The paper identifies key findings that emerged in conducting the monthly meetings and webcasts, mainly focusing on power generation. There is also some discussion on future plans of the working group.
