Abstract
Geoheat is now being extracted for electrical power generation from a number of resources in thermally active regions. The most notable examples are The Geysers, California; Larderello, Italy, and Wairakei, New Zealand. Common to all these cases is that the energy is being extracted from natural hydrothermal resources on the basis of free flowing boreholes. This type of operation may be termed as free geoheat production.
