Letter: Utah’s geothermal momentum is growing

Utah continues to show why it is becoming an integral part of the country’s geothermal energy industry. In September, the Department of Energy selected five Utah projects to receive funds for geothermal development, including projects from several Utah-based companies and two with the University of Utah. These projects are conducting tests of new geothermal technologies and exploring resources that could support future energy development, leading to greater energy expansion in our state. As we prepare for rising electricity demand, this work is increasingly important as Utah needs abundant, reliable power for our communities. Geothermal can provide around the clock electricity regardless of the weather, giving Utah another dependable source of power as demand grows.
