Geothermal Energy: Heating Up
A Renewed Interest in Energy From The Earth
published 22nd January 2025
Geothermal energy is beginning to attract new investors to the space with a combination of emerging technologies and an increasing recognition of the ability of geothermal energy to provide predictably priced, long-term, low-carbon heating and power. Investors have historically been put off by the high upfront capital cost of geothermal projects relative to the perceived risks of development, however, with an improved understanding of the risks (combined with improvements in mitigation available), attention is now turning to the sector. There have been steps to increase policy support, notably in the EU, and more targeted support, commensurate with other renewable technologies would accelerate the next stage of growth for the sector.
Geothermal energy has been growing in interest for investors as recognition grows that this is a key decarbonisation tool that can provide long term predictably priced heat and power.
