AI Summary

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) estimates that deploying enhanced geothermal systems could cut California’s need to expand interregional transmission by up to 53%. Conventional geothermal power is limited to sites with naturally occurring heat, fluid, and permeable rock. Next‑generation geothermal technology can create engineered pathways and supply fluid, allowing it to be installed in many more locations across the state. This broader deployment could reduce transmission expansion needs and lower costs.
