Summary
Texas is well known as an energy and economic powerhouse. Given Texas' global leadership in oil, natural gas, and renewable energy, it comes as no surprise that we are also pursuing the abundant geothermal energy resources within Texas. Using skills from over 100 years of drilling activity, Texas will inevitably become the epicenter of geothermal energy development.
To continue our track record as a leader in the energy sector, both in the United States and the world, we must ensure that our state utilizes all the tools available to advance our industries, create jobs, grow our capital investments, and secure and increase our energy supply with clean, reliable, cost-effective baseload energy. In Texas, we can accelerate all of these priorities with geothermal energy.
Geothermal energy is an abundant resource that is produced by installing a power plant and drilling a well to the geothermal resource below it. The geothermal resource consists of subsurface heat that can be converted to utility-scale power delivered through the electric grid or produced as heat for district heating. Geothermal energy is virtually free of carbon emissions. It serves as a reliable source of dispatchable energy that is resilient to weather events, can aid in creating new options for off-grid power, and can help strengthen the power grid across the state.
