Summary
The city of Cascade, Idaho is currently conducting a feasibility study on the use of geothermal for district heating and cooling, potentially lowering energy costs by 66% for homes and businesses connected to the geothermal system.
The “Geothermal Heating and Cooling District Planning Project” aims to investigate the feasibility of a heating and cooling district, determine the footprint and design for the district, identify potential users, identify workforce development and training needs related to the district, develop a financial plan/cost estimate, and estimate the costs and benefits for interested customers. The project has received a USD 200,000 grant from the US Department of Energy and another USD 100,000 from the Idaho Office of Energy and Minerals. The study is expected to be completed by 2026.
