Funding Mechanisms for Federal Geothermal Permitting
This submission includes a presentation and paper for the Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) that discuss:
- Federal agency revenues received for geothermal projects, including: (1) lease revenues, (2) fixed fees, and (3) cost recovery fees for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS); and
- Potential federal agency budget sources for processing geothermal applications, including: (1) cost-recovery fees for services rendered, (2) set-aside funds (such as those employed by the Energy Policy Act of 2005), and (3) the appropriations process.
The paper then analyzes the three budget sources as mechanisms for increasing funds available to federal agencies for processing geothermal permits and approvals. This paper concludes that both set-asides and cost-recovery fees for services rendered were effective ways of ensuring sufficient funding for processing geothermal authorizations on federally-managed public lands in a timely manner.
