United States Geothermal Supply Curves 2024
This data packet contains supply curves and a composite siting exclusion TIFF for EGS and hydrothermal geothermal across the contiguous United States. The supply curves offer comprehensive metrics such as capacity (MW), generation (MWh), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), levelized cost of transmission (LCOT), and more for each reV site. The composite exclusion TIFF is a single file that delineates areas where geothermal installations are permissible based on various siting assumptions. This data packet contains information for a single scenario across four depths and two technologies (enhanced geothermal systems and hydrothermal).

"description": "This paper describes our process for evaluating data sources for the modeling, and presents five preliminary reV geothermal results. More specifically, we present two sets of resource data that represent upper and lower bounds for geothermal potential. We then present several sensitivity runs using the upper bound resource data; the results are encouraging that levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) can be reduced by optimizing the location and estimated capacity of the spatially diverse geothermal resource while considering the distance to existing grid infrastructure."
