If all geothermal projects currently under development are completed, the United States could add 7 megawatts to the country’s current 3 megawatts of geothermal power.

There are currently 144 new geothermal projects under development in 14 states. If successful, those projects could add up to 7,100 megawatts (7 gigawatts) of power to the existing 3,100 megawatts of U.S. geothermal energy output. That would give the U.S. a total of roughly 10 gigawatts of power capacity from geothermal energy, according to data from the GEA’s report (PDF) released Wednesday.
