| Abstract | Fourteen countries generate some of their electricity from geothermal energy. The fraction contributed by geothermal energy ranges from a negligible amount to as much as 30% depending on the circumstances in each case. Over 110 individual generating units are currently online with a total installed capacity of more than 2,500,000 kilowatts. The present annual growth rate worldwide is about 15% , a rate is expected to hold for the next 2-3 year. |
