GLOBAL_GT:
The Global Movement for Geothermal Energy
Welcome to GLOBAL_GT, a dynamic 12-month campaign uniting geothermal communities around the world. From June 2025 to May 2026, we’re spotlighting geothermal innovation, impact, and leadership across 12 distinct regions — culminating in a landmark gathering at the World Geothermal Congress 2026 in Calgary.
Join us as we share stories from the ground up — projects, people, policy, and technology — that demonstrate how geothermal energy delivers clean, reliable power and sustainable solutions worldwide.

From Yukon to Yellowstone, from Alberta to Arizona — the geothermal story of Northern America is being rewritten.
From Yukon to Yellowstone, from Alberta to Arizona — the geothermal story of Northern America is being rewritten.
North America is home to about 4 GW of installed geothermal electricity capacity — with the United States leading the world, and Canada on the rise with its first commercial geothermal power plant in Saskatchewan almost online.
But it’s not just about electricity.
POLICY SPOTLIGHT JUNE 2025:
Canada’s Regulatory Moment: Making Geothermal Work Across Provinces
Why the Cascade Institute’s Groundwork Report could help unlock Canada’s geothermal future.
Canada has the heat. It has the tech. It even has the capital. But geothermal in Canada remains stuck in the starting blocks—not because of geology, but because of unstructured regulation.
That’s where the Cascade Institute’s recent Groundwork Report: Regulatory Guidelines for Making Canada a Geothermal Powerhouse comes in. Released today on June 18th – 2025, this landmark document offers a long-overdue roadmap to fix Canada’s fragmented policy landscape.
How to Get Involved
