THE ENERGY INTERVIEW
accelerate execution, improve operational performance and maximise the value of their geothermal resources.
ABB has partnered with several companies working to scale geothermal to meet rising energy demands. These partnerships demonstrate our commitment to making geothermal a mainstream solution for baseload power.
Q. WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF GEOTHERMAL?

ยป Geothermal provides baseline, consistent energy with a small environmental footprint.

Unlike solar or wind, geothermal can deliver clean energy 24 / 7 with virtually zero emissions, providing consistent baseload power to support modern grids. This allows it to work alongside other energy choices to power energy-intensive industries like AI data centres.
Next-generation geothermal technologies are also well suited to energy storage, pairing with solar and wind to smooth supply fluctuations and improve overall grid stability and resilience. Geothermal plants have low and predictable operating costs, which
