Timed to coincide with the announcement of the European Commission’s highly anticipated Geothermal Action Plan, the 2nd European Geothermal Summit will be the perfect opportunity to discuss the impact of European and national policies in terms of scaling-up investment and accelerating the deployment of geothermal solutions for heating and cooling, electricity generation and thermal energy storage.
The EU Geothermal Action Plan will provide a unique opportunity to reset Europe’s competitiveness, energy security and the widespread availability of affordable energy. The Action Plan is expected to outline clear regulatory pathways to mainstream geothermal technologies and to commercialise next-generation solutions, which are essential for growing the uptake of renewable heating and cooling and delivering a cost-effective Electrification Action Plan.
