San Francisco, CA – Global Energy Monitor has launched a new tool for tracking the global transition to renewable energy, the Global Geothermal Power Tracker. The tracker includes 323 plants with a minimum capacity of 30 megawatts (MW) across 28 countries, making it the most comprehensive, open-source resource of its kind for documenting geothermal power generation globally.
The Global Geothermal Power Tracker documents 11 gigawatts (GW) of operating geothermal power capacity and 7 GW of geothermal power capacity that is announced, in development, or in construction.
The top five countries by operating geothermal power capacity are:
- United States (2,762 MW)
- Indonesia (2,074 MW)
- Philippines (1,590 MW)
- New Zealand (926 MW)
- Kenya (832 MW)
The top five countries by geothermal power capacity that is announced, in development, or in construction are:
- Indonesia (2,055 MW)
- Kenya (1,710 MW)
- Ethiopia (470 MW)
- New Zealand (433 MW)
- Turkey (413 MW)
