Join our policy leaders in the discussion on IRA Tax implications and what the IRA Provides for Geothermal Technologies.
The IRA includes extensions for the investment tax credit (ITC) and for the production tax credit (PTC). Any projects that want to take advantage of these extensions must begin construction before January 1st, 2025, unless it's for geothermal exchange systems, which have been extended to January 1st, 2035. Geo exchange systems are low temperature, shallow exchange systems that serve building heat pumps and thermal energy networks. Because of the massive push toward distributed thermal energy, or Thermal Energy Networks (TENs), disadvantaged communities will have access to clean heating, cooling & domestic hot water (DHW) with a simple utility connection.

California GEO's Underground Learning Sessions: Drillers’ Roundtable

Location
Online
Date
Topics

CaliforniaGeo is pleased to offer a series of online regular meetings we call The Underground  for registered participants.  Some sessions carry AIA Learning Unit credit for an additional fee.  Contact us for details.  Our productions use our Zoom platform, lasting one hour, Noon-to-1pm Pacific Time.  The topic may be an issue, a technique, or a technology—or how certain policies and regulations may affect those.

On March 20th during the Noon Hour (PDT) our next UNDERGROUND will feature a panel of experienced geo drillers to share their knowledge and experience. This session is FREE to all who register!

California needs more qualified geo drillers, and one of our questions will deal with whether or how can a current (water well only) driller could boost the geo drilling effort? Identical underground regional conditions for drilling are extremely rare and drillers need to be ready to meet the moment to preserve production drilling efficiency.
