From Resource to Reality: Unlocking Geothermal Across California
California’s geothermal potential extends far beyond any single region — from the Salton Sea and Imperial Valley to Northern California’s established and emerging geothermal areas, including The Geysers, Clear Lake, and the North State. This informal discussion brings together state officials, local legal expertise, and community choice aggregation (CCA) leaders to examine what it takes to move geothermal projects from concept to operation across diverse geographies.
The panel will focus on practical considerations such as permitting and environmental review, local legal and land‑use issues, and evolving state policy. Panelists will also discuss the role CCAs play in providing market certainty and supporting geothermal development in coordination with host communities.
