Shaping the Future of Geothermal Power Generation in the Mountain West
Today’s power grid requires a mix of energy technologies to meet rising demand. Geothermal power, including enhanced geothermal systems, can unlock a secure domestic energy source that’s available 24/7.
For 25 years, Invenergy has been at the forefront of developing innovative energy solutions for our customers. Our approach to geothermal is no different. Because of our longstanding track record of innovation and execution, Invenergy has been selected to drive the geothermal future as a formal advisor to the Mountain West Geothermal Consortium.
The Consortium is a new multi‑state organization of public officials, developers, utilities, offtakers, and other interested stakeholders focused on accelerating the deployment of geothermal power generation across the region.
“Invenergy’s involvement in the consortium reflects our growing leadership in geothermal development and strengthens our relationships with state energy offices and regional partners. It’s an exciting opportunity to contribute our expertise and help advance a technology with significant long-term potential to be a secure, reliable and clean resource,” said James J. Murphy, Invenergy’s SVP for Development overseeing the company’s geothermal efforts.
The group brings together industry and State Energy Officials from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho to coordinate regional strategies that can expand geothermal development. Their work includes strengthening the knowledge base for early‑stage investment, designing high‑impact interventions to grow the project pipeline, improving technical understanding among utilities and regulators, and aligning regional programmatic requests to funding authorities.
The Consortium is currently in an information‑gathering and program‑design phase, with implementation expected later this year. Advisors will play a targeted role by:
- Providing insight into current market conditions, including technical and commercial barriers
- Pressure‑testing proposed state‑level interventions and financing concepts
- Participating in periodic advisory discussions—both group and one‑on‑one—that directly inform program decisions
Invenergy’s growing geothermal work adds to its industry-leading portfolio of energy infrastructure, including natural gas, solar, land-based wind, energy storage, transmission, and domestic manufacturing.
“Geothermal power generation is one of the most exciting new parts of our industry-leading technology portfolio. As an abundant, domestic resource that’s available 24/7, geothermal can help us meet growing energy demand from our customers,” Murphy concluded.
