Geothermal Recognized in Kiwi Energy Efficiency Awards (Voxy.co.nz)

Geothermal has come of age as a versatile and user-friendly energy source judging by some of the finalists in this year's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority Awards (EECA).

The EECA Awards recognise excellence and innovation in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The 90 entries across nine categories collectively account for more than $60 million in annual energy savings, or value of energy generated.

This year, for the first time in the history of the awards, three finalists use geothermal energy as a part of their business enterprise.
