The global geothermal energy market continued growing in 2012; however the newly installed capacity of 353 MWe represents average growth in respect to the last six years (547 MWe; 317 MWe, 338 MWe, 392 MWe and 225 MWe; 2011-2007 respectively). The U.S. contributed 147 MWe of newly installed capacity for the year, and another 207 MWe is a result of statistical revision done by the U.S. Geothermal Energy Association (GEA).
