USA, Nevada: Geothermal Event! GRC Annual Meeting Venue Earns Energy Star Certification

Peppermill Receives EPA Energy Star Certification (KTVN)

Reno's Peppermill Resort Spa and Casino has earned the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star certification for energy performance. A big part of that is due to the resort's onsite geothermal plant. It taps into the resources underneath the property.

"We take the geothermal out of the ground, we pump it to here we exchange the heat into a water source that we can circulate through the building," said John Kassai, Central Plant Manager for the Peppermill. "Then we take the geothermal, put it back in the ground across the property and we use the hot water and circulate it throughout the whole property."

They use it to heat the buildings, the pools, and the parking ramps in the winter. "As far as I know we're the largest single use geothermal provider in the nation," Kassai said. The Peppermill's energy score puts it in the top 10 percent of hotels in the country.

Geothermal Event! World’s Largest Annual Geothermal Energy Event Begins

Geothermal Energy Event Opens in Palm Springs

The Opening Session at the Palm Springs Convention Center
Nearly 1,000 attendees have gathered at the world’s largest annual geothermal energy event, the GRC Annual Meeting and Expo, September 15 to 18 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs, California, USA.

The city of Palm Springs welcomed an international audience at the Opening Session of the meeting on Monday, September 16. The session featured special guests and energy experts covering many aspects of geothermal and other renewable energy development.

In addition to keynote speeches by Supervisor Ryan Kelley (Chairman of the Board, Imperial County) and Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo (California State Assembly), there were two panel discussions: The first commented on the state of the geothermal industry and how California can serve as a key guide for how the rest of the USA and world can transition to the new energy economy with geothermal as a central component of the energy mix. The second panel discussion focused on transmission issues, addressing the various elements of electricity transmission from the developer, engineering, utility and system operator’s perspective.

The Opening Session attracted leading researchers, academics, students, state and federal agency officials, and executives from notable companies such as Berkshire Hathaway Energy, CYRQ Energy, Calpine, Coso Energy, ENEL Green Power, Ormat Technologies, Inc., and others that develop, build, maintain and operate geothermal plants around the U.S.  and the world.

This is the premier gathering to learn about the latest developments in geothermal energy. Last year, the GRC Annual Meeting & Expo hosted over 1,000 attendees from 34 different countries.

The GRC Annual Meeting offers technical, policy, and market conference sessions, educational seminars, tours of local geothermal and renewable energy projects, and numerous networking opportunities.

The Expo features a unique opportunity for leaders in the geothermal energy sector to showcase their projects, equipment, services and state of the art technology to the geothermal community.

Geothermal Event! GRC Annual Meeting to Host Timely Discussion on Opportunities and Challenges for the Geothermal Industry

Opportunities and Challenges for the Geothermal Industry - A Panel Discussion (News Release)

GRC Annual Meeting & Expo
Tuesday, September 17, 10:10-11:50am
Palm Springs Convention Center

Moderator: Kathy Araujo, Energy Policy Institute - Center for Advanced Energy Studies, Boise State University

Panelists:

  • Nick Goodman (Cyrq)
  • Bill Harvey (Power Engineers)
  • David Kolk (City of Colton)
  • Tim Latimer (Fervo)
  • Christal Loewen (CanGEA)
  • Alex Richter (ThinkGeoEnergy)

The US geothermal power industry has experienced major flux in recent years. In the five-year period between 2012 and 2017, total growth equaled 0.2% compared to 15.2% in the previous five years (according to data from the Energy Information Administration). Importantly, geothermal energy is also experiencing significant technological improvements through research programs led by the European Union (EU), the US Department of Energy (DoE) and California Energy Commission (CEC), amongst others, as well as new investment from the private sector. Amidst the shifts, geothermal energy continues to offer considerable value for the power grid in terms of the quality and characteristics of the energy as a flexible and renewable form of baseload in the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable, energy economy.

There are also large growth opportunities in Co-production with oil & gas, Deep Direct Use, and Shallow Heat-pump applications, as evidenced by countries in Europe and through the DoE’s recent GeoVision study. Given these dynamic times, how do we take good advantage of these opportunities, encourage growth in the geothermal industry and facilitate greater penetration of geothermal energy into the world’s energy markets? The goal of the panel is to facilitate objective debate across a panel of experts and, using interactive Q&A with the audience, get to the heart of this question to inform the direction of our industry and community.
