Explore the utility perspective on scaling geothermal energy networks (GENs) deployment from city to country level in this 14-minute lecture from MIT's Geothermal Energy Networks course. Learn from Nikki Bruno's insights on the practical challenges and strategies for expanding geothermal network infrastructure at scale, including detailed examination of the Framingham geothermal pilot project as a real-world case study. Discover how utilities approach the complex process of transitioning from small-scale demonstrations to large-scale implementation of geothermal energy systems, including technical, economic, and regulatory considerations that influence deployment decisions. Gain understanding of the operational challenges utilities face when integrating geothermal networks into existing energy infrastructure and the strategic planning required for successful scaling initiatives across different geographic and demographic contexts.
