Geothermal, Data Center Electricity

Geothermal could power nearly all new data centers through 2030
Advanced geothermal power could supply nearly two-thirds of new data center demand by 2030, according to an analysis by the Rhodium Group. The additions would quadruple the amount of geothermal power capacity in the U.S. — from 4 gigawatts to about 16 gigawatts — while costing the same or less than what data center operators pay today.
Why Geothermal Energy Could Be a Behind-the-Meter Game Changer for Data Center Power Demand
Geothermal heat pumps also offer an additional benefit by providing efficient cooling for data centers, further reducing their overall electric load. This dual application of geothermal energy—for both power generation and cooling—could significantly enhance the sustainability and resilience of data center operations.
Researchers say behind-the-meter geothermal could power US AI data center demands
"Geothermal can meet 100 percent of anticipated data center demand growth in 13 of the 15 largest markets using the most promising cooling approach"
