An Overview on Development & Prospects of Geothermal Power Plant in India

Abstract

With the increase in power demand, India is moving from conventional power generating sources to non-conventional sources. The steady progress of economy and dearth of energy has led the focus towards the geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is a convenient medium of power generation having excellent potential in some regions of India. As per Geological Survey of India, around 340 sites are identified to have geothermal potential. This article delivers a general framework on geothermal power and highlights the fundamentals of geothermal power plants and their Indian Scenario.
