Newberry Volcano Project to Harness Geothermal Power for Regional Electricity Supply
GEOTHERMAL
The Newberry Volcano Project is set to launch a geothermal power plant in 2026, harnessing energy from the high-temperature site to generate electricity for the region. This initiative aims to produce significantly more power than previous geothermal efforts, although concerns about potential volcanic activity and resource accessibility remain. Advocates believe that advancements in technology will mitigate these risks, potentially leading to a broader adoption of geothermal energy as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
