   Paleo-Indians first used geothermal hot springs for warmth, cleansing, and minerals. [3] Pacific Gas and Electric opened the US' first commercial geothermal power plant at The Geysers in California in September 1960, initially producing eleven megawatts of net power. The Geysers system grew into the world's largest, with an output of 750 MW. [3]

   The financial viability of these systems depends on the adequate sizing of ground heat exchangers (GHEs), which generally contribute the most to the overall capital costs of GSHP systems. [ 52 ] Commercial systems maintenance costs in the US have historically been between $0.11 to $0.22 per m 2 per year in 1996 dollars, much less than the ...

   Enhanced geothermal systems tend to be on the high side of these ranges, with capital costs above $4 million per MW and levelized costs above $0.054 per kW·h in 2007. [ 51 ] Research suggests in-reservoir storage could increase the economic viability of enhanced geothermal systems in energy systems with a large share of variable renewable ...
