Total geothermal (on- and off-grid) electricity installed capacity, measured in megawatts.
Geothermal energy – a clean and reliable source of heat and electricity – will play a critical role in the clean energy transition alongside other renewable energy sources. Geothermal resources are widely available in areas with volcanic activity, as well as in sedimentary basins.
Global geothermal energy produced in 2021, by country. In 2021, Indonesia was ranked second in terms of geothermal power generation with 2.3 gigawatts of geothermal energy produced.
The installed capacity of geothermal energy has gradually increased worldwide over the last decade, reaching some 14.9 gigawatts in 2023.
The select list of geothermal power countries continues to be headed by the US, followed by Indonesia, the Philippines and Türkiye, and generated 96,552 GWh of electricity, at an average annual capacity factor of 67.5%, which represented 0.34% of the worldwide electric generation.
As a source of renewable energy for both power and heating, geothermal has the potential to meet 3 to 5% of global demand by 2050. With economic incentives, it is estimated that by 2100 it will be possible to meet 10% of global demand with geothermal power. [6]
In 2023, Indonesia had the most additions to its geothermal capacity with 57 megawatts added. In total, global geothermal capacity additions amounted to some 123 gigawatts.
