Geothermal energy is a constant source of energy compared to solar
and wind. It provides power generation, heating or cooling, from various
resources: aquifer systems, high temperature hydrothermal and hot
rock resources. Geothermal power plants are operating in 29 countries
with a total installed power generation capacity of 15.4 GW at the
year-end 2019. With ongoing development an additional 50 countries
could see the addition of geothermal power generation to their energy
mix. Globally, geothermal power generation capacity could reach 28.0
GW in the next 15–20 years
