Massachusetts Considering Allowing Utilities to Purchase Geothermal Energy on Micro Scale
By Criterion Research
December 2, 2019 -
Massachusetts has introduced a new legislative bill which would permit utilities to purchase geothermal energy for use in home heating as an alternative to natural gas. The energy would be built out on a neighborhood scale under what they refer to as the "GeoMicroDistrict system."
The energy would require vertical wellbores with a heat pump and an ambient water loop to heat buildings.
