How do you build and launch a geothermal energy network?
Go behind the scenes of large-scale thermal infrastructure. This lecture explores the practical realities of constructing, commissioning, and operating a Geothermal Energy Network (GEN) based on real-world project experience.
Drawing from the IAP 2025 course 'Geothermal Energy Networks: Transforming Our Thermal Energy System', this session examines the lifecycle of a GEN project. It features insights from Eric Bosworth of Eversource, who worked alongside HEET to oversee the Framingham project.
The presentation details the technical and operational complexities involved in bringing a geothermal network online, providing a case study on the transition from construction to active operation.
