Renewable energy presents clear and widely-touted environmental and security advantages over non-renewable sources. But renewables are not interchangeable. Beyond their base similarities, wind, solar, and geothermal energy each presents a unique scenario of power output, cost, implementation requirements, land use, visual impact, and other factors.

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are on the forefront of international renewable energy development. But the technology, at its core, is not as young as some might imagine. The seeds of what we now call EGS were first planted in the 1970s, and they’ve grown significantly since then. With sufficient support, EGS is poised to markedly alter the United States’ relationship with renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

The Newberry Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) Demonstration is being conducted at a time when public awareness of energy issues has never been higher. The environmental consequences of both harvesting and burning nonrenewable fuels make relying on them a less than ideal long term solution for national and global energy needs.

The Newberry EGS Demonstration site is located on a federal geothermal lease just outside the Newberry National Volcanic Monument within the Deschutes National Forest. Land in this area has been recognized for its high geothermal potential since the 1970s, and since that time, local, state, and federal agencies have issued and monitored geothermal leases to several companies, including Davenport Power.
