What's New in Geothermal Heat Pumps

This workshop was held on May 12, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Connect '09 Conference & Expo, the annual national conference for electric cooperative marketing, communication, and member service professionals.

The workshop focused on how geothermal heat pump systems can meet the energy goals of electric cooperatives while building system load factor and revenue. The presentations included information about geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems and how they work, benefits to utilities and co-op members, and federal support available for geothermal programs.
