Several case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of Gradient Geothermal’s approach. For example, in Nevada, Gradient Geothermal partnered with an existing oil and gas operation to convert extracted hot water into electricity. The project successfully generated 81 megawatt-hours, providing continuous power summer and winter, day and night.
Data from these projects show significant cost savings and increased energy output compared to traditional geothermal methods. A study by the Geothermal Energy Association found that utilizing existing infrastructure reduced project costs by up to 40%. Additionally, the modular field generation systems used by Gradient Geothermal achieved power generation at lower fluid temperatures than many industry peers, resulting in greater energy production.
