GEANs yearly report approved by the General Assembly the 10th of June 2025. The file can be downloaded here.
GeoEnergy 2025 - Set the date! 11.-12. November
Dear all friends of utilizing geothermal energy. We welcome all to this years conference in the lovely city of Bergen.
More information will be shared here in the coming weeks.
Links and upcoming news:
May, 2025
In this newsletter the European Geothermal Energy Association - EGEC invites to the Geothermal Heating and Cooling days and other news.
The 17.-18. September, Fornybar Norge, invites to the SmartGrid-conference in Lillestrøm. Please join to share the value of Ground Source heat - a thus so far overlooked solution. Link.
Please read the final report of the Zero Emission Neighborhood project at NTNU in Trondhiem where the contribution of heat pumps, and especially when heat is sourced to the ground via geothermal wells is calculated. Link to pdf.
Newsletter 1:2025 on the 15th May.

Yearly report of Ground Source Heat Pump systems in Norway
In this report I revise the Granada database from NGU showing a decline in the number of shallow geothermal wells from 2023 to 2024.
Formal letter to "Energi- og Miljøkomiteen" at Stortinget from the GEAN Steering commitee.
See pdf here, where we demand a review of what value ground source heat pump developments give to the electrical energy system owner by peak shaving - and alternative cost for a full electrification also of the heating market.
Newsletter 3:2024 the 13th September
Dear all, please read our newest news letter shared below.
Video and PDFs from 28. may (Trondheim)
On behalf of GEAN/NORCE, NTVA, NTNU and GCE Node we thank all presenters audience for active participance during our joint event at Lerkendal Gård the 28th May 2024. The purpose was to learn more about how heat may be integrated into buildings and how sector coupling can aid the development of a fully renewable based energy system.

Ground Source heat developments in 2023 - a national overview
Overview of the national ground source heat extraction in 2023 is shared here. In all, 4238 wells with a total length of 1032 km was drilled providing an estimated capacity of 56 MW, with a total yearly thermal energy addition of 186 GWh to be served the national energy system each year. Since the 1980s a total of nearly 700 MW of heat power available at demand equating to around 2.2 TWh heat has been developed. All other factors equal, this thermal power and yearly energy frees out the same amounts of electrical energy for other, more valuable, purposes. In addition, the peak demand at the coldest hour, that is the key design parameter of the electrical energy system, is reduced as ground source heat is available also the coldest hour the coldest year.

New program plan - 23rd May
The new program plan was agreed upon during the steering committee the 23th of May. The purpose is to create value for the partners - but how may that be done?
