NY-GEO Industry Presentations 

NY-GEO has a strong track record of supporting the advancement of geothermal energy through various programs and presentations. We actively participate in technical conferences, rate cases, and community group meetings, sharing expertise, data and advocating for geothermal solutions.

Below are presentations or programs with information and data relevant to the industry.

This program and its associated data were instrumental in the inclusion of geothermal energy in the global assumptions that were suggested: by Charles River Assc. (CRA) for NYSEG/RGE.

Presented at the NYSERDA - Residential Market Advisory Group (RMAG) 1Q Meeting

Monitoring the Ground Source Heat Pump System at Zero Place – a Multifamily, Mixed-Use Building in New Paltz, NY

Autumn Gardens Apartment Complex, Lockport, NY

U.S. Department of Energy, Geothermal Technologies Office, GTO, released 19 case studies on geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems. These studies showcase installations across different U.S. climate zones, highlighting various system types, sizes, and benefits to help people better understand GHP technology. The results provide real-life examples of GHP systems in different parts of the country, making it easier for people to understand how such a system might work for them.

Impact of Geothermal on Grid Planning

Jens Ponikau, CGD, NY-GEO President and Co-Founder Buffalo Geothermal recently presented to NYSEG/RGE.

This program and data were instrumental in geothermal being included in the global assumptions suggested by Charels River Assc. (CRA) for NYSEG/RGE.
