**Eligibility:** Businesses, Local and Tribal Governments, Public-Private partnerships (may vary by grant subtype) **Amount:** $12 million total **Application Rounds:** All funding rounds are now closed. CEO provides grant funding to public and private sector entities to support the development and use of geothermal energy in Colorado.
Geothermal energy is a reliable clean energy source for electricity generation, water heating, and space heating and cooling in homes, businesses, and communities. The Geothermal Energy Grant Program (GEGP) is no longer accepting applications. The anticipated final funding round (Round 4) has closed, and all anticipated program funds have been otherwise fully awarded.
**Note:** Single-structure geothermal projects may take advantage of the Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit Program. Thermal Energy Network studies and construction may take advantage of the Geothermal Energy Tax Credit Offering. Please refer to those program pages for details.
For more information, please reach out to ceo_geothermal@state. co. us.
The following applicant types are eligible to apply for the GEGP Electricity Grant: * Political Subdivision of Colorado, including local governments or municipalities * Corporations (must be registered in the State of Colorado) * Gas or Electric Service Public Utilities Other applicant types may be eligible with CEO approval.
More specific details about applicant eligibility are available in the program application materials linked in the “how to apply” section. The fourth GEGP application round offers funding for Geothermal Electricity Projects. Round 4 of GEGP will prioritize funding projects that substantially advance geothermal electricity development in Colorado.
Specific details about project eligibility and grant award amounts are available in the Request for Applications (RFA) document. Project eligibility is subject to change between application rounds. #### **Pre-Feasibility Studies** Pre-Feasibility Studies explore geothermal resources for their suitability for electricity generation, storage, and coproduction.
Such preliminary assessments evaluate the technical and economic aspects of a geothermal resource to determine whether to continue in the exploration process. They may include: * **Initial resource assessment:** Gathering and reviewing existing geological, geophysical, and geochemical data to identify promising areas for exploration.
* **Field surveys:**Conducting surface studies or other geological assessments to better understand the resource characteristics. * **Economic analysis:**Estimating the potential costs and benefits associated with developing the geothermal resource. * **Environmental considerations:** Assessing potential environmental impacts and regulatory requirements that may affect project development.
" #### **Feasibility Studies** Feasibility Studies include a more detailed resource assessment of the technical and economic aspects of the geothermal resource to inform project development and should include: * **Resource assessment:**Detailed analysis of the geothermal resource, including temperature, pressure, flow rates, reservoir characteristics and a final conceptual model.
* **Engineering design:** Development of conceptual designs for the power plant and related infrastructure, including well field layout, water use management, power generation technology, and transmission systems. * **Economic analysis:** In-depth financial modeling to evaluate project costs, revenue potential, and return on investment.
* **Environmental impact assessment:** Detailed studies to identify potential environmental impacts and compliance with local regulations, including mitigation strategies. * **Regulatory and permitting considerations:** Assessment of the legal and regulatory framework governing geothermal development in the area.
Test Drilling confirms the suitability of a geothermal resource through drilling exploration, confirmation wells, and flow testing. **Please note:**Applicants are required to submit pre-feasibility/feasibility studies and a final conceptual model with all required components listed in the Application Checklist.
Applicants are also required to submit the project’s Drilling Plan that outlines well locations, drilling techniques, and operational procedures prior to drilling activities taking place. Applicants can propose to use funding to assist with navigating permitting processes, excluding any applicable permit fees. Field Development occurs after a geothermal resource has been confirmed through drilling and testing.
This phase prepares the site for geothermal energy production, including the coproduction of geothermal energy, installation of power generation equipment, construction of power infrastructure, and reservoir engineering. ## Archived Application Materials Use the links below to access previous Request for Application (RFA) materials.
