A new report on the potential for geothermal power in the United Kingdom claims the country is sitting on vast reserves of the renewable, enough in fact to find 20 percent of its energy needs.
The technical report, published by engineering consultants Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM), said deep geothermal resources could provide 9.5 gigawatts (GW) of baseload renewable electricity – equivalent to nearly nine nuclear power stations. Moreover, the authors said the potential heat from geothermal could equal 100 GW.
