Is there support for geothermal initiatives?

Both the South Australian and Federal Governments have been very supportive of the geothermal industry in recognition of the substantial role it may play in Australia’s future power generation. The SA Government has provided legislative policy framework to promote and allow exploration, as well as providing pre-competitive data and financial drilling support. The Federal Government has launched the Australian Geothermal Industry Development Framework, in addition to financial support through R&D grants.
