Geothermal UK, a new coalition, has launched to champion geothermal energy as a key part of the UK’s clean energy transition.

Founding members include TownRock Energy, Causeway Geothermal and Eden Geothermal alonmgside developers, the supply chain, academic experts and public bodies all sharing the aim of unifying the sector's voice to unlock the enormous untapped potential of geothermal energy in the UK.

“We’re launching Geothermal UK to raise awareness of all geothermal technologies delivering decarbonised heat, cooling and power, and to speed up the roll-out of this critical clean energy solution,” said Anne Murrell, founder of the coalition. “Geothermal is local and ready to scale, and is indispensable for our net-zero future. European countries such as France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands are already experiencing the benefit of their geothermal resources at scale; it’s time for the UK to catch up.”

The coalition’s launch comes amid growing momentum for geothermal in the UK, with many regional initiatives underway and key supply chain trade bodies, such as OEUK, mobilising for geothermal delivery and the recent BGS report on the eight areas of the UK most valuable to help further the transition. Geothermal UK plans to serve as the central coordinating voice to support implementation and investment.
