Cascade City Pursues Geothermal Energy to Reduce Heating Costs
Cascade is investigating geothermal energy to lower heating expenses for residents, supported by a $200,000 grant. The initiative aims to utilize existing wells and expand heating to over 50% of the city in 5 to 10 years.

The City of Cascade is exploring geothermal energy solutions to decrease heating costs, leveraging a $200,000 grant from the Department of Energy. The project aims to design a geothermal district heating and cooling system that could utilize seven existing wells, with plans to heat over 50% of the city within 5 to 10 years.
Efforts to implement geothermal heating began in the early 2000s, but financial constraints have hindered progress, particularly in drilling operations. The community has existing wells, and initial projects are focused on businesses before expanding to residential areas. Successful implementation could significantly impact energy sustainability in the region.
