Navy Geothermal Program Advances Energy Resilience for DoN and DoW in California
Navy geothermal experts are advancing energy resilience for the Department of the Navy and the Department of War in California through geothermal energy development in the Mojave Desert. The Geothermal Program Office (GPO) is exploring new technologies and collaborating with various military installations and the University of Hawaii to enhance energy sources and reduce supply chain reliance. The GPO also reported on temperature survey results at the recent Geothermal Rising Conference, highlighting ongoing projects and the operation of a geothermal site generating 105-110 MW of electricity.

Navy geothermal experts in California's Mojave Desert are enhancing energy resilience for the Department of the Navy (DoN) and the Department of War (DoW) through geothermal energy development. The Geothermal Program Office (GPO), part of NAVFAC EXWC, conducts geothermal exploration and provides technical support for geothermal energy initiatives.
In October, the GPO presented temperature survey results at the Geothermal Rising Conference in Reno, Nevada. The DoW is implementing new geothermal technologies across military installations to diversify energy sources and reduce reliance on supply chains.
The GPO is also involved in the Defense Innovation Unit's geothermal development projects at Naval Air Station Fallon, Naval Air Facility El Centro, and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. Additionally, the GPO is collaborating with the University of Hawaii on surveys in Hawaii and has completed the BRIDGE project, identifying four geothermal plays in Nevada. The Coso Operating Company operates a geothermal site for the Navy, generating around 105-110 MW of electricity.
