Benefits of Geothermal Energy

Exceed 10% renewable target
The 10% renewable energy planning target, often called the Merton Rule, can typically be exceeded by heating and cooling your building with geothermal energy. Ease the planning process by using a proven, recognised and practical technology.

Average six times efficiency
A geothermal system uses the Earth's thermal properties in conjunction with electricity to provide unprecedented efficiency. For every unit of electricity the system uses, it provides an average of six units of heating / cooling energy, i.e. the system has an average coefficient of performance (COP) of around six. These numbers can translate into real savings on your customers' utility bills year-round.

Please see our case studies section for supporting data demonstrating system efficiencies achieved in the last 18 months.
