Geothermal energy is heat energy that is obtained inside the earth’s surface. Water and/or steam transfer geothermal energy to the Earth’s surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling or it can be used to produce clean electricity. However, electricity generation requires high or medium temperature sources, which are usually located near tectonically active areas. The main advantages are that it does not depend on weather conditions and has very high capacity factors; for these reasons, geothermal power plants are capable of supplying baseload electricity, as well as providing short-term and long-term flexibility assistance
