HIGHLIGHTS

* CLFV is developing a cost model for a conceptual 50 MW Enhanced Geother-mal System for the deep granitic rock of the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts. Such a system would allow the Pioneer Valley region to harness energy from granitic rock miles below the Earth's surface and use it to heat buildings or generate electricity. CLFV has contributed anticipated local stakeholder and environmental perspectives on the project and estimated hypothetical costs for applicable permits, grid interconnection and project management expenses. The cost model project is an important step in determining the economic viability of carbon dioxide-based geothermal systems as a source of renewable energy.

* In New Hampshire, CLFV is leading a $2 million, two-and-a-half-year project to help all of the state's municipalities and counties improve their energy efficiency and clean energy...
