Carlo Cariaga 8 Jul 2025

As with every year, ThinkGeoEnergy will be taking a two-week summer break and will be back with regular news reporting by the 22nd of July 2025. This will also mean pausing our newsletter after the 8th of July edition, with the next issue to go out on the 29th of July.

There will be no news article published during this two-week period. We will maintain some activity on the ThinkGeoEnergy LinkedIn page, mostly recapping some of the major stories that have happened in the geothermal sector in the year thus far. We will also use this time to work on our plans to revamp many of our pages, as well as some of our branding elements.

Geopolitical instability and armed conflict in many parts of the world has taken up much of the focus for the first half of the year. While we continue to focus on geothermal stories, such discussions are difficult to avoid. It is perhaps in situations like these that the value of a secure, locally sourced, and stable energy supply needs to be highlighted more. We continue to advocate for geothermal as an energy source that can bring about energy independence, inclusive economic growth, and reduction in carbon emissions.

The geothermal sector, of course, has had no shortage of positive stories this year. Several geothermal power plants have already come online in Indonesia, pioneering geothermal efforts are gaining ground in emerging countries like India, Austria, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, and new regulatory frameworks have strengthened support for geothermal in Mexico and the USA.

With more than 520 geothermal articles published this year so far on ThinkGeoEnergy, summarizing everything that has happened for the 1st half of 2025 is going to be a monumental effort. We’re doing it anyway. After our break, we will be publishing a report on the biggest stories, trends, and developments that have happened in the global geothermal sector so far. We hope this helps provide a more realistic and grounded view of the geothermal market to business developers, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

We have also often been asked about the beginnings of ThinkGeoEnergy. The site has been around for about 16 years now, with dozens and dozens of stories of what is happening behind the scenes. We are thus working on a series of articles on the history of ThinkGeoEnergy, how it came into its current form, and the steps we are taking to continue to be relevant and valuable for the geothermal industry.

Until then, we wish all our readers a pleasant summer, and we hope everyone has an opportunity to take a break as well. We will be back in two weeks with recharged batteries and brains full of new ideas.
