Citizens utility board (CUB) will produce three distinct but related resources providing an overview of how networked geothermal systems operate, case studies of successful systems, and methods to avoid or reduce barriers to adoption.activities:activities to be performed include: 1) increase adoption of networked geothermal systems for college campuses, municipalities, and private developments; and, 2) help communities use networked geothermal systems to plan for and embark on the clean energy transition in a way that is affordable, equitable, and just. By educating decision makers through CUB's guides and presentations, the grantee will aim to help more municipalities, campuses, and developments take advantage of networked geothermal systems.subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:at the conclusion of this project, CUB will have produced three distinct but related resources providing an overview of how networked geothermal systems operate, case studies of successful systems, and methods to avoid or reduce barriers to adoption. Specifically, they will produce two targeted guides (aimed at colleges/universities and private developers, respectively), available electronically and in print, and one customizable slide deck. The desired outcome is a significant number of decision makers within colleges, municipalities, and private developers with increased awareness of the costs and benefits of networked geothermal systems and the best practices to implementation. The intended beneficiaries are the colleges, municipalities, and private developers who will be selected for this project.
