Scaling Geothermal Baseload in Europe: What Will It Take to Deliver Real Projects? | Hosted Roundtable

​Scaling Geothermal Baseload in Europe: What Will It Take to Deliver Real Projects?

​Geothermal has long been positioned as a reliable, domestic source of baseload energy, yet deployment across Europe remains limited. As energy security climbs the agenda, momentum is returning, driven by the need for stable, non-intermittent power and heat.

​The challenge is no longer about potential, but execution. High upfront risk, complex subsurface conditions, and fragmented development models continue to slow progress. At the same time, advances in drilling technologies, subsurface intelligence, and project financing are beginning to shift the risk-reward balance and open new pathways for deployment.

​This roundtable will explore what it will take to move geothermal from pilots to scalable infrastructure, examining the key bottlenecks across technology, risk-sharing, and capital, and identifying the conditions required to unlock real project pipelines.

​Hosted by GA Drilling and Sightline Climate this exclusive roundtable discussion is as part of the Growth Meets Industry (GMI) series at the 7th Energy Tech Summit - an invite-only side event bringing together corporate leaders, strategic investors, startups, and policymakers to spark high-impact partnerships across the energy value chain.
