The latest technology being used in geothermal energy is Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS involves creating man-made geothermal reservoirs in areas where natural ones do not exist by injecting water into hot, dry rock to create steam, which can be used to generate electricity. What are the benefits of each of these technologies?

When the electric grid is under strain, many electric utilities use the load shedding technique to lower demand and balance it with energy production. The idea is to turn off the power supply to certain areas on a cyclical basis, for example, two hours ON, then two hours OFF. The actual power gap now exceeds 8GW.
