GROWTH OF GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT The growth rate of geothermal development has in the past been significantly affected by the prices of the com- peting fuels, especially oil and natural gas, on the world mar- ket (Fridleifsson and Freeston, 1994). As long as the oil and gas prices stay at the present low levels, it is rather unlikely that we will see again the very high annual growth rates for geothermal electricity of 17%as was the case during the oil crises of 1978-1985. The growth rate is, however, quite high due to the fact that geothermal energy is one of the cleanest energy sources available on the market. During 1975 -1995, the world average growth rate in geothermal utilization for electricity generationwas 9%p.a., whichis one of the . . .
