Figures represent job-years created for years 2026 to 2035 in two modeled policy scenarios.

Note: State action refers to a 20% investment tax credit for clean firm power coupled with a production tax credit for geothermal turbines. Enhanced state action refers to a 20% investment tax credit for geothermal power plus a loan program for geothermal deployment; geothermal permitting reform; and a more robust turbine production tax credit. States modeled in this analysis include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
