A U.S. consensus-based collaborative, the National Geothermal Collaborative (NGC), was formed in 2002 to establish dialogue among key stakeholders, and catalyze problem-solving activities to overcome obstacles to appropriate development. Our vision is that geothermal power is environmentally, economically and politically sustainable and is fully integrated into mainstream energy markets.

The NGC is led by a steering committee whose membership to date includes representation from both investor owned and public utilities, academia, state energy offices, White House Task Force on Energy Project Streamlining, Western Resource Advocates, Council of Energy Resource Tribes, Geothermal Resource Council and Geothermal Energy Association, Departments of Interior, Agriculture and Energy, and the National Conference of State Legislatures.

If you or your organizations are interested in exploring opportunities with the NGC please contact RESOLVE staff.

RESOLVE, a non-profit environmental dispute resolution organization, provides a full range of facilitation services to create opportunities for NGC members and other geothermal stakeholders to build long-term relationships, and to develop a number of land mark products resulting from significant negotiation and reflecting consensus of the Committee. The NGC is facilitated by RESOLVE, Inc., www.resolv.org.
