Geothermal energy is becoming a buzzword in the travel industry as luxury hotels and resort companies seek to showcase their environmental and sustainability credentials to holidaymakers.

JW Marriott has just opened in Greece with the unveiling of the JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa, which boasts geothermal-based heating systems, among other sustainability measures.

“The resort has been thoughtfully constructed with sustainability at its core,” the company said in a statement, “from geothermal and solar energy systems to heat recovery from air conditioning for hot water, and the use of treated grey water for irrigation.”

Greywater refers to household wastewater that originates from sources like showers, bathtubs, sinks and washing machines, and and can be reused for non-potable purposes.

Nestled in Marathi, near the town of Chania on the island of Crete, the resort spans over 100 acres of idyllic coastline, and is designed to harmonise with  the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the landscape.

“This commitment to environmental responsibility has guided every aspect of the resort’s development, resulting in a destination that not only seamlessly blends with its surroundings, but is also deeply shaped by them,” JW Marriott stated.

Another of the group’s properties, Italy’s Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort in Tuscany, also incorporates geothermal features and treatments as part of its spa offerings.

Around the globe, luxury hotels utilising geothermal energy can similarly be found in destinations including Switzerland, notably its plush mountainous Zermatt resort, and, of course, Iceland.

“The opening of JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa marks a milestone moment for the brand with its entrance into Greece,” added Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott.

Indonesia’s PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) has reiterated its commitment to realising its installed capacity target of 1GW (gigawatt) within the next 2–3 years, and to 1.7GW by 2033.

The company outlined its latest plans to investors at its annual general meeting in Jakarta last week, unveiling net profit of US$160mn in 2024, against revenues of US$401mn.

“The positive financial and operational performance confirms the success of our sustainable business strategy in advancing geothermal development in Indonesia for the benefit of the wider community,” said Yurizki Rio, Director of Finance.

Currently, PGE holds 15 geothermal working areas with a total installed capacity of 1,878 MW.

Around 672.5MW is independently operated, with the balance, 1,205MW, managed under joint contracts with partners.

The installed geothermal capacity within PGE’s working areas contributes approximately 80% of Indonesia’s total installed geothermal capacity, making it an integral player in Indonesia’s energy transition plans.

PGE recorded increased production across several areas in 2024, including Kamojang (up 5.36% year-on-year), Lahendong (up 0.4%), and Lumut Balai (up 2.72%).

In total, electricity production reached 4,827.22 GWh, up 1.96% from the previous year, the company reported, citing a “stable and efficient” operational performance.

In a statement, PGE noted that it is “optimistic” it can increase its independently-operated installed capacity to 1GW within the next two years, and again to 1.7GW by 2033.

It also noted that the Lumut Balai Unit 2 project is expected to begin operations in mid-2025, which “will further strengthen PGE’s green energy portfolio.”

“This effort supports the transformation agenda of the national energy mix by increasing renewable energy generation capacity to 76% during the 2025–2034 period,” said president director, Julfi Hadi.

“We…remain committed to delivering our best performance in support of the national energy transition,” he added.

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing geothermal energy in the region at a high-level summit in Florida.

A panel at the 17th Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF), held in Miami, highlighted the growing viability of geothermal energy as a clean, reliable baseload power source for the Caribbean region.

CREF is the Caribbean’s largest annual gathering for clean energy stakeholders, including government leaders, utilities, investors and private firms.

Key projects highlighted included Grenada’s plans to commence exploration drilling in 2026.

“If successful, the 15-megawatt base load capacity [geothermal plant] will provide 40% of our energy supply needed for all households in Grenada,” said Kerryne James, Grenada’s Minister of Climate Resilience.

“It has been a long journey to get to where we are — two-and-a-half years sometimes feel like 10 — but we are staying the course.”

The need for innovative financing models and enhanced regional collaboration to accelerate deployment and shorten project timelines was also addressed.

James also highlighted the value of regional collaboration and capacity building through the OECS Geothermal Energy Capacity Building for Utilisation, Investment and Local Development (OECS GEOBUILD) programme.

“OECS, in the whole process with the GEOBUILD project, has been giving us the advantage and the environment for us to learn and grow from our regional partners. It has the potential of giving us not only energy security [but] the opportunity to redefine regional integration; redefine how we collaborate amongst ourselves in the region.”

Progress was also highlighted in Dominica’s ongoing development of a geothermal plant, expected to be completed by December, as well as forthcoming drilling in St Kitts and Nevis.

Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, stressed the significance of geothermal in enabling small island developing states to establish clean, dependable and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Other participants at the CREF event included clean energy equipment supplier, Exergy International and Dominica Geothermal Development Company.
