Turning Latin America’s Geothermal Potential Into Projects

GEOLAC is the region’s only conference dedicated exclusively to geothermal development. For over a decade, it has connected the capital, technology, and policy needed to get projects built.

Co-located with the inaugural Clean Firm Power LATAM Summit (Feb 11), GEOLAC focuses squarely on geothermal, while CFP-LATAM takes a broad view of clean firm power and digital demand. Together, they offer two days in Mexico City for comprehensive insight into the region’s energy future.
