In the event of a power crisis, Geotes will be able to power all 300,000 homes for 42 days in Bakersfield. Premier resource management is converting A depleted oil field into geothermal power production.

What was once an oil and gas reservoir is now being converted into geologic thermal energy storage. This project is to store thermal energy within the oil reservoir using concentrated solar powered by parabolic troughs.
