From November 19 - 20, 2013 about 70 participants from developing countries, as well as investors, technical experts, and multilateral and bilateral development partners came together in The Hague, Netherlands to share knowledge, best practices, and information on scaling-up geothermal energy investments. The roundtable event took stock of potential and ongoing projects to prioritize next steps for implementing the Global Geothermal Development Plan (GGDP). Presentations on ongoing and planned geothermal exploration drilling activities were grouped by region. Sessions were also held on financing, and design and supervision, of drilling programs.
