cost-shared well drilling for wells that

can supply geothermal fluid to one or

more of the direct use applications, and

greenhouses; aquaculture; and

industrial uses. Geothermal heat pumps,

also known as ground-source heat

pumps, are not included in this

solicitation. The ultimate goal is to

increase the utilization of the United

States’ geothermal resources for direct

use by reducing the risk inherent in well

drilling. It is expected that cost-sharing

wells will result in successful,

exemplary direct use application

projects that will, in turn, stimulate the

development of additional direct use

projects.

the solicitation is July 28, 1998. The

solicitation and application forms and

instructions may be accessed via the

Internet at http://www.id.doe.gov/doeid/

The website is the agency preferred

method for interested parties to obtain

the solicitation and application

information. Interested parties requiring

hardcopies should request them in

writing (preferably via e-mail) from the

Contract Specialist below. The website

will be the official notification medium
