Patent ID: 8346679

Claim:
A method of billing for geothermal energy comprising the steps of: collecting temperature information with a temperature sensor from a modular geothermal measurement system; collecting flow information from a modular geothermal measurement system; calculating, by at least one processor, amount of energy generated by at least one modular geothermal system using the collected temperature information and flow information; calculating, by the at least one processor, cost of the generated energy; providing, by the at least one processor, energy control points comprising energy usage information, demand shifting information and control, system performance information, cost allocation information, billing information and system financing information; using the provided energy control points to generate billing information for a beneficiary of the geothermal energy by the at least one processor, said beneficiary comprising owners, investors, system tenants, and service providers; allocating, by the at least one processor, energy costs from the at least one modular geothermal system across billed parties, said billed parties comprising end users of the geothermal energy system; and generating, by the at least one processor, billing information for each billed party of the geothermal energy from the allocated geothermal energy costs.
