The Department of Energy is proposing to provide federal funding to GeoTek Energy, LLC (GeoTek) to complete feasibility studies and conceptual designs of the Gravity Head Energy System (GHES) components required to complete the manufacturing designs for the GHES Pilot Well size components. GeoTek's goal is a GHES Pilot Well capable of producing 200 to 400 kilowatt hours. GeoTek would operate and test the GeoTek GHES Pilot Well for the purposes of verifying the output, operating costs, control functions and reliability necessary to market the GeoTek GHES as a commercial technology.
