The IGA and IADC have signed an MoU to align their efforts in advocating for geothermal growth in policy, regulation, technical knowledge, and event support.
The International Geothermal Association (IGA) and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) towards aligning the efforts of the two organizations across the geothermal value chain.
The MoU was signed during the first IADC Geothermal Drilling Conference & Exhibition, held in Vienna, Austria on March 2025.
The key commitments under the MoU include:
- Advocating for favorable, standardized permitting and licensing systems to unlock growth
- Sharing best practices and technical knowledge to build consistency across the industry
- Engaging regulators and legislators to align laws with the realities of geothermal development
- Promoting each other’s work and ensuring collaboration at annual events
“To fully unlock geothermal’s potential, we must remove the bottlenecks—and permitting is at the top of the list. With IGA and IADC working side by side, we’re building the trust, alignment, and momentum needed to turn endorsement into action,” said Marit Brommer, the CEO of the IGA.
