Thermal and Nucler Power Engineering Society (TENPES) has proposed the panel disccution on the commercial value of geothermal energy from the view point of management, at the 2003 annual meeting of Geothermal Research Society of Japan held in Sendai. Eighteen commercial geothermal power plans have been constructed in Japan by 1999. However, after 1999 no new geothermal power plant was constructed. For promoting the development of geothermal fields for energy use, we need to investigate and examine the factors that affect the delay of the development. The subject for disccution was focused on the commercial value of geothermal energy from the view point of view of manageiment, and then opinions and suggestions raised in the discussion were summarized.
