===United States===

According to the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) installed geothermal capacity in the United States grew by 5%, or 147.05 MW, in 2013. This increase came from seven geothermal projects that began production in 2012. GEA revised its 2011 estimate of installed capacity upward by 128 MW, bringing installed US geothermal capacity to 3,386 MW.<ref>{{Citation|url=http://geo-energy.org/pressReleases/2013/GEA2013UpdateRelease.aspx |title=GEA Update Release 2013 |publisher=Geo-energy.org |date=2013-02-26 |access-date=2013-10-09}}</ref>

The municipal government of [[Szeged]] is trying to cut down its gas consumption by 50 percent by utilizing geothermal energy for its district heating system. The Szeged geothermal power station has 27 wells, 16 heating plants, and 250 kilometres of distribution pipes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/reviews/szeged_geothermal_energy_euronews/|title=Szeged’s Unique Use of Geothermal Energy|website=HungarianConservative.com}}</ref>
