Teverra, LLC, a leading advocate for sustainable energy solutions, has been awarded a grant to spearhead the implementation of a Natural Geothermal Augmented Thermal Energy Network in Rico, Colorado. This groundbreaking initiative aims to revolutionize energy consumption in the region while preserving the unique heritage and values of this small mountain town.
The grant, provided to Teverra, will fund a pre-feasibility study to assess the viability of establishing a thermal energy network utilizing the town’s abundant natural geothermal resources. By harnessing the power of geothermal energy, Rico aims to enhance its energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and pave the way for a sustainable future.
The project’s primary objective is to establish Rico as a regional hub for geothermal energy education and workforce development. Through community engagement and strategic partnerships, Teverra seeks to educate stakeholders about the numerous benefits of geothermal energy while fostering a sense of pride and ownership within the community.

Rico’s natural geothermal system presents a unique opportunity to showcase the possibilities of sustainable energy solutions in rural mountain communities. By leveraging local resources and fostering innovation, this project aims to serve as a model for neighboring towns and regions with similar geothermal assets.
“I am incredibly grateful that our small rural mountain town has the opportunity to continue working towards innovative geothermal solutions that benefit the whole community through this important funding and the strong partnership with Teverra” shared Teal Stetson-Lee, Community Liaison with the Rico Geothermal Coalition.
