How does Eversource's geothermal network function, and what are the technological and infrastructural elements involved in its implementation?

Eversource's Framingham geothermal network, the first of its kind led by a gas utility, connects 37 homes and businesses to a shared underground energy source. This innovative approach offers substantial long-term cost savings (15-20% on energy bills) and reduces carbon emissions by up to 60%, according to Eversource estimates. The network taps into the Earth's consistent underground temperature (50-60 degrees) using boreholes and a system of pipes to heat and cool homes efficiently.
