The global installed capacity of geothermal power generation at in December 2005 was 8,933 MW, of which 8,035 MW was operational. Six countries accounted for 86% of the geothermal generation capacity in the world. The USA is first with 2,564 MW (1,935 MW operational), followed by Philippines (1,931 MW, 1,838 MW operational); four countries (Mexico, Italy, Indonesia, Japan) had capacity at the end of 2005 in the range of 535-953 MW each. Mexico and Indonesia have grown 26% and 35% respectively between 2000 and 2005. Although on a smaller base, Kenya achieved the highest growth, from 45 MW to 129 MW.
In the last five years geothermal power generation has grown at an annual rate of 2.3% globally, a slower pace than the 3.25 in the previous five years, while direct heat use showed a strong increase. With current technology, the global potential capacity for geothermal generation is estimated at 72,500 MW and at 138,100 MW with enhanced technology.
