There are three basic technologies for generating electricity from geothermal energy. Dry steam power plants using dry steam systems were the first type of geothermal power generation plants to be built. They use the steam from the geothermal reservoir as it comes from wells and route it directly through turbine/generator units to produce electricity. Flash steam plants are the most common type of geothermal power generation plants in operation today. They use water at temperatures greater than 182°C that is pumped under high
pressure to the generation equipment at the surface. Upon reaching the generation equipment, the pressure is suddenly reduced, allowing some of the hot water to convert or "flash" into steam.

This steam is then used to power the turbine/generator units to produce electricity. Binary cycle geothermal power generation plants differ from dry steam and flash steam systems in that the water or steam from the geothermal reservoir never comes in contact with the turbine/generator units but is used to heat another "working fluid" which is vaporised and used to turn the turbine/generator units.
