IIRC there have been some experiments with using geothermal plants as peaker plants since you can pump more water down and cap the output so you can ramp output up quickly later. This could work well with the variability of renewables to help balance out the grid, a role traditionally held by coal / gas. https://www.volts.wtf/p/enhanced-geothermal-power-is-finally https://www.volts.wtf/p/enhanced-geothermal-power-is-finally
