A geothermal generator is a structure that can only be built on a geyser and converts the thermal energy into electrical power. The geothermal generator is available once it is researched (with cost of 1800 research points). It produces just over twice as much power as a solar panel, at just over three times the cost. It runs day or night, unlike a solar generator or wind turbine.

Completely enclosing a geothermal generator causes heat to build up and the generator may catch on fire. This is prevented by leaving a path outside or making at least one tile unroofed.
