The diagram gives a description of how electricity is produced within a plant with the use of geothermal energy. Overall, the procedure involves the transformation of cold water into electricity across five distinct stages. The first three occur within an underground geothermal zone, while the final two take place on the earth surface.

Underground, cold water flows from river sources into a deep injection well dug about 4.5 kilometres within the geothermal zone.  After the water enters the well, it creeps into some hot rocks, not too far away from the well. The water, now hot, then flows into a production well. After some time, this hot water is pumped out to the earth surface and straight into a condenser, bringing an end to the underground process.

The condenser then condenses the hot water into steam before releasing the steam into a turbine. Asides flowing from the turbine to the generator, this steam perform two functions. First, it powers the turbine which propels the electricity generator and it is used to generate electricity. Finally, the electricity generated is transmitted straight to power lines that help to distribute electricity to our homes and offices.
