    It is highly dependent of the local geological conditions. Convection-based geothermal plants (those with hot spring flowing around) probably have less constraints on heat extraction limit. Conduction-based geothermal plants will face more problems.

    In some shallow geothermal use case the ground is used as seasonal heat storage so heat renewable rate is not an issue.
