With current technology we have significant potential for heat extraction but not necessarily electricity generation. However, with advancements in drilling technology making it less costly and allowing us to drill much deeper than we currently can, there could be big potential for both. Have a look at this:

Right here in Alberta we're already showing it can be done. It's just a matter of getting deeper to hotter rock, which will happen once drilling technology improves. The answer there might be millimeter drill technology.
