Is that enough? lol. Mass fabricator can accept up to 500,000 EU/t so long as no single packet exceeds 512 EU. So to fully power one you will require 25,000 geo-thermal generators as their max output is 20 EU/t. Guess you're gonna be busy for a while making some then.
The mass fabricator is capable of receiving up to 512 Eu/t while each geothermal only makes 20 eu/t.
Well, depends how fast you want the mass fabricator to produce UU matter.
I've got a single geo therm powered by a magma crucible and a single normal generator powering the fabricator, no scrap for the bonus. All the power is supplied via a steam boiler and overflow wooden planks from a steves cart tree farm.
Yes, it will be slow to generate UU matter, but I'm not in a rush for it. I think I've got 6 UU matter now, so that's one iridum ore - wohoo!
Since I have sufficient biogas and steam producing MJ, I may upgrade it with a 2nd magma crucible and geotherm generator, or even be a devil, and add 2 more!

Up to you. Personally I lost interest after making 1 HV array as they are a complete pain in the arse to make (512 normal solar panels) and just that single one used up a sizeable amount of my resource stash. I use the HV array elsewhere now and just power the mass fab with LV but have a gate on it so that it's always turned off unless there is scrap in the chest next to it. Once some scrap lands in the chest from the quarry (via recycler) then the gate 'sees' it and pulses the wood pipe to pull the scrap out of the chest and also turns on the mass fab at the same time. Scrap acts as an amplifier for making the UUM and makes it faster than the fabricator does from normal EU. As you're using DW20 pack as well, my advice to you would be to forget trying to get silly amounts of EU to the fabricator and instead concentrate of getting large amounts of scrap into it (pump in it via its underside). You can either do this by filtering all the cobble/soil/gravel from your quarry into a recycler or you can set up a bunch of igneous extruders to make the cobble for you.
On the set up above I get about a stack of UUM every 30-40 mins. A little tip for you as well in case you hadn't realised - the forcicium you get from monazit ore is also a mass fabricator amplifier, so if you don't plan on doing anything with the MFFS mod just chuck it all in to the fabricator with the scrap.
I am using 28 geothermal generators pumping lava from the nether into a 9x9x8 railcraft tank it generates 560 e/u per tick and it so much safer and low maintenance compared to a nuclear reactor out putting the same. I can charge a fully depleted mfsu in about 5 min. plenty of power to run a mass fab without the use of scrap.
