In California, XGS Energy inked an agreement with California Community Power (which serves >2.7M customers) for a 115-MW next-gen geothermal project. It’s the latest move in XGS’s Western expansion, and the company hopes to crack open more of the state’s hot rock resources.
In Pennsylvania, DOE announced a $14M pilot project to turn a horizontal shale gas well into an enhanced geothermal test site. The goal? To show that geothermal can work in the Eastern US thanks in part to oil & gas industry know-how.
