Geothermal Power Play: Well Engineering Partners Takes Over Operations as Sproule ERCE Sharpens Advisory Focus

The geothermal energy sector is heating up literally and figuratively and a recent strategic move is set to accelerate progress in sustainable energy production. By: Robert Buluma Effective January 1, 2026, Well Engineering Partners (WEP) acquired the operational and production-focused geothermal activities from Sproule ERC (formerly associated with Veegeo). This acquisition marks a smart realignment of strengths in the booming geothermal market, where clean, reliable baseload energy is increasingly vital for the global energy transition. Imagine harnessing the Earth's natural heat to power homes, industries, and cities without the intermittency of solar or wind. Geothermal energy does exactly that, providing constant output from deep underground reservoirs. But turning that potential into reality requires specialized expertise from initial resource assessment to long-term well maintenance. That's where this deal shines: it allows each company to double down on what they do b...

Inside the Geothermal Startup Mind: The Strategy, Funding & Sacrifices Behind Teverra’s Growth

The silence of a clean energy industry that desperately needs success stories… but is still learning how to measure them. In this one-on-one interview, we explore what it really takes to build a geothermal-driven clean energy company in today’s market, from strategic decisions and funding discipline to leadership, ethics, and the painful sacrifices behind growth. 1) Vision & Strategy: “Speed Is Everything” Q: Teverra has grown rapidly, but co...

Green Therma and GFZ Potsdam Launch Breakthrough Geothermal Demonstration

Turning Deep Earth Heat Into a Scalable Climate Solution: Green Therma and GFZ Potsdam Launch Breakthrough Geothermal Demonstration By: Robert Buluma Published on January 17, 2026 In the quest for reliable, carbon-neutral energy, geothermal heat stands out as one of the most promising yet underutilized resources. Unlike solar or wind, which depend on weather, geothermal energy draws from the Earth's constant internal heat — a source that's available 24/7, year-round. However, traditional geothermal systems often face high costs, geological risks, and significant heat loss when extracting energy from great depths. Enter Green Therma, a Danish innovator, and the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ (Germany's leading earth sciences research center). In early 2026, they're launching a groundbreaking demonstration at the renowned geothermal research site in Groß Schönebeck, north of Berlin. This project marks the world's first real-world installation of Green Therma's pate...

Rodatherm Energy: Pioneering Closed Loop Geothermal in Utah

Revolutionizing Geothermal Energy: Rodatherm's Game-Changing Approach in Utah Posted by Alphaxioms Geothermal News on January 17, 2026 Utah-based Rodatherm Energy Corporation has revolutionized the geothermal energy equation, and venture capitalists have taken note. With pilot projects planned for Millard County and Beaver County, the company has what founder and CEO Curtis Cook calls “a novel approach” to geothermal technology. In a world racing toward sustainable energy solutions, geothermal power has long been a reliable but underutilized player. Traditional geothermal systems rely on water to extract heat from the Earth's depths, often limiting their deployment to remote, sparsely populated areas due to environmental concerns and high costs. But Rodatherm is flipping the script with its innovative, waterless closed-loop system that promises efficiency, scalability, and minimal environmental impact. At the heart of Rodatherm's technology is what Cook describes as ...

Vallourec + XGS Energy : The Tubular Alliance That Could Turn Next-Gen Geothermal Into a 3-GW Reality Across the Western U.S. By: Robert Buluma Image:Vallourec-XGS Alliance Unlocks 3-GW Geothermal Buildout in Western US There are moments in the energy transition when a “press release” quietly reveals something far bigger than a partnership. It reveals a supply chain war being won before the market even realizes the battle has begun. On January 28, 2026, Vallourec one of the world’s most dominant names in premium tubular solutions—announced a strategic supply chain partnership with XGS Energy, the next-generation geothermal developer building what may become one of the most aggressive geothermal project pipelines in North America: a 3-gigawatt commercial pipeline across the western United States. And this isn’t a distant dream. This is happening now—because XGS is preparing to begin construction this year on its headline project: a 150 MW geothermal facility in New Mexico backed ...

The Billion-Dollar Gamble Beneath Our Feet: Why Geothermal Exploration Is the Industry’s Greatest Risk

Exploration Risk: The Billion-Dollar Gamble Beneath Our Feet By: Robert Buluma Image credit: Kane Watikson on LinkedIn Geothermal energy is often described as the sleeping giant of the clean energy transition constant, weather-independent, capable of delivering 24/7 baseload power without the intermittency that defines solar and wind. Yet despite this extraordinary promise, geothermal remains underdeveloped in most parts of the world. The reason is not lack of heat. It is not lack of demand. It is not even lack of technology and not even FINANCE , Whilst many will throw that policy card, but Alphaxioms is already future proofing that . The real barrier lies several kilometers beneath our feet in uncertainty. Exploration risk is the defining challenge of geothermal energy. Unlike wind turbines that can measure wind speeds before construction, or solar farms that can predict output from sunlight data, geothermal developers must make multimillion-d...
