California Court Orders New Environmental Review for Imperial County Geothermal Lithium Project

California Appeals Court Orders New Environmental Review for Imperial County Geothermal–Lithium Project Image: California Salton Lake Sea Hell’s Kitchen geothermal and lithium extraction plan sent back for deeper water, air-quality and mitigation analysis under CEQA A California appeals court has ordered Imperial County to conduct a more rigorous environmental review of the proposed Hell’s Kitchen geothermal power plant and lithium extraction project near the Salton Sea. The Fourth District Court of Appeal found that the county’s original environmental impact report (EIR) did not adequately address long-term water availability, enforceable mitigation measures for water shortages, or potential air-quality impacts tied to the receding Salton Sea. The ruling partially reverses a lower court decision and remands the case to Imperial County Superior Court, requiring the county and project developer Controlled Thermal Resources to address the identified deficiencies before the project can m...

XGS, Baker Hughes, and Meta Ignite New Mexico’s 150MW Geothermal AI Power Revolution

XGS and Baker Hughes Push Geothermal Into the AI Era With Massive 150MW Meta-Linked Project in New Mexico The geothermal industry has officially entered a new phase — one where artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and next-generation geothermal technologies are beginning to converge into a single industrial ecosystem. In one of the most significant geothermal-energy announcements of 2026, XGS Energy has partnered with Baker Hughes to accelerate development of a massive 150MW geothermal power project in New Mexico tied to the growing energy demands of Meta data center operations. The project is not merely another renewable energy development. It represents a major industrial test of whether advanced geothermal systems can reliably power the exploding AI infrastructure economy that is rapidly transforming electricity demand across the United States and the world. According to reports, the geothermal facility will provide electricity into the grid operated by Public S...

Green Therma Generation 5 Geothermal Technology Revolutionises Enclosed Loop Heat Production

Green Therma’s Fifth Generation Geothermal Technology Targets Heat Markets Image : Kimm Gunn Maver , Chief Geologist at Green Therma The geothermal industry has historically depended on favourable geological conditions, naturally permeable reservoirs and the availability of underground fluids. Although conventional hydrothermal systems have enabled commercial geothermal electricity generation across several countries, their dependence on specific geological characteristics has limited the number of locations where projects can be developed successfully. A new generation of engineered geothermal technologies is seeking to address these limitations by changing how heat is extracted from the subsurface. Green Therma is advancing what it describes as Generation 5 geothermal technology , centred on Enclosed Loop Geothermal (ELG). Unlike conventional hydrothermal systems and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), the technology uses a fully enclosed engineered piping arrangement that prevent...

“From Volcanic Depths to the National Grid: Dominica’s First Geothermal Turbine Sparks a Caribbean Energy Revolution.”

The historic milestone in Dominica's renewable energy journey has arrived: By: Robert Buluma the first Ormat Energy Converter (OEC) turbine unit at the OEC-1 geothermal power plant has spun to life, synchronized with the national grid, and begun delivering clean, reliable power to the island nation. This isn't just a technical achievement—it's a beacon of hope for energy independence in the Caribbean, a region long dependent on imported fossil fuels and vulnerable to hurricanes and climate change. Something which we had anticipated earlier on Imagine standing in the control room, heart pounding, as the screens light up with rising numbers: Gross Power climbing to 3.82 MW and beyond. The CPB Switch Status flips to GEN,the "Start" button glows triumphantly, and for the first time, geothermal steam from deep beneath Dominica's volcanic landscape transforms into electricity flowing seamlessly into homes, businesses, and the future.

Újbuda Geothermal Energy Exploration Approval Boosts Sustainable Heating Potential

Újbuda Gets Approval to Explore Its Geothermal Energy Potential Budapest’s Újbuda district has received approval to examine whether geothermal energy can contribute to its future heating and energy needs. The decision places one of the capital’s most densely populated districts at the centre of Hungary’s broader effort to make better use of its underground thermal resources. The approval does not mean that a geothermal power plant or district-heating system will be built immediately. Instead, it allows the district and its partners to investigate the geological conditions, technical feasibility, environmental implications and financial requirements of using heat stored beneath the city. The project could eventually support cleaner heating, reduce dependence on imported natural gas and strengthen Budapest’s energy resilience. Its success, however, will depend on careful geological research, responsible water management, transparent public consultation and a realistic financing model. Wh...

Estonia Drills Three Towns for Open-Loop Geothermal Heating Development

Estonia Drills Into Its Own Backyard: Why Three Small Towns Could Shape the Future of Baltic Heating Estonia has started looking for heat under its own soil. In October 2026, the Geological Survey of Estonia began exploratory drilling at three locations in the south of the country to find out whether open-loop geothermal energy pilot plants can work there, according to CEENERGYNEWS, citing the Estonian Ministry of Climate. Work starts in Rõuge, then moves to Põlva municipality and Tõrva. The campaign is part of a research programme called AVATAR. On paper, this is a small story: a few boreholes, some pumping tests and a careful statement from a state agency. It is also one more step in a deliberate effort by a small Baltic country to treat geothermal energy as a real option for heating whole communities, and not only single houses. Estonia has long winters, energy security is a political issue there, and moving away from fossil fuels is now fixed policy. So the drilling matters more th...

Italy FER2 zero-emissions geothermal auction: 29.4MW projects approved

Italy’s FER2 Auction Approves Two Zero‑Emissions Geothermal Projects — What It Means for the Market Overview: FER2’s first geothermal auction and the winners Italy’s FER2 incentive mechanism — established by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) to stimulate renewable investment through long‑term Contracts for Difference (CfDs) — has completed its first geothermal tender, awarding favourable rankings to two zero‑emissions projects with a combined capacity of 29.4 MW. The auction aimed to allocate a dedicated 30 MW quota for geothermal plants that operate with no net emissions, and it selected: - Pola 1: a 24.4 MW project in Jolanda di Savoia, Ferrara. - ITW & LKW Geotermia Italia: a 5 MW plant in Castel Giorgio, Terni. Two other bids — a 12.69 MW project in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina by Magma Energy Italia and a 5 MW proposal in Monterotondo Marittimo from Enel Green Power Italia — were excluded from the final rankings. The FER2 framework sets explicit timeli...
