Sage Geosystems patners with Ormat to reshape the future of Geothermal

The geothermal energy sector just witnessed a groundbreaking alliance that could reshape the future of clean power.

On August 28, 2025, Ormat Technologies, Inc., a global leader in geothermal development, announced a strategic commercial agreement with Sage Geosystems Inc., a pioneer in next-generation geothermal and energy storage technology.

This collaboration is more than just another partnership it’s a bold step into the future of geothermal innovation.

Unlocking the Power of Pressure Geothermal

At the heart of this agreement lies Sage’s Pressure Geothermal technology, an advanced system designed to extract heat from hot dry rock formations deep beneath the earth. Unlike conventional geothermal methods that rely heavily on water reservoirs, Pressure Geothermal leverages both heat and subsurface pressure unlocking new possibilities for deployment in regions once thought unsuitable for geothermal development.

Through this partnership, Sage will pilot its technology at one of Ormat’s existing power plants. If successful, Ormat will have the right to develop, build, own, and operate geothermal facilities and energy storage projects using Sage’s cutting-edge approach.

The promise? Faster commercialization, greater efficiency, and a wider reach for geothermal power.

Leaders Speak on the Breakthrough

Doron Blachar, CEO of Ormat , hailed the partnership as a milestone in advancing geothermal innovation:

“This agreement marks a significant milestone for Ormat, as it aligns with our commitment to advancing geothermal energy solutions and reducing our time to market.”

On the other side, Cindy Taff, CEO of Sage Geosystems , highlighted the transformative potential:

“Together, we can drive innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. This collaboration represents a major step forward in commercializing our Pressure Geothermal technology.”

Their shared vision signals a new era for geothermal one that bridges cutting-edge science with scalable, sustainable energy solutions.

Why This Matters

This agreement is more than a business deal it’s a blueprint for the future of energy.

Expands geothermal’s reach beyond traditional resource zones.
Accelerates deployment of renewable energy projects.
Introduces hybrid applications: geothermal for power, heating, and energy storage.
Strengthens global sustainability goals by diversifying clean energy portfolios.

Ormat, with six decades of expertise and projects spanning the U.S., Kenya, Guatemala, Indonesia, Honduras, and Guadeloupe, provides the perfect platform for Sage’s technology to scale globally.

A Glimpse into the Future

Imagine a world where geothermal is no longer limited by geography where hot dry rock formations across continents can be transformed into baseload power plants and energy storage hubs. This partnership between Ormat and Sage Geosystems brings that vision closer to reality.

The geothermal sector is evolving, and with this collaboration, it is not just catching up to other renewables it is redefining the clean energy race.

🌍 Geothermal is no longer the silent giant. It’s stepping into the spotlight and Ormat and Sage are leading the charge.
