Tajogaite Energía and INVOLCAN Join Forces to Explore La Palma’s Geothermal Potential Tajogaite Energía S.L. has taken a significant step toward assessing the geothermal potential of La Palma by formalising an agreement with the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (INVOLCAN). The agreement covers surface geothermal exploration and research across 19 mining grids awarded to the company by the Government of the Canary Islands, with a total value of €387,698.50. The initiative does not yet mean that a geothermal power plant will be built or that deep drilling will begin immediately. Instead, it represents an essential early phase: using advanced scientific methods to understand what lies beneath the island’s surface and identify the areas with the greatest potential for future geothermal development. A Strategic Agreement for Canary Islands Energy The collaboration between Tajogaite Energía S.L. and INVOLCAN forms part of the public tender process launched by the Canary Islands Govern...
115 MW of Fire Beneath California: The Deal That Could Redefine Geothermal Power Forever By: Robert Buluma Deep beneath California’s sun-scorched valleys and seismic fault lines lies a force more powerful than wind, more consistent than solar, and more enduring than fossil fuels—a relentless, untapped heat engine that has waited centuries for its moment. That moment may have just arrived. In a bold and forward-looking move, and (CC Power) have signed a landmark agreement to develop 115 megawatts (MW) of next-generation geothermal energy. At first glance, it might seem like just another clean energy deal in a state already known for its climate ambitions. But look closer—and you begin to see something much bigger unfolding. This is not just about adding megawatts to the grid. This is about rewriting the rules of geothermal energy itself. The Sleeping Giant Beneath California California is no stranger to energy innovation. It leads the United States in solar deployment, has aggr...
