Texas Reaches New Energy Milestone with First Permitted Geothermal Well

A Historic Moment for Geothermal Energy in Texas By:  Robert Buluma In a groundbreaking development for Texas’ renewable energy landscape  Rail Road Commision (RRC) has issued its first permit for a deep geo-pressured geothermal well. The permit, granted to Sage Geosystems  for a site in Atascosa County, marks a pivotal shift in the state's approach to energy diversification. This milestone represents a significant advancement in geothermal energy in Texas , further cementing the state's reputation as a leader in energy innovation. The well, located in the Anaconcho Formation south of San Antonio, is the first of its kind since regulatory authority over such projects transitioned from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to the RRC. The project, in partnership with San Miguel Electric Cooperative , will supply electricity while demonstrating the potential of geo-pressured geothermal energy as a viable renewable resource. What Is Geo-Pressured Geothermal En...
