Houston-based XGS Energy last week said it will collaborate with energy technology company Baker Hughes to develop XGS’s 150-megawatt geothermal project in New Mexico. The project will support the delivery of clean, round-the-clock power to the grid of Public Service Co. of New Mexico for Meta’s data center operations in the state.
The collaboration brings together Baker Hughes’ ground-to-grid geothermal portfolio with XGS’s water and geothermal system. The companies will partner on the exploration and engineering phases of the New Mexico project to derisk operations and establish a strong technical foundation for utility-scale deployment of XGS’s geothermal technology.
Ghazal Izadi, CEO of XGS, said March 25, “XGS will increase the state’s operating geothermal capacity by tenfold… We’re demonstrating that XGS has the execution muscle and industrial collaborations required to deliver at scale for our customers.” Martin Craighead, board director, called it the “collaboration you need to turn next-generation geothermal from a promise into gigawatts of clean, reliable power.”
