$400M+ Equity Raised

Funding for Geothermal Expansion

Raised over $400 million in equity and $17 million in grants to scale EGS systems focused on firm clean baseload.

3.5 MW Power Achieved

Geothermal System Milestone

First commercial horizontal well pair geothermal system with 3.5 MW baseline power and 60 L/s flowrate achieved on July 18, 2023.

~70% Cost Reduction

Efficient Drilling Advancements

Reduced drilling time by ~70%, cutting costs from $9.4 million to $4.8 million per well at Cape Station.

33 MW & 320 MW PPAs

Clean Energy Contracts

Signed power purchase agreements totaling 33 MW with Clean Power Alliance and 320 MW with Southern California Edison, avoiding approximately 21,005 metric tons of CO₂ annually.

Provides 24/7 carbon-free energy via next-generation geothermal power
Cape Station project fully permitted for up to 2 GW, begins electricity generation in 2026
Combining geothermal with direct air capture for integrated carbon removal
Net-zero target: implicit – deploying carbon-free energy at scale by mid-2020s
