    Ormat Selected for $35M US DOE Geothermal Development Grants

    Question

    Ormat Selected for $35M US DOE Geothermal Development Grants

    Direct answer

    Ormat Technologies was awarded up to $35 million in grants from the US Department of Energy to accelerate Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and hydrothermal development. The funds split between Dixie Valley ($25M) and Cove Fort ($9.7M). The capital non-dilutively de-risks deep geothermal drilling and reservoir stimulation, supporting Ormat's capacity pipeline as industrial demand for 24/7 clean baseload power accelerates.
