    Ormat Technologies Selected for $35M in U.S. DOE Geothermal Grants

    Question

    Ormat Technologies Selected for $35M in U.S. DOE Geothermal Grants

    Direct answer

    Ormat Technologies secured federal backing from the U.S. Department of Energy to advance two major geothermal facilities. The allocations include $25 million dedicated to Enhanced Geothermal Systems development at its Dixie Valley site in Nevada and $9.7 million for hydrothermal asset expansion at Cove Fort in Utah. The co-funding arrangement de-risks capital expenditure for next-generation baseload geothermal power as commercial power purchasers seek 24/7 non-intermittent clean energy.
