Overview
- The 150-megawatt plant will be developed in two phases and is slated to feed the grid that supports Meta’s New Mexico data centers.
- XGS Energy’s closed-loop system recirculates water inside sealed wells to extract heat from hot, dry rock formations with minimal water loss.
- Last year, Meta struck a 150MW agreement with Sage Geosystems to explore similar geothermal development.
- Geothermal provides continuous, carbon-free electricity, helping Meta pursue its goal of net-zero emissions by the end of the decade.
- Google and other hyperscalers have also invested in geothermal to secure reliable clean energy for expanding AI infrastructures.
