Overview

  • Meta and XGS Energy have signed an agreement to develop 150 megawatts of geothermal capacity tied into New Mexico’s power grid.
  • XGS’s closed-loop design circulates water entirely within sealed wells and injects proprietary mud to enhance heat transfer without any operating water loss.
  • The geothermal initiative will be rolled out in two phases and is scheduled to begin operations by 2030 to feed Meta’s Los Lunas AI data center.
  • This deal follows Meta’s previous 150MW partnership with Sage Geosystems and underscores its strategy to sustain AI growth with clean energy.
  • Other hyperscale operators such as Google are also investing in advanced geothermal solutions, marking a broader industry shift toward continuous low-emission power.
