Tuesday, 30 September 2025Developer of next-generation geothermal power projects, XGS Energy , has announced the successful operation of its water-independent geothermal system at commercial scale for over 3000 hours, proving it to be commercially economical. XGS is the first company to demonstrate a water-independent geothermal system at commercial conditions and scale. After installing XGS’s proprietary geothermal system, including performance-boosting Thermal Reach Enhancement (TRE) technology, flow testing demonstrated record performance for a water-independent geothermal system, proving commercial economics by sustaining a difference between injection and production temperatures greater than 158˚F (70˚C). The extensive operating history was used to verify XGS’s production models, with actual performance falling within 2 percent of predicted values. In June, XGS announced a partnership with Meta to deliver 150 MW of geothermal energy to the PNM utility grid to support Meta’s data centre operations in New Mexico.
