XGS Energy and Baker Hughes Launch 150 MW Geothermal Project for Meta in New Mexico

XGS Energy and Baker Hughes have partnered to develop a 150 MW geothermal power plant in New Mexico to supply energy to Meta's data centers. This project is designed to operate independently of water resources and will significantly increase the state's geothermal capacity. Construction will occur in two phases, aiming for completion by the end of the decade, contributing to Meta's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2030.

Construction will occur in two phases, with completion targeted by the end of the decade. The project utilizes XGS's solid-state geothermal technology, which operates independently of water and specific geological conditions. This collaboration follows a successful commercial demonstration by XGS in California and aligns with Meta's objective to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.
