Meta has entered into an agreement OTHERS XGS Energy To develop geothermal projects “next generation of intensity” projects in New Mexican. Plan for these projects to connect directly to the electrical grid taken in Meta data centers fed the company’s increasing demand AI Development.
The two companies claim that the new deal can add 150-megawatts of vigorous carbon-free grid “using zero operating water water.” New Mexico is apparently suited for Geothothermal Energy Production because the state has “some of the country’s best resources,” according to the deal notice. XGS Energy’s method will allow “this warm, but usually dry, stone resources” to use to worry about accessing water.
Agreement is divided into two rounds, a first small small and second larger, which is both “expected operational at 2030.” ” Meta that once explored Geothermal Energy by a partnership with sage geosystemsand like previous deals – including Meta recently 20-year agreement To use a nuclear nuclear plant in Illinois – the company focuses on search of large energy sources for AI data centers.
“AI’s progress requires powerful energy to support the development of infrastructure,” Urvi Parekh, global head of force, shared with dealing with deals. “With the next generation geothermal technologies such as XGS ready to scale, geothermal will be a primary player in supporting technologies as well as AI as well as data center.”
