Geothermal's New Frontier: Powering the Cloud from Underground The geothermal industry has long been a quiet giant in the renewable energy sector, with Ormat Technologies standing as its largest operator for six decades.
Recently, however, Ormat is positioning itself to play a crucial role in powering hyperscale data centers through enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
EGS combines traditional geothermal methods with cutting edge oil drilling and fracking techniques, allowing Ormat to tap into deeper, higher temperature underground reservoirs more easily.
