A unique geothermal project in Millard and Beaver counties, Utah, is moving forward after overcoming funding hurdles. Rodatherm Energy, a Canada-based company, aims to produce 100 megawatts of energy without using water-based tools.
Millard County commissioners have given their approval for Rodatherm to resume construction of a generation facility, partially located on federally-managed land. The project is situated near FORGE, a laboratory sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, which is driving breakthroughs in geothermal technology.
The project is back on track after stalled funding.
This development is expected to contribute to Utah's growing reputation as a hub for geothermal innovation.
