US DOE published NOFO for innovative geothermal projects.

Happy Thursday!       

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office Release on February 25, 2026, their announcement, “ENERGY DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES $171.5 MILLION TO EXPAND U.S. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a Notice of Opportunity for $171.5 million of federal funding available for qualified geothermal projects looking to advance electricity generation and exploratory drilling.  The DOE is taking Letter of Intent and application for projects looking for funding to validate their innovative ideas for geothermal to help with electricity production and exploratory drilling, and they have six areas to apply under with the deadlines approaching soon.  We will keep you posted on anything interesting we hear out of the DOE.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click the link: Energy Department Announces $171.5 Million To Expand U.S. Geothermal Energy |Department of Energy.
