Happy Thursday!
We try to keep up with all the
energy related sales the U.S. Government has throughout the year. Well, the Department of Interior’s Bureau of
Land Management, recently had a sale we don’t normally see, and it was for
geothermal leases in Oregon. Let’s see
what happened during this sale.
Did anyone happen to read EnergyTech’s
Transition Newsletter on August 19, 2026, their article titled, “Oregan
Geothermal Federal Lease Bid Hits $1M to Drill in the Mount Hood National Forest”?
In the article, it speaks on how the U.S.
Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had a Geothermal Lease Sale last week for Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon and the
results were announced. The BLM approved
two of the twenty-one bids they received for the geothermal lease sale with the
accepted bids being worth over $1.1 million and covering 9,600 acres of the national
forest. The article goes on to speak of
the Department of Energy’s funding opportunities for over $170 million for advancing
geothermal energy (See our Blog in late February 2026, for details). We
wish the winning bidders luck advancing geothermal energy in the region! If you
