Engineers linked two deep wells through 629°F rock beneath Oregon’s Newberry volcano; the experiment could unlock round-the-clock power without burning fuel
Mazama Energy connected two deep wells reaching 629 degrees Fahrenheit. This marks the world's hottest enhanced geothermal system ever built. The company plans three more wells in 2026 targeting hotter rock. This project aims to unlock superhot rock for cleaner energy production. Geothermal energy could become a significant player in the clean energy mix.
