What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Credible team, Ormat-led Series B, and a real Meta offtake, but the load-bearing claims (scale, multi-hour RTE, fracture durability) still rest on one small pilot and future-dated deals.
Next
Watch for the 3 MW Christine (San Miguel) facility to reach sustained ERCOT interconnection and for Meta Phase 1 (2027) plus the Ormat-sited first commercial facility to confirm efficiency/cost claims at >50 MW before treating as adoptable LDES.
