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.
