Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Inter-well connectivity and multi-stage stimulation are proven at field scale with strong DOE backing (~$200M, extended through 2028), but FORGE is a research observatory; commercial EGS power has no published sustained-generation reference here.
Next
Monitor publication of long-duration circulation thermal-output and temperature-decline data and any follow-on commercial EGS demonstration well; FORGE de-risks methods rather than delivering a deployable plant.
