Sage Geosystems is set to revolutionize renewable energy storage by utilizing a fracked well for geothermal electricity, moving closer to commercial viability. Amidst Texas’ renewable energy boom, Sage’s innovative approach creates “batteries” within subterranean wells, harnessing excess wind and solar power for later use. This method offers a longer storage duration compared to the state’s upcoming utility-scale batteries, addressing energy supply fluctuations.
The company’s progress is bolstered by recent legislative reforms, positioning Texas as a potential leader in geothermal energy. The initiative also serves as a response to the devastating Winter Storm Uri of 2021, emphasizing the need for reliable and sustainable energy solutions.
