Utah FORGE’s field-scale research site near Milford, Utah is helping create pathways for enhanced geothermal systems by testing new technologies, sharing open data, and reducing technical risk for future geothermal development. The DOE article highlights major Utah FORGE milestones, including highly deviated wells, EGS reservoir creation, fiber optic monitoring, and research that is already informing commercial projects such as Fervo Energy’s Cape Station.
