Project Overview

What is the Utah Forge Project? Utah Forge aims to research and develop EGS technology that could be used to generate power using geothermal energy. The project will involve drilling of two wells underground, create fractures to develop reservoirs, and circulate water through the wells and reservoir to heat the water using underground heat.
