Sage Geosystems/Project Vector (Ormat Blue Mountain)

Sage Geosystems and Ormat announced that Blue Mountain geothermal plant in Winnemucca, Nevada will host Project Vector, a commercial-scale EGS facility using Sage's pressure circulation technology. Drilling of the first two wells is planned for Q4 2026, with first electricity generation in 2027 and full production by 2028.

• Project Vector is Sage's next commercial EGS facility after SMECI
• Two-well system at existing Ormat geothermal site reduces development time and risk
• First wells to be drilled Q4 2026
• SMECI demonstrated 120+ days of sustained subsurface performance, validating the approach
