Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, and Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) have entered into definitive agreements to collaborate on the development of up to 500 MW of baseload geothermal power at CTR’s Hell’s Kitchen project in Imperial County, California.
The staged development will deliver baseload geothermal energy at scale, providing reliable power for hyperscale data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure. As a cornerstone of U.S. energy security, the project ensures dependable, clean power for industries driving the nation's economic future.
“America’s digital economy is at an inflection point,” said Rod Colwell, Chief Executive Officer of CTR. ‘Hyperscale data center and AI demands are surging, but they cannot run on intermittent renewables. The Hell’s Kitchen project will provide 500 MW of baseload energy to meet this demand.
Baker Hughes has built its reputation on delivering world-class services and is blazing a trail to advance geothermal development in the United States. Their proven technologies and disciplined execution are game changers for our growing industry, and combined with CTR’s development expertise at the Salton Sea, we are setting new benchmarks for reliable and resilient power infrastructure.” (Read More)
