General information
- Short Summary
- UK geothermal development company with expertise in delivering deep geothermal wells through hard rock. They operate the world’s deepest coaxial geothermal system and they are seeking partners to identify and develop suitable deployment sites, to institutional and industrial clients with heat demands over 2MW. Electricity projects (>2MW) are offered in some areas with favourable geology. Partnerships are offered on commercial agreement with technical assistance.
- Full Description
-
A UK company specialising in the development and delivery of deep geothermal energy systems. The organisation operates a demonstration-scale coaxial geothermal well drilled into granite, currently the deepest of its kind globally. It is the only operating system of its type in the UK.
The company is at the forefront of the deep geothermal industry in the UK, opening the first deep (4km) geothermal plant in the UK in 37 years. They have developed significant expertise in subsurface engineering, particularly in drilling through hard rock formations to access geothermal heat for institutional and industrial applications. Its team possesses extensive geological and engineering experience, enabling the delivery of high-risk drilling operations and reliable geothermal heat solutions.
The system is designed to provide multi-megawatt (MW) heat outputs, suitable for clients with heat demands exceeding 2MW, including hospitals, food processing facilities, and data centres. Electricity projects are also viable in some areas with favourable geology.
The company has previously partnered in an ERDF project, a Horizon 2020 project, and several other collaborations with the University of Exeter, the University of Oxford, TU Darmstadt, research organisations, and industry.
The company is currently developing a portfolio of additional geothermal projects and is open to collaboration with research organisations and technology developers. It is particularly interested in testing new tools and technologies during its next drilling phase, scheduled for the coming year. They are actively seeking pilot project partners for early stage talks with regards to potential deep pilot sites, it remains open to future collaboration opportunities aligned with its technical roadmap. The organisation seeks commercial partnerships under technical assistance with entities operating in energy-intensive sectors, including agri-food, defence, and institutional infrastructure. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Main advantages:
Deep drilling capability in hard rock (granite)
The company has developed the technical expertise to drill deep geothermal wells in granite formations, which are typically considered challenging due to their hardness and geological complexity. This capability enables access to high-temperature geothermal resources that are otherwise difficult to reach.
Demonstration-scale operating system
The company operates the only demonstration coaxial geothermal system of its kind in the UK, providing a real-world proof of concept for deep geothermal energy extraction. This system serves as a platform for testing, validation, and future deployment.
High heat output for large scale applications
The system is designed to deliver multi-megawatt (MW) heat outputs, making it suitable for institutional and industrial clients with significant heat and/or electricity demands (e.g. >2MW). This includes hospitals, food processing facilities, and data centres.
Scalability and replicability
The company is actively developing six additional geothermal projects, indicating that the technology and approach are scalable and replicable across different sites with similar geological conditions.
Energy sovereignty and decarbonisation potential
By tapping into local geothermal resources, the technology supports energy independence and contributes to climate action goals by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It provides a stable, low-carbon source of baseload heat and power.
Expertise and know how
The company’s team brings deep geological and engineering knowledge, particularly in subsurface engineering and geothermal system design. This know-how is critical for managing complex drilling operations and ensuring system reliability.
Collaborative testing opportunities
Open to collaboration to test new tools and techniques during upcoming drilling phases, offering a unique opportunity for innovation validation in a live operational environment. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The company is seeking strategic partners across the UK and Europe to drive the deployment and scale-up of its geothermal and distributed energy solutions. Our goal is to forge long-term collaborations that accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment through innovative, service-based energy models.
Seeking visibility among:
• Research organisations
• Data centres
• Institutional and industrial clients (e.g. hospitals, food factories) Partners should have heat requirements exceeding 2MW. The company is open to tool testing collaborations during future drilling phases.
Potential partners include organisations with significant energy needs, such as:
• Project developers
• Real estate owners and operators
• Energy utilities
• Engineering firms
• Technology providers
What partnerships could involve:
• Joint feasibility studies
• Co-development of large-scale building or district energy projects
• Long-term operational agreements
Collaborating with us provides access to proven geothermal and distributed energy solutions. Partners can:
• Expand their service offering by testing tools in a live drilling environment
• Accelerate the roll-out of sustainable energy
• Secure their own renewable long term energy supply, free of the gas markets
• Share in the value created through long-term operational models - Type and Size of Partner
