Bedrock Energy's geothermal project could aid ERCOT's stressed grid

AUSTIN — The parking lot Joselyn Lai was standing on gave little hint of the innovation under the asphalt beneath her feet: a system of 11 pipes quietly air conditioning the 30,000-square-foot office building behind her. The CEO of Houston-based startup Bedrock Energy was celebrating the building’s second day using the company’s geothermal heat pumps as its cooling system.

ERCOT admits Texas grid faces risk of ‘cascading outages’ in wait for new CPS transmission line ERCOT didn’t have to go as far as calling for conservation notices during the midweek temperature spike, but such pleas were the norm last summer when heat waves regularly put the Texas grid in a chokehold. Tight capacity days are likely again this summer.

The new look of energy jobs: San Antonio program trains workers to meet growing needs in renewables. And, like Bedrock, most have oil and gas veterans in their ranks. “All these companies on the geothermal power production side are really leveraging oil and gas know-how,” Lai said, “I think that really gives Texas an edge to be moving fast in geothermal.
