Exergy launches US operations to support rapid geothermal growth across North America

EXERGY INTERNATIONAL has announced the launch of Exergy USA Inc. as part of the company’s long-term strategy of expanding its presence in the United States, supporting both the rapidly growing geothermal sector and the adoption of Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) technologies across North America.

Located at the Energy Corridor business district in Houston, Texas, the new subsidiary places Exergy close to one of the world’s largest concentrations of energy engineering, advanced manufacturing and oil and gas expertise. It also only represents the first phase of a broader US expansion strategy, as the company plants to establish local manufacturing facilities for key power plant components, including turbine systems. Potential manufacturing locations have already been identified through sites available within Exergy’s wider industrial group. The initiative is intended to create a resilient domestic supply chain, reduce equipment lead times, support local content requirements and provide closer technical support to U.S. customers.

The strategic move positions Exergy to help address one of the most critical challenges facing the U.S. energy sector: delivering scalable, cost-competitive and reliable clean power solutions to meet rising electricity demand driven by AI infrastructure, data centers and industrial electrification.

The award-winning Gemini turbine

The announcement coincides with Exergy receiving the 2026 Geothermal Rising Tech Award for its Radial Outflow Gemini Turbine, an innovation developed to meet the larger unit sizes and demanding operating profiles required by the emerging generation of utility-scale geothermal projects. The Geothermal Rising Tech Awards recognize technologies with the potential to reduce geothermal project costs and risks, improve efficiency and unlock new development opportunities.

The Gemini configuration extends the company’s proprietary Radial Outflow Turbine technology to meet the requirements of large-scale geothermal developments, including Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). Capable of generating up to 60 MW with a single turbine, Gemini represents one of the largest ORC turbine configurations developed for geothermal power generation. Its larger unit size allows developers to reduce the number of turbines required, lowering plant footprint, simplifying plant design and reducing overall turbine costs compared with traditional multi-turbine configurations.

Exergy will receive the award during the Honors and Awards Ceremony at the 50th Geothermal Rising Conference in Houston on September 22.

Bringing global experience to the US market

Exergy has approximately 600 MW of installed capacity worldwide, including around 550 MW in geothermal applications, bringing experience from projects across multiple geographies and resource conditions.

Through Exergy USA Inc., the company will pursue growth opportunities across the Americas with a dual focus on geothermal power generation and Waste Heat Recovery applications. In geothermal, Exergy will support next-generation utility-scale projects while in WHR, the company sees significant opportunities across industrial facilities and emerging data center infrastructure, where ORC technology can convert otherwise wasted thermal energy into valuable electricity.

“Our objective is to make ORC solutions an increasingly scalable, repeatable and competitive source of clean power in the United States,” said Luca Pozzoni, Deputy CEO of Exergy International. “As energy demand continues to grow, we see significant opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce energy costs and support decarbonization through both geothermal and waste heat recovery applications.”
