Mazama Energy presents a strong upside opportunity driven by its proprietary superhot rock geothermal technology and successful pilot project.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+300%

Mazama Energy successfully scales its Newberry project to 200MW within the next 2-3 years, achieving its target of <5¢/kWh electricity. This breakthrough technology and cost competitiveness attract major power purchase agreements from data centers and utilities, leading to a Series C round at a $700M+ valuation as they become a clear leader in superhot rock geothermal.

Base (40%)+75%

Mazama Energy successfully completes its 15MW commercial pilot project and makes steady progress towards the 200MW goal, validating its technology and attracting further investment. However, scaling challenges and competition lead to a more moderate growth trajectory, resulting in a Series B round at a ~$310M valuation.

Bear (25%)-80%

Mazama Energy encounters significant technical hurdles in scaling its superhot rock EGS technology, leading to cost overruns and delays in commercial deployment. Regulatory challenges or unexpected geological complexities further impede progress, resulting in a down round to ~$35M as investors re-evaluate the long-term viability and the company struggles to secure follow-on funding.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold $36M in liquidation preferences. In an exit at or below the estimated current valuation of $177.4M, common stock value would be significantly impacted after investors recoup their initial investment.

Dilution Risk

high

As a Series A company in a capital-intensive industry, Mazama Energy will likely require multiple future funding rounds, which will lead to significant dilution for existing common shareholders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

Given its early stage and private status, there is currently no active secondary market or tender offers for Mazama Energy's equity.
