Summary

Cyrq Energy operates geothermal power plants in the western United States, including Thermo No. 1 (also called Thermo 1) near Minersville / Milford in Beaver County, Utah — a binary-cycle plant on the order of 14–15 MW nameplate that sells power toward the City of Anaheim, California, with PacifiCorp transmission. Cyrq's own locations page also lists Nevada and California plants (Soda Lake, Patua, Hudson Ranch).

For Utah geothermal job-seekers, Cyrq is the third conventional operator in the Beaver County corridor alongside Ormat Technologies (Cove Fort) and PacifiCorp's Blundell, next to next-gen work at Fervo and Utah FORGE.

Impact

Thermo No. 1 adds firm renewable megawatts from a known hydrothermal resource. Impact is real but incremental versus enhanced-geothermal upside narratives — the plant has been producing since about 2013. Cyrq's broader portfolio (including power that Cyrq says supplies University of Utah / Heber City via other plants) matters more as an employer and offtake pattern than as a Utah-only story.

Utah Context

Thermo sits in the Escalante Valley / Thermo Hot Springs area of southwestern Utah. Public technical papers co-authored by Cyrq and Ormat staff describe ongoing reservoir modeling for field management. Ormat historically supplied equipment / EPC context for the plant's development path (see Ormat page Open Questions / history). Confirm current Utah headcount and hiring before treating Cyrq as an active local employer.

What They Need Now

Public careers detail for Utah specifically is thin on a plain fetch of cyrqenergy.com. Durable role families for a binary geothermal operator include plant operators and O&M technicians, reservoir / production engineers, geochemists, instrumentation and controls staff, and field drilling/workover contractors. Verify openings on Cyrq's own site or LinkedIn before recommending a Utah application path.
