US-based Teverra has announced a new partnership with Spain’s Earth Energy Explorers to support the development of the Melilla geothermal project in the Spanish autonomous city of Melilla.

Tevera is a leading subsurface solutions provider specialising in geothermal and subsurface energy technologies.

It will work alongside its Spanish partner at the project site in Melilla, an area situated on the North African coast, surrounded by Morocco and bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Under the collaboration, Earth Energy Explorers serves as the project developer, while Teverra will provide technical support, including subsurface characterisation, resource assessment, risk-reduction planning and technical advisory services to support geothermal exploration and development.

“We are excited to partner with Earth Energy Explorers on the Melilla Geothermal Project,” said Randal Wichuk, CEO of Teverra.

“Geothermal presents a powerful opportunity to deliver secure and dispatchable baseload power while occupying minimal land and supporting grid stability. Our team is proud to support this important initiative through advanced subsurface analysis and de-risking approaches that improve predictability and success across the project lifecycle.”

The successful development of geothermal energy in Melilla could play a strategic role in the territory by strengthening energy security and independence, reducing reliance on imported fuels, and enabling a stable baseload renewable energy source.

A Taverra statement noted that the region’s geologic setting and subsurface heat conditions provide “promising potential” for geothermal exploration and a low-carbon energy resource that can serve both power, heating and cooling needs.

The project also reflects a growing momentum across Europe and the Mediterranean to accelerate geothermal as a scalable and reliable renewable energy resource.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Teverra as our consulting partner,” said Carlos Diaz, Partner and Technical Director of Earth Energy Explorers.

“Teverra brings deep technical expertise in subsurface geomechanics and geothermal development. Their support strengthens our ability to systematically evaluate the resource, reduce drilling and development risk, and accelerate the pathway toward a successful geothermal project in Melilla.”

The statement added that the partnership supports “a shared commitment to enabling the energy transition through cutting-edge subsurface technology, data-driven decision-making, and robust engineering workflows that reduce uncertainty and enhance project bankability.”
