The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) set multiple records at its geothermal lease auction in New Mexico in June: 47 parcels were leased at an average of $107 per acre, with total revenue exceeding $16.5 million, marking the second-highest auction income in BLM history; the highest bid reached $701 per acre, setting a new federal record. Analysis firm Enverus Intelligence Research noted that the rise in bidding activity is closely linked to growing electricity demand and accessibility to transmission infrastructure, and expects upcoming auctions in Utah, Nevada, and Idaho to continue this trend.
