Fervo Energy Cape Station Geothermal Power Plant

planned

Fervo Energy is planning a geothermal power plant facility at Cape Station, Utah, leveraging oil and gas technology, particularly hydraulic fracturing, to access hot rocks deep underground. The project aims to generate clean, reliable, and affordable energy, with an expected output of about 300 megawatts in its second phase, enough to power approximately 180,000 homes. The first phase is expected to deliver 100 megawatts to the grid in 2026. Baker Hughes has been selected to design and supply equipment for five power plants at the site. The project has received $206 million in funding from investors including Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, part of Bill Gates-backed Breakthrough Energy network.
