Fervo Energy Shares Rise Over 28% on Major Power Purchase Agreement with Google
On September 1, Fervo Energy (NASDAQ: FRVO) surged over 28%, closing at $19.75 after announcing a significant power purchase agreement for 396 megawatts of geothermal energy with Alphabet's Google. The deal includes an option to expand by up to 600 MW in the future, potentially reaching nearly one gigawatt by 2030. The contract is expected to provide Fervo Energy with long-term revenue visibility from a major customer and aligns with its Cape Station project in Utah, where it plans to begin delivering power to Google as early as 2028. This development comes at a time when demand for clean energy solutions tied to data centers is increasing. Despite the positive news, Fervo Energy's stock has declined by nearly half since its IPO in 2026 and remains volatile due to ongoing project developments and uncertainties around Google’s potential AI-driven expansion.
