Fervo Energy Signs Largest Enhanced Geothermal PPA to Date With Google
Fervo Energy has signed the world's largest enhanced geothermal power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google, covering 396MW from its Cape Station project in Utah. The EGS-based GeoCluster is expected to begin operations by 2028 and will supply carbon-free electricity that could support a future data centre in the region. The PPA includes an option for Google to expand offtake capacity up to nearly 1GW by June 2030, subject to engineering feasibility and regulatory approvals. Fervo Energy emphasized its community-focused approach and scalable commercial model, while Google highlighted the project's potential economic benefits and long-term cost reductions in geothermal energy. This partnership builds on a prior collaboration between Fervo and Google through Project Red in Nevada, which has been operational since 2023.
