Fervo Energy and Google Ink Landmark Geothermal Deal for Utah Data Center

Fervo Energy, a pioneer in next-generation geothermal energy, has announced a landmark 396-megawatt power purchase agreement (PPA) with Google. This deal will enable the continued development of the Cape Station enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) GeoCluster, which is expected to come online in 2028.

The PPA allows Google to buy carbon-free energy, designed to serve as a foundational building block for a potential data center in Utah. Fervo will offer Google an option to expand its offtake by approximately 600 MW, totaling nearly 1 GW, by June 2030.

This agreement unlocks new, around-the-clock electricity capacity at no cost to existing ratepayers and demonstrates Fervo's repeatable commercial model that enables meeting customer needs with clean, firm power. The deal also highlights Google's trend of reaching agreements with power suppliers to provide sufficient power for its data centers.
