    Google contracts 396 MW of Utah geothermal power from Fervo Energy

    Question

    Google contracts 396 MW of Utah geothermal power from Fervo Energy

    Direct answer

    Google has finalized a clean energy procurement agreement with next-generation geothermal operator Fervo Energy. Under the terms, Fervo's Cape Station project in Utah will supply 396 MW of firm clean electricity starting in 2028, with expansion rights reaching 1 GW by mid-2030. The transaction underscores escalating power requirements across AI compute infrastructure. Hyperscalers are increasingly prioritizing round-the-clock baseload generation such as geothermal and nuclear to satisfy carbon neutrality targets without risking grid reliability.
