GoKawiilFervo Energy begins selling power from Cape Station, first utility-scale enhanced geothermal plant
Fervo Energy has started commercial operations at its Cape Station project in Utah, turning on an initial 33-megawatt unit that will supply carbon-free electricity to Shell Energy in California. The $2 billion project uses drilling techniques adapted from oil and gas to create artificial geothermal reservoirs in hot, dry rock, and is designed to eventually reach 500 megawatts, with additional capacity backed by an agreement with Google.
