Fervo Energy's Cape Station becomes first enhanced geothermal plant to sell power to the grid
World's First enhanced geothermal power plant completed in just 23 months
Fervo Energy began selling electricity from its Cape Station plant in Utah on September 30, one day ahead of schedule. The first 100-megawatt phase took just 23 months from groundbreaking to commercial operation, and Fervo aims to cut that to 18 months for future blocks. The site could eventually generate up to 4 gigawatts. Google and Southern California Edison have committed to buying power.
No team has ever built a project like this anywhere in the world, and we did it ahead of schedule.
