Fervo Energy's Enhanced Geothermal Plant in Utah Begins Commercial Operation Ahead of Schedule

Fervo Energy's Enhanced Geothermal Plant in Utah Begins Commercial Operation Ahead of Schedule

Fervo Energy has announced that its Cape Station enhanced geothermal power plant in Utah has begun commercial operation, a day earlier than contractually required. The first 33-megawatt power block at the Beaver County site synced to the grid on September 24 and was declared in commercial operation on September 30. This marks a significant milestone as it is considered the first new-build utility-scale enhanced geothermal plant to achieve commercial operation under a power contract. The plant operates by pumping water down wells, through cracks in 400-degree Fahrenheit rock, and then back up to generate electricity. This initial block's power is being sold to Shell Energy, which supplies electricity to California retail customers, under a 15-year agreement for 31 megawatts. The company built and commissioned this first block in 23 months, with expectations to reduce construction time for future blocks.
