Fervo Energy has secured a major deal with Google to supply 400 MW of enhanced geothermal power, with potential to expand to 1 GW — enough to power a large AI data center in Utah. The agreement marks another significant milestone for enhanced geothermal systems as a viable baseload renewable energy source.
Background
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) have seen growing commercial interest as a reliable, always-on renewable energy source, distinct from intermittent solar and wind. Google has been actively investing in clean energy for its expanding AI data center operations.
