Fervo Energy has completed the world's first enhanced geothermal power plant in just 23 months, marking a significant milestone for the geothermal energy sector. Future phases are expected to connect to the grid even more quickly, suggesting improving deployment efficiency.
Background
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) use advanced drilling techniques to extract heat from underground rock formations, potentially making geothermal energy viable in regions without natural hydrothermal resources.
