“Google has agreed to buy 396 megawatts of power from Fervo Energy’s Cape Station geothermal project in Utah, the largest enhanced geothermal power purchase agreement to date. For scale, that is roughly enough electricity to power a city of 300,000,” reports The Doomslayer.
The Wall Street Journal notes that “Houston-based Fervo uses technology pioneered by oil-and-gas drillers to frack rocks, create geothermal reservoirs and crank out electricity. The company is spending more than $2 billion at Cape Station and expects to start delivering power to the grid later this year for the first phase of the project. Google intends to buy the power for a data center in Utah—though it has yet to determine the location. The company still needs to work with local communities and go through state and local regulatory approvals before it can move forward with the plans.”
