Fervo Energy, a Houston-based geothermal startup, has signed a three-year supply agreement with Turboden America to secure 1.75 gigawatts of organic Rankine cycle turbine capacity. The deal will support the construction of new next-generation geothermal power plants, marking a significant step in scaling the firm's technology.
Geothermal energy is a carbon-free, baseload power source. Fervo's approach aims to unlock geothermal resources in more locations than traditional methods, potentially adding a significant source of clean electricity to the grid. The company's projects are designed to operate continuously, providing reliable power without the intermittency of solar or wind.
