Baker Hughes has been contracted by Fervo Energy to supply equipment for five organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plants at the Cape Station project in Utah, US.
These facilities, to be developed near Milford, are projected to produce approximately 300MW of electricity, enough to power about 180,000 homes.
The collaboration will see Baker Hughes providing equipment that is expected to integrate seamlessly with Fervo Energy’s 'Enhanced Geothermal Systems'. This setup is designed to boost the scalability of sustainable baseload energy production.
Under the contract, Baker Hughes will supply exclusive surface power generation systems as part of its geothermal solutions, which cover a range of technologies, from subsurface operations to power generation.
As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes is tasked with designing and delivering equipment for five ORC units, each with 60MW capacity. This includes engineering, manufacturing, and supplying turboexpanders and the BRUSH Power Generation generator.
Baker Hughes chair and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said: “Geothermal power is one of several renewable energy sources expanding globally and proving to be a vital contributor to advancing sustainable energy development.
“By working with a leader like Fervo Energy and leveraging our comprehensive portfolio of technology solutions, we are supporting the scaling of lower-carbon power solutions that are integral to meet growing global energy demand.”
The order is recorded under Baker Hughes' Industrial & Energy Technology segment. It builds on previous awards from Fervo Energy for subsurface drilling and production technologies provided by Baker Hughes’ Oilfield Services & Equipment division.
Fervo Energy CEO and co-founder Tim Latimer said: “Baker Hughes’ expertise and technology are ideal complements to the ongoing progress at Cape Station, which has been under construction and successfully meeting project milestones for almost two years.
“Fervo designed Cape Station to be a flagship development that's scalable, repeatable, and a proof point that geothermal is ready to become a major source of reliable, carbon-free power in the US.”
The Cape Station project consists of two phases. Phase I aims to deliver 100MW of clean energy, starting from next year. Phase II is expected to contribute an additional 400MW by 2028.
Overall, the Cape Station development has received permits to expand its capacity up to 2GW of renewable energy.
In June 2025, Fervo Energy announced securing $206m in additional capital to advance the Cape Station project.
With finance and essential permits secured, construction on Cape Station's Phase I remains on track for its planned operational date in 2026.
