HOUSTON, TX and LONDON, UK, Sep 4, 2025 – Baker Hughes will design and supply equipment for five Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants at Fervo Energy’s Cape Station project near Milford, UT. Once operational, the Cape Phase II plants are expected to generate 300 MW power, supplying electricity to about 180,000 homes.
Baker Hughes will supply equipment designed to work with Fervo’s Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), creating an integrated power plant for scalable, carbon-free baseload power. The award covers surface power generation equipment exclusive to Fervo and draws on Baker Hughes’ geothermal solutions portfolio, which includes subsurface, production, and power generation technologies.
“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,” said Tim Latimer, CEO and co-founder of Fervo Energy. “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 U.S.”
Baker Hughes’ engineering and equipment scope for the project includes design and delivery of equipment for five 60-MWe ORC units, including the engineering, manufacturing, and supply of turboexpanders and the BRUSH power generation generator. The order, to be booked under the industrial & energy technology segment of Baker Hughes, follows previous awards from Fervo Energy for subsurface drilling and production technologies from the company’s oilfield services & equipment business.
“Geothermal power is one of several renewable energy sources expanding globally and proving to be a vital contributor to advancing sustainable energy development,” said Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “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 Cape Station project will roll out in two phases. Phase I is set to deliver 100 MW to the grid starting in 2026. Phase II will add 400 MW by 2028. The full Cape Station development has permits for up to 2 GW of reliable and renewable energy.
