Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Baker Hughes will provide equipment for five 60-MW plants at Cape Station Phase II in Utah.
  • The facilities will generate 300 MW of baseload power, serving more than 180,000 U.S. homes.
  • The award builds on BKR's earlier work with Fervo and supports up to 2 GW of capacity.

Baker Hughes Company (BKR - Free Report) has been awarded a landmark contract by Fervo Energy to design and deliver advanced power generation equipment for Fervo’s Cape Station Phase II geothermal project in Utah. The agreement denotes a significant step forward for geothermal development in the United States and highlights the growing role of energy technology in expanding reliable, clean power.

Under the award, Baker Hughes will supply key equipment for five 60-megawatt Organic Rankine Cycle power plants, including turboexpanders and BRUSH Power Generation generators. When fully operational, the Cape Phase II plants will produce approximately 300 megawatts of renewable baseload power — enough to supply electricity for more than 180,000 U.S. homes.

Driving Scalable, Carbon-Free Power

The new facilities will leverage Enhanced Geothermal Systems (“EGS”), a cutting-edge technology pioneered by Fervo, which adapts advanced drilling and subsurface techniques to unlock clean, reliable geothermal energy at scale. Baker Hughes’ surface equipment will be integrated directly with Fervo’s EGS technology, creating a fully optimized system designed for long-term, continuous power generation.

Fervo Energy emphasized that Baker Hughes’ technology and expertise align closely with the progress being made at Cape Station. The company views the project as a flagship development intended to demonstrate the scalability and replicability of geothermal energy, positioning it as a major source of reliable, carbon-free power in the United States.

BKR’s New Contract Strengthens a Growing Partnership

This latest award builds on Baker Hughes’ previous collaboration with Fervo Energy, which included supplying subsurface drilling and production technologies through its Oilfield Services & Equipment division. The Phase II order, booked under Baker Hughes’ Industrial & Energy Technology segment, represents the next phase in developing the Cape Station complex, which has authorization for up to 2 gigawatts of renewable capacity.

Baker Hughes highlighted geothermal power as an essential contributor to a sustainable energy future. The company noted that its collaboration with Fervo Energy enables it to apply its broad technology portfolio across the energy value chain, helping scale lower???carbon solutions that support growing global power demand.

Cape Station: A New US Clean Energy Flagship

The broader Cape Station project is one of the most ambitious geothermal developments in North America. Phase I is scheduled to deliver 100 MW of clean baseload power to the grid in 2026, while Phase II will add another 400 MW by 2028. Once complete, the project will play a central role in demonstrating that geothermal power can be replicated, scaled and integrated as a major contributor to the U.S. energy mix.

With the announcement, Baker Hughes underscores its growing footprint in the renewable energy sector, expanding its role from traditional oilfield services into end-to-end clean energy technology solutions.
