Baker Hughes to Deliver Geothermal Power Generation Equipment for New Power Plants

Baker Hughes announced an award from Fervo Energy Company, the leader in next-generation geothermal energy, to design and deliver equipment for five Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants at Fervo’s Cape Station power generation project near Milford, Utah, United States. Once operational, the five Cape Phase II ORC plants will generate approximately 300 megawatts of clean, reliable, and affordable power to the grid, equivalent power to approximately 180,000 homes.

Baker Hughes’ equipment is designed to operate with Fervo’s cutting-edge Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), resulting in a fully integrated power plant that drives scalability in sustainable baseload power generation. The award is for Fervo-exclusive surface power generation equipment leveraging Baker Hughes’ geothermal solutions portfolio, which spans subsurface and production technology through to power generation solutions.

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.

The Cape Station project includes Cape Station Phase I, which is poised to deliver 100 megawatts (MW) of baseload clean power to the grid beginning in 2026, as well as Cape Station Phase II, which will generate an additional 400 MW and come online by 2028. The full Cape Station development has received permitting approval for up to 2 GW of reliable and renewable energy.
