Fervo Energy secures $421 million in financing, enough to finish flagship project's first phase
Fervo Energy’s $421 million loan supports Cape Station’s first phase to deliver 100 MW by 2027 and aims for 500 MW, backed by major power purchasers and financial institutions.
- On Thursday, March 19, 2026, the company completed the successful close of $421 million in non-recourse debt financing for Cape Station in Utah, Fervo Energy said.
- Transitioning to project finance signals that EGS can attract infrastructure lenders as Fervo Energy shifts Cape Station to long-term capital and targets an IPO later this year.
- The financing package includes a $309 million construction-to-term loan, a $61 million tax credit bridge loan, and a $51 million letter of credit facility arranged by RBC Capital Markets with global banks and counsel from White & Case LLP and Norton Rose Fulbright.
- Cape Station will begin delivering power this year, reach about 100 MW by early 2027, and all output has been contracted with Southern California Edison, Shell Energy, and community choice aggregators.
- The technology could scale to provide up to 120 gigawatts of capacity, with the Energy Department projecting enhanced geothermal could power roughly 100 million homes amid rising data centres and AI demand.
