Baker Hughes to Supply Five ORC Units for Fervo’s Cape Station Phase II

The award expands Baker Hughes’ role into surface power generation for Fervo’s EGS-based project.

Overview

  • Baker Hughes was awarded a contract to design and deliver equipment for five 60‑MWe Organic Rankine Cycle power plants at Fervo Energy’s Cape Station near Milford, Utah.
  • The scope includes engineering, manufacturing, and supply of turboexpanders and BRUSH Power Generation generators, with the order booked to the Industrial & Energy Technology segment.
  • The five Phase II units are expected to provide about 300 MW of capacity, roughly enough electricity for 180,000 homes.
  • The equipment is designed to operate with Fervo’s Enhanced Geothermal Systems to enable scalable, reliable baseload power.
  • Cape Station targets 100 MW online in 2026 from Phase I and plans to add 400 MW by 2028 in Phase II, under permits allowing up to 2 GW.
