Turboden gets job on first phase of Fervo’s 400-MW US geothermal site

Italian organic rankine cycle (ORC) systems maker Turboden has been selected to provide engineering and power plant equipment for the initial 90-MW phase of Fervo Energy’s geothermal project under development in Beaver County, Utah.

Under the agreement, Turboden, which is a unit of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, will be responsible for the installation of three generators with six ORC turbines, ensuring optimal energy conversion from geothermal sources, according to a statement released today.

The Cape Station project is expected to have a total capacity of around 400 MW and become operational in 2026.

Last month, Fervo secured USD 244 million (EUR 229m) in a funding round to support the development of the initiative.
