Fervo Energy and Google have finalized what is being described as the largest-ever geothermal power purchase agreement to supply data centers, according to Factor This. The deal marks a significant expansion of firm, always-on renewable power sourced from geothermal resources for Google's data center operations. Specific capacity figures and contract terms were reported as part of the announcement. This agreement sets a new benchmark for geothermal procurement in the data center sector and could accelerate adoption of the technology by other hyperscalers seeking carbon-free baseload power.
Geothermal power is one of the few renewable sources that provides firm, dispatchable electricity, making it especially valuable for data centers that require continuous power. A record-scale deal between two named parties signals that geothermal is moving from pilot projects to mainstream procurement at hyperscaler volumes.
