Baker Hughes Delivers Equipment to Fervo Energy’s Geothermal Power Project

Fervo Energy contracted Baker Hughes to design and deliver geothermal equipment for five Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants near Milford, UT. Specifically, the company will deliver five 60-MWe ORC units and engineer, manufacture, and supply turboexpanders and BRUSH generators. The power generation project, dubbed Cape Phase II, will generate approximately 300 MW of clean power for the grid, or the equivalent power needed for about 180,000 homes.

Booked under Baker Hughes’ Industrial & Energy Technology division, the delivered equipment will operate with Fervo’s enhanced geothermal systems to form a fully integrated, scalable power plant that offers sustainable baseload power. Previously, Fervo Energy selected Baker Hughes on several occasions for its subsurface and drilling production technologies.

“Geothermal power is one of several renewable energy sources expanding globally and proving to be a vital contributor to advancing sustainable energy development,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO. “By working with a leader like Fervo Energy and leveraging our comprehensive portfolio of technology solutions, we are supporting the scaling of lower-carbon power solutions that are integral to meet growing global energy demand.”

The Cape Station geothermal power project includes Cape Phase I, expected to deliver 100 MW of baseload, clean power to the grid in 2026. Upon completion, Cape Phase II will add 400 MW and comes online in 2028. In total, the entire Cape Station project obtained permitting approval for up to 2 GW of renewable energy.

“Baker Hughes’ expertise and technology are complements to the ongoing progress at Cape Station, which has been under construction and successfully meeting project milestones for almost two years,” said Tim Latimer, CEO and Co-Founder, Fervo Energy. “Fervo designed Cape Station to be a flagship development that's scalable, repeatable, and a proof point that geothermal is ready to become a major source of reliable, carbon-free power in the United States.”

Baker Hughes Explores Military Geothermal

In March 2025, the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) granted Baker Hughes “Awardable” status to explore and develop geothermal energy supply for national security applications. Baker Hughes may now develop utility-scale geothermal power plants at U.S. military bases internationally, generating reliable, low-cost electricity off the grid, preventing downtime during outages.

The CDAO solicitation process, otherwise known as the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace (TSM), accelerates the procurement and adoption of mission-critical technologies, such as:

• Artificial intelligence
• Machine learning
• Resilient energy technologies

Baker Hughes’ solution was submitted among additional applicants in the TSM, demonstrating degrees of innovation, scalability, and positive impact on DoD missions.

Tangguh LNG Equipment

Last month, Baker Hughes obtained a 90-month service award for bp’s Tangguh LNG plant in Papua Barat, Indonesia, which covers spare parts, repair services, and field-service engineering support for the facility’s turbomachinery: heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors for three LNG trains. Baker Hughes is cooperating with PT Imeco Inter Sarana, a local partner, to deliver local content per the agreement.

The long-term service agreement will ensure reliable operations for bp’s Tangguh LNG facility, which plays a key role in Indonesia’s energy strategy by supplying reliable energy for the Asia-Pacific region. By maintaining the performance and availability of critical turbomachinery, LNG operation may continue uninterrupted.
