en.Wedoany.com Reported - US-based Fervo Energy has signed a three-year framework supply agreement with Turboden. Under the agreement, Turboden will provide Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power generation units to support the development of geothermal power projects with a total capacity exceeding 1.7 gigawatts (GW). 
As Turboden America LLC, the company will supply ORC units for up to 35 of Fervo Energy's GeoBlock modules, with a total installed capacity reaching 1,750 megawatts (MW). This agreement represents a further deepening of the collaboration between the two parties, building upon their previous cooperation. Previously, Turboden had been contracted to provide three ORC units for Fervo's Cape Station enhanced geothermal project in Utah, with each unit corresponding to a 50MW GeoBlock module.
Both parties stated that they will summarize operational experience from deployed projects and continuously optimize system performance. Currently, the first phase of the Cape Station project is in the final stages of commissioning. As the first project launched under Fervo's large-scale geothermal development strategy, it holds significant milestone importance and is expected to commence operations this year.
This multi-year cooperation arrangement reflects Fervo Energy's high level of trust in Turboden as a core equipment supplier. As geothermal project scales continue to expand, ORC technology has become one of its key technological pathways.
Paolo Bertuzzi, President of Turboden America and CEO of Turboden S.p.A., stated: "Over the past two years, we have established a productive strategic partnership with Fervo. This framework agreement reflects our shared willingness to continuously deepen cooperation. Geothermal energy will play a crucial role in alleviating grid pressure and providing clean, stable power. Fervo has demonstrated exceptional leadership in driving industry development."
He further noted: "Through this cooperation, we are prepared to expand our delivery capabilities in the US market, continuously adding clean power generation capacity where and when it is needed."
Tim Latimer, CEO and Co-founder of Fervo Energy, said: "Deepening our collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a critical step in advancing the scale-up of geothermal energy. By combining Turboden's mature ORC technology with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' global industrial capabilities, we are building a key supply chain system to support large-scale geothermal development. This collaboration will play a central role in the development of Cape Station and subsequent projects, providing the grid with stable, around-the-clock, zero-carbon energy."
Furthermore, Fervo Energy recently announced the completion of $421 million in non-recourse debt financing to support the remaining construction funding needs for the first phase of the Cape Station project. The project is expected to begin delivering its first electricity to the grid in 2026 and achieve a stable operational capacity of approximately 100MW by early 2027.
