Fervo Energy Still on Track to Bring Initial 33 MW Online at Utah Geothermal Project, RBC Says
Fervo Energy (FRVO) remains on track to bring its initial 33 megawatt online at the Cape Station Phase 1 geothermal project in Utah in Q4, with the full 100 MW to be deployed by Q1 2027, RBC Capital Markets said Monday in a report.RBC said the official power purchase agreement begins Oct. 1, though operations may start earlier, with the first power-generation module mechanically complete and now in commissioning.For Cape Station Phase 2, Fervo has drilled four of its next-generation wells and is advancing construction of power-generation facilities, and the company is meeting or exceeding its internal drilling-cost metrics for the second phase, the report said.A near-term catalyst is securing an incremental power purchase agreement for Cape Station Phase 3, which may deliver power directly to a customer without relying on the broader transmission grid, a behind-the-meter structure that could allow an accelerated timeline given current transmission capacity, the report said.RBC maintained its outperform rating on Fervo stock with a $46 price target.Price: $33.79, Change: $-2.57, Percent Change: -7.07%
