Google's First Geothermal Power Plant Now Operational in Nevada

Developed in Partnership with Fervo Energy, the Facility Feeds Clean Electricity to Google's Data Centers

Google's first-of-its-kind geothermal power plant, developed in partnership with Fervo Energy, is now fully operational in Nevada, feeding clean electricity into a local grid connected to Google's data centers in Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno.
The facility uses enhanced geothermal system (EGS) technology, a novel method that relies on drilling techniques developed within the oil and gas industry, to generate clean electricity.
The geothermal plant is part of Google's broader sustainability goal to power its office campuses and data centers using carbon-free energy by 2030.
Fervo successfully completed an industry-standard 30-day trial run over the summer at its Project Red commercial pilot site in Nevada, where the geothermal plant produced 3.5 megawatts of sustained power.
Fervo is currently working on a larger 400 megawatt geothermal facility located in Utah, scheduled to go online in 2026.
