*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Fervo Energy has become the first Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) company to reach public markets, priced at US$7.7 billion and closing its first day of trading at US$10 billion. The listing marks a turning point for next-generation geothermal as an asset class. Built on oil and gas expertise, Fervo has secured long-term power purchase agreements anchored by its partnership with Google. Its flagship Cape Station project is the world's first commercial-scale EGS development. But with first power still to come, execution risk remains real. This report examines what drove the listing, what the technology can deliver, and what it means for the energy transition.
