Deal could scale towards 1 GW
Google will also have an option to expand its power purchase by another 600 MW by June 2030. That could take the total commitment to nearly 1 GW, significantly increasing Fervo's contracted demand and development visibility.

What it means for FERVO stock
The Google agreement strengthens Fervo's growth story and provides greater visibility for its geothermal projects. However, the stock had fallen substantially since its May debut before the latest rally, meaning investors may continue to focus on execution, project timelines and the company's ability to scale geothermal capacity.
