Fervo reports record flow rates from Cape Station test wells
Fervo Energy reported a 30-day test at Cape Station reached a peak flow of 107 kg/s at high temperature, sufficient for over 10 MW per well, roughly three times the per-well output of Project Red. Fervo had drilled 15 wells at the site during the preceding year, demonstrating rapid scaling of enhanced geothermal systems.
- Peak flow: 107 kg/s at high temperature; over 10 MW per well output.
- Three times per-well output compared to Project Red (~3.3 MW per well).
- Delivery aligns with NREL 'Advanced Technology' case, ahead of 2035 target.
- 15 wells drilled in preceding year; demonstrates rapid Cape Station scaling.
