## Summary

Fervo Energy Company's final IPO prospectus, filed under Rule 424(b)(4) on 2026-05-14. Accession
number **0001628280-26-034849**; filer CIK **0001853868**; IRS employer identification number
**82-3168838**; Nasdaq ticker **FRVO**.

This filing resolves what the wiki previously had to infer from press releases. It is the primary
record for Cape Station's contracted capacity and schedule, for Fervo's offtake book, and for the
company's size — and it supersedes the 2023 groundbreaking release, which announced Cape Station at
400 MW.

## Useful Claims

- Cape Station is a **500-megawatt** greenfield GeoCluster located in **Milford, Utah** (Beaver
  County), with 500 MW under construction, commercial contracts in place, and physical work underway.
- Fervo expects **first power by late 2026** and approximately **100 megawatts** of operating capacity
  **by early 2027**. The 500 MW represents only the first two phases of the Cape Station GeoCluster.
- Across the full portfolio Fervo had signed **658 megawatts** of binding power purchase agreements
  with investment-grade utility and corporate buyers **including Southern California Edison and
  Shell**; as of March 31, 2026 those PPAs had remaining terms of approximately **15 years** and were
  unchanged from December 31, 2025.
- Fervo employed **199** full-time and part-time employees as of December 31, 2025.
- The IPO offered **70,000,000** shares of Class A common stock at an initial public offering price of
  **$27.00 per share**, with a 30-day underwriters' option for up to **10,500,000** additional shares.
- Estimated net proceeds were approximately **$1,767,385,600**, or approximately **$2,033,875,600** if
  the underwriters exercised their option in full.
- Fervo's Utah and Nevada wells are at Cape Station in Beaver County near Milford, Utah, and at
  Project Red near Winnemucca in Humboldt County, Nevada.
- A framework agreement with Google lets Fervo propose geothermal projects but does not obligate
  Google to accept any project, sign a PPA, or provide project financing.

## Reliability Notes

A final prospectus is primary-tier: it is filed under Securities Act liability, reviewed by the SEC,
diligenced by underwriters, and permanently archived. For Cape Station's capacity, schedule, and
contracted offtake it is the strongest available source and it outranks the company's own press
releases, including the 2023 groundbreaking announcement's 400 MW figure — see
[Official Source: Fervo Cape Station Groundbreaking](fervo-cape-station-groundbreaking.md).

Two caveats. Capacity "under construction" and dates for "first power" are management expectations
about an unfinished project, not delivered facts; the filing's own risk factors say so at length. And
the financial and commercial figures are as of December 31, 2025 or March 31, 2026 — for anything more
recent use [Source: Fervo Energy Form 10-Q, Q1 2026](fervo-energy-10q-q1-2026.md) or a later filing
