Turboden has been selected again as technology supplier in the second phase of the Cape Station geothermal project, developed by Fervo Energy in Utah, USA. This phase includes the delivery of 3 ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems of 60 MWe each, which together will add up to 180 megawatts of installed capacity.
ORC systems as a continuity axis between phases I and II
The award to Turboden consolidates a strategic relationship initiated in Phase I of the same project, in which it was also responsible for the supply of ORC systems for 120 MWe. That first phase is scheduled to go into commercial operation in 2026.
Phase II will be executed with a view to start-up in 2028, and includes the design, manufacture and integration of patented turbines, as well as advanced control systems to ensure operational efficiency.
A flagship project for geothermal energy in North America
Cape Station is poised to be one of the largest Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) geothermal generation facilities in the world. With 300 MW of gross output when both phases are operational, the plant represents a technical and strategic achievement for the energy transition in the United States.
Fervo Energy is committed to a modular architecture that allows rapid capacity scaling without compromising system reliability. In this context, Turboden’s Turboden’s ORC systems systems are integrated as key components for the thermal transformation into clean, manageable and continuous electricity. manageable and continuous.
Turboden America and its key role on the continent
To support the growing project portfolio in the region, Turboden has been operating since October 2024 through its U.S. subsidiary Turboden America LLC. This local structure allows us to be closer to our customers in terms of project management, after-sales and maintenance services, which are essential for projects of this size.
The company, part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries group, has expanded its global presence with a focus on energy efficiency and decarbonization, positioning itself as a benchmark in ORC solutions applied to geothermal, biomass and industrial waste heat.
Continuous energy and zero emissions as a shared goal
The agreement between Fervo and Turboden reflects a common vision: to provide renewable energy 24 hours a day through technologies that guarantee performance, scalability and a minimal environmental footprint. With this collaboration, both companies are moving towards a more resilient and sustainable energy model for North America.
