| Dec 2025 | Series E | B Capital (lead); Kris Singh; Breakthrough Energy Ventures; Liberty Mutual Investments; Devon Energy; CPP Investments; Echelon; JB Straubel; Carbon Equity; Sabanci Climate Technologies; DCVC; Congruent Ventures | $462M | $1.4B | Fervo Energy is a Houston-based leader in enhanced geothermal energy development, focusing on next-generation geothermal projects to deliver scalable, 24/7 carbon-free power. The company announced the closing of its oversubscribed $462 million Series E funding round on December 10, 2025, led by B Capital, with participation from new investors including Google, AllianceBernstein, Atacama Ventures, Carbon Equity, Climate First, Mitsui & Co., Kris Singh, and JB Straubel, alongside returning investors such as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Congruent Ventures, CPP Investments, DCVC, Devon Energy, Echelon, and Liberty Mutual Investments, among others. This brings Fervo's total capital raised since 2017 to approximately $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion across multiple rounds. The funding will primarily support the continued development of Cape Station, Fervo's flagship 500 MW geothermal project in Utah, expected to be the world's largest next-generation geothermal development. Cape Station Phase I is set to deliver 100 MW of firm clean power to the grid starting in 2026, with full capacity contracted including a major power purchase agreement from Shell. Earlier in 2025, Fervo secured $205.6 million in additional capital, including debt and preferred equity from Centaurus Capital, specifically for Cape Station construction. The company has an existing deal to supply electricity to Google's data centers and is positioned to meet surging U.S. grid demand driven by AI, electrification, and manufacturing onshoring. Fervo has demonstrated strong execution, winning Scaleup of the Year at the 2025 Houston Innovation Awards and emerging as a frontrunner in enhanced geothermal amid growing investor confidence. The financing underscores geothermal's potential to address critical power shortages, with Fervo balancing grid supply and direct AI consumer needs while advancing from technology breakthroughs to large-scale deployment. |
| Jun 2025 | Undisclosed stage | Breakthrough Energy Ventures (lead) | $100M | $1.4B | Fervo Energy is a Houston-based leader in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), developing next-generation geothermal power plants to provide scalable, 24/7 carbon-free energy amid rising demand from AI and electrification.

Earlier in June 2025, Fervo secured $206 million in project financing for Cape Station Phase I, comprising $100 million in preferred equity from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst (part of the Breakthrough Energy network), a $60 million upsized corporate term loan from Mercuria, and additional commitments, fully funding Phase I construction with permits secured and a 2026 commercial operation target. Centaurus Capital separately committed $75 million in preferred equity for Cape Station Phase I construction. Fervo's valuation is estimated at $1.4 billion, reflecting strong market confidence, Bill Gates' support via Breakthrough Energy, and commercial traction including Scaleup of the Year at the 2025 Houston Innovation Awards. The company positions EGS as a bankable solution for firm renewable power, with Cape Station proving rural investments' global impact on energy security and sustainability. |
| Dec 2024 | Series D | Capricorn Investment Group (lead); CalSTRS; Breakthrough Energy Ventures; Liberty Mutual Investments; Devon Energy; CPP Investments; Sabanci Climate Technologies; DCVC; Congruent Ventures; Galvanize Climate Solutions; Mercuria | $135M | - | Fervo Energy, a Houston-based leader in next-generation geothermal energy development, secured $255 million in funding on December 19, 2024, comprising a $135 million corporate equity round led by Capricorn Investment Group's Technology Impact Fund II and a $120 million letter of credit and term loan facility from Mercuria. The equity round included investors matching the query: Breakthrough Energy Ventures, CalSTRS, Congruent Ventures, CPP Investments, DCVC, Devon Energy, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Liberty Mutual Investments, Mercuria, and Sabanci Climate Ventures. This funding aims to accelerate deployment of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) projects across the U.S. to meet surging demand for clean, firm power. Fervo uses advanced techniques like horizontal drilling and distributed fiber optic sensing to convert hot rock reservoirs into scalable clean energy sources. The company plans to use the new liquidity for projects amid undeniable need for next-generation geothermal, as noted by Mercuria's Group Chief Investment Officer Brian Falik, praising Fervo's cost-effective, commercially viable EGS approach already deployed at scale. This December 2024 round follows prior financings, including a $244 million round closed February 29, 2024 led by Devon Energy, and a later $462 million oversubscribed Series E on December 10, 2025 led by B Capital to support the Cape Station development in Utah, expected to deliver 100 MW of clean power starting in 2026. Cape Station is positioned as the world's largest next-generation geothermal project, with capacity fully contracted including a PPA from Shell. |
| Feb 2024 | Series D | DCVC; Congruent Ventures; Capricorn Investment Group | $244M | $1B | Fervo Energy is a Houston-based next-generation enhanced geothermal energy developer founded in 2017, leveraging oil and gas drilling techniques like horizontal drilling for precision access to geothermal reservoirs, reducing surface footprint and risks while expanding resource potential. The company has approximately 150 employees and focuses on delivering carbon-free, around-the-clock baseload power.

The project underscores Fervo's first-mover advantage in geothermal, with partnerships like Devon enhancing subsurface and drilling expertise. The company is also evaluating expansion in states like California, Nevada, Utah, and internationally. Fervo is shifting toward project-level financing, including debt, to reduce reliance on corporate equity, with discussions underway for selling down equity in Cape Station. It faces challenges in accessing public capital and streamlined permitting, advocating for geothermal inclusion in supportive policies like those for oil/gas, wind, and solar. Strategic oil and gas investor interest highlights geothermal's adjacency to traditional energy sectors. |
