Fervo Energy

Fervo Energy is an energy resource company focused on harnessing heat through enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Co-founded in 2017 by Tim Latimer, a mechanical engineer by background, Latimer worked as a drilling engineer at BHP until 2015. His departure from the oil and gas sector was driven by a desire to apply techniques observed during the shale revolution to geothermal extraction.

On July 18, 2023, Fervo Energy announced that their first pilot geothermal plant was successful in generating 3.5 MW (megawatts) of baseload power and consistently maintained flow rates of 60 liters per second (l/s).
