地熱也能撼動能源圈！

美國創新能源公司Fervo Energy於6月宣布，成功籌得2.06億美元資金，用於推進旗下Cape Station第一期工程建設，該案預計成為全球最大規模的強化型地熱系統（Enhanced Geothermal Systems, EGS）開發項目。此一資金里程碑不僅鞏固了Fervo在零碳地熱能源領域的領導地位，也彰顯其技術成熟與市場潛力。

In June, U.S.-based clean energy innovator Fervo Energy announced it had successfully raised $206 million to advance construction of Phase I of its Cape Station project, which is set to become the world’s largest Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) development. This funding milestone not only solidifies Fervo’s leadership in the zero-carbon geothermal sector, but also highlights the maturity of its technology and its growing market potential.

Cape Station位於猶他州比佛郡，預計於2026年提供100百萬瓦（MW）的基載電力，第二期計畫則將於2028年再增設400 MW，最終擴展潛能高達2千MW（2 GW），可望成為未來美國穩定供電結構的關鍵一環。

Located in Beaver County, Utah, Cape Station is expected to deliver 100 megawatts (MW) of baseload power by 2026. A second phase, scheduled for 2028, will add an additional 400 MW, with a total future capacity of up to 2,000 MW (2 GW) - positioning the project as a key contributor to the future stability of the U.S. power grid.

Fervo能源長David Ulrey表示：「這筆資金證明Fervo具備解除風險、推動數GW等級EGS開發的能力。

David Ulrey, Chief Energy Officer at Fervo, stated:

我們的技術實力與商業成熟度，讓Fervo成為能源資本市場中最值得信賴的合作夥伴。

“This funding validates Fervo’s ability to de-risk and deliver gigawatt-scale EGS developments. Our technical strength and commercial readiness make us one of the most trusted partners in the energy capital markets.”

The financing round includes three major components:

Mario Fernandez, Head of Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, remarked:

本輪融資包含三大來源：

“Fervo has everything we look for - strong development capabilities, robust and scalable technology. Cape Station proves that when innovation meets disciplined execution, transformational energy change is possible.”

Breakthrough Energy Catalyst業務主管Mario Fernandez表示：「Fervo具備我們尋找的一切條件——開發能力強、技術嚴謹且具擴展性。Cape Station證明，當創新技術遇上嚴格執行，突破性能源轉型就能成真。」

Jordan Blanchard, Co-Founder of X-Caliber, added:

X-Caliber聯合創辦人Jordan Blanchard則指出：「這項里程碑不僅對潔淨能源未來具有重要意義，更彰顯了農村投資可對全球永續與能源安全產生深遠影響。」

“This milestone is not only critical for the future of clean energy, but also demonstrates how rural investment can deliver global impact for sustainability and energy security.”

Cape Station目前正在如期施工中，預計於2026年正式投入商轉，所有電力產出已簽訂銷售合約。隨著資金與市場支持日益穩固，Fervo正迅速成為美國可再生能源基礎建設的中堅力量，亦為全球地熱產業擴展開創新範例。

Cape Station is currently under construction and on schedule to begin commercial operations in 2026, with all generated power under existing offtake agreements. With growing financial and market backing, Fervo is emerging as a central force in the build-out of America’s renewable energy infrastructure, while setting a new benchmark for the global expansion of geothermal energy.
