Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
Supplies power to Google (via NV Energy Clean Transition Tariff)Company-level / grid-region purchase — no single named campus.
115 MW enhanced-geothermal project structured under Nevada's first-of-its-kind Clean Transition Tariff (approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, May 2025), which routes the plant's 24/7 carbon-free output to Google's Nevada data centers with NV Energy as intermediary. Developed by Fervo (permit entity Forty Mile Desert Resources LLC); construction expected 2026, commercial operation ~2027. Distinct from Fervo's operational 3.5 MW Project Red pilot in Humboldt County.
Enhanced geothermal (EGS) in Nevada's Forty Mile Desert (Churchill County per Nevada Division of Minerals permits). Output routed to Google's Nevada data centers via NV Energy under the PUC-approved Clean Transition Tariff.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada approved NV Energy's 'Clean Transition Tariff', enabling Fervo and NV Energy to supply 115 MW of geothermal power to Google's Nevada data centers. Construction expected to begin 2026; commercial operation targeted 2027.
NV Energy seeks new tariff to supply Google with 24/7 power from Fervo geothermal plantReported: data based on credible news outlets or industry sources.
