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 grid)Company-level / grid-region purchase — no single named campus.
Fervo's original commercial-pilot EGS facility, operational since Nov 2023 at ~3.5 MW gross — the first enhanced-geothermal plant to deliver power commercially. Google backed it as an early partner and frames it as powering the local grid serving its Nevada data centers. A larger, separate Fervo Nevada project — Corsac Station (Churchill County) under Nevada's PUC-approved Clean Transition Tariff — is the site that formally routes ~115 MW to Google and is tracked separately, not folded here.
Enhanced geothermal (horizontal-well doublet) adjacent to the Blue Mountain geothermal field in Humboldt County, northern Nevada; power sold to NV Energy, which serves Google's Nevada data centers.
Project Red — the first commercial enhanced-geothermal (EGS) plant — reached ~3.5 MW gross output and began supplying NV Energy, following a Google-Fervo partnership announced in 2021 and drilling begun in 2022.
America's first 'enhanced' geothermal plant just got up and runningConfirmed: data verified against official filings, permits, or direct operator announcements.
