Fervo +28% on the session with volume at 34.1 times baseline. The premarket 8-K names the counterparty outright: its wholly owned subsidiary Cape Generating Station 6 signed a power purchase agreement with Google Energy for enhanced geothermal output. The first wire story of the session was still calling it a 15% move.
MechanismThe first-party document was in hand the same day, and it landed before the bell: at 08:05 UTC Fervo filed an 8-K (Item 8.01, Other Events) with EDGAR saying its wholly owned subsidiary Cape Generating Station 6 had entered into a power purchase agreement with Google Energy for output from its enhanced geothermal project at Cape Station in Beaver County, Utah. What got repriced is not one contract but the buyer base for the technology: enhanced geothermal has until now sold to utilities or stalled at demonstration scale, and here the purchaser is the energy arm of a hyperscaler. Data centers need round-the-clock baseload, which is the one hard advantage geothermal holds over wind and solar. Nameplate capacity, the megawatts in each delivery tranche, the term of the agreement, the size of the expansion option — all of it sits in the filing, but the link on this card stops partway through that text, and we do not print a figure you cannot click through to. The day's own coverage does not agree with itself either: one story has Google locking in nearly 1 gigawatt of geothermal, another calls the same thing a 3 GW framework, a third puts “could reach a gigawatt by 2030” in its headline. What the filing text actually supports is the most conservative of those readings; the rest is framework and expectation, not contracted energy. The market did not read it in one pass either: the first wire story of the session still said the stock was up 15%; the close measured +28%, on volume 34.1 times baseline. The news broke premarket and the stock gapped at the open (13:30 UTC), so the lag is once again not measurable.
This attribution rests on a first-party source — the issuer's own filing or announcement — and the timestamps line up.
