FRVO: Our Investment Thesis

Initiating Coverage With A Buy Rating And A $48 Price Target

• Fervo Energy (FRVO) is the only next-generation geothermal company with commercial-scale

First-Mover Leader Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) technology in operation, having brought Project Red online in

In Next-Gen November 2023 as the most productive EGS project in history. The company has built a 23.2 GW

pipeline across three major clusters and holds 658 MW in binding PPAs.

Geothermal With • FRVO’s GeoBlock, a standardized 50 MW modular unit, combined with subsurface mastery from 25+

Commercial-Scale instrumented wells, in-house EPC capability, and NEPA permitting reduced from 10 years to 3 years,

Technology creates a durable first-mover moat in a 141 GW total addressable market spanning utilities,

hyperscalers, and behind-the-meter co-locators.

• Intermittent wind and solar cannot meet hyperscaler reliability requirements alone, in our view;

Demand Tailwind FRVO’s ~80% net capacity factor delivers continuous baseload power and commands a 2.2x pricing

premium over solar by capturing on-peak hours. From Data Centers

• Google has already committed as an anchor offtaker, validating geothermal as a credible firm clean

Needing 24/7 Firm power solution for AI workloads. We view geothermal as best-positioned for the 5–10+ year AI

Clean Power inference buildout, with hyperscalers representing additional potential prospects in a customer base

where FRVO is structurally advantaged versus SMRs, gas with CCS, and battery-backed solar.

Cost Curve • FRVO is replicating the shale revolution’s cost-curve dynamics in geothermal: construction times cut
