World’s largest 2 GW geothermal project approved in US, to power 2 million homes | The project will cover approximately 631 acres, including 148 acres on public lands, and produce up to 2 gigawatts of clean energy. 

The US has approved the world’s largest geothermal plant in Utah, which can generate 2 GW of energy, enough to power over 2 million homes.

The Department announced that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved the Fervo Cape Geothermal Power Project in Beaver County, Utah. “We need all the tools in the toolbox to reach a clean energy future, and this proposed categorical exclusion will be helpful in accelerating the process of locating new geothermal resources.” This marks a sharp increase from the previous year’s sale of 96,600 acres for just over $1 million, demonstrating the growing interest in geothermal development on public lands.
