Google's two-state clean-power week: a firm West Virginia bundle and a conditional Utah geothermal PPA

On September 1 and September 2, 2026, Google’s clean-power procurement moved into two new states within 24 hours. Fervo Energy said Google signed a 396 MW power purchase agreement for its Cape Station geothermal project in Beaver County, Utah. A day earlier, MN8 Energy said Google will buy the energy, capacity, and clean energy attributes of the Mammoth Solar project in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Both deals carry data-center linkage language, but the two differ sharply in how firmly that linkage is stated.

• Google signs 396 MW PPA with Fervo for Utah’s Cape Station geothermal – Fervo says the offtake is a building block for a potential Utah data center, with a 600 MW expansion option to nearly 1 GW by June 2030.
• MN8, Eos and Google bring an 86 MW solar-plus-storage portfolio to West Virginia – Mammoth Solar pairs 86 MW solar with 70 MW/280 MWh lithium-ion and 10 MW/100 MWh Eos zinc storage on a reclaimed coal mine in Kanawha County.
• Tata Power commissions the second element of its Jalpura-Khurja corridor – A 400/220 kV GIS substation at Jalpura adds 1,000 MVA transformation capacity feeding NCR and Noida load.
• Michigan AG appeals MPSC approval of DTE’s 1,383 MW Saline data-center contracts – The dispute over Green Chile Ventures’ Oracle-backed load moved from a February motion to reopen into appellate court.
