Tim Latimer.

Tim Latimer is the Co-Founder and CEO of Fervo Energy, a Houston-based company pioneering next-generation geothermal energy by applying horizontal drilling and completion techniques from the oil and gas industry to dramatically reduce costs and expand the viability of geothermal power.

Fervo has attracted major partnerships, including a landmark geothermal project powering Google's data centers, and is developing Cape Station in Beaver County, Utah, expected to be the world's largest next-generation geothermal development, beginning to deliver 100 MW of clean firm power in 2026 with 500 MW planned by 2028. In December 2025, Fervo closed a $462 million Series E led by B Capital, on top of $206 million in financing earlier in the year. Latimer's petroleum engineering background gives him unique insight into adapting proven drilling techniques for clean baseload power.
