Geothermal developer Fervo Energy has raised its initial public offering target to as much as $1.82 billion, signaling strong investor appetite for clean power sources capable of meeting the demands of energy-hungry AI data centers. In a Monday filing with the SEC, the company boosted its share count by 26% and increased the top end of its price range by roughly 8%.

The increased IPO target reflects the premium that buyers, particularly AI data center operators, are willing to pay for consistent clean power.
