According to the company, it will supply the data center developer with 24 of its 18V51/60G gas engines, which it claims will power the data center behind the meter.
“This contract is one of our most important off-grid data center projects in the United States and strengthens our position in a rapidly evolving digital infrastructure sector. In a market traditionally dominated by gas turbines, our medium-speed engines offer a valuable alternative that is ideal for data centers without direct grid access. They deliver stable power quality, ensure maximum reliability, and can respond quickly to load changes,” Johann Stocks, head of Power, Americas at Everllence, said.
Engine delivery is scheduled in two phases, which will commence deployment mid-2026 in line with the commissioning of the data center.
