APR Energy Expands Power Generation Capacity to Over 1,1 GW as Data Center Power Demand Soars
Mobile turbine expansion addresses surging power demand from AI infrastructure and grid-constrained regions
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New APR Energy LLC (d/b/a APR Energy), a provider of rapidly deployable mobile power generation for data center operators and utilities, today announced an expansion of its mobile gas turbine fleet by acquiring eight turbines and increasing the company’s owned generation capacity from 850 megawatts to over 1.1 gigawatts. The expansion reflects growing demand from data center developers and utilities seeking near-term power as grid constraints and extended interconnection timelines delay access to permanent capacity. APR currently supplies power to customers that include one of the world’s largest AI data centers, underscoring the scale of demand the company is seeing from hyperscale customers.
Across many markets, new grid capacity is taking years to come online, creating a widening gap between power needs and availability. APR Energy is seeing strong inbound demand from data center customers that require large-scale, reliable power on timelines measured in months rather than years.
APR Energy’s mobile gas turbines can be deployed and operational within 30 to 90 days, allowing customers to advance project timelines and maintain reliability while longer-term infrastructure is developed.
Chuck Ferry, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of APR Energy, said:
The demand we are seeing is immediate and substantial,
“Data centers and utilities need dependable power now. Expanding our capacity allows us to meet that demand with speed, certainty, and proven execution.”
As data center development continues to accelerate and grid expansion remains constrained, APR Energy’s expanded fleet positions the company to support customers that require fast, reliable power at scale. By combining rapid deployment capabilities with operational experience across global markets, APR Energy continues to serve as a trusted partner for customers navigating today’s power availability challenges.
