Conduit Power Executes the Purchase of 250 MW of Power Generating Equipment for 2027 Data Center Deployments in Texas and Wyoming
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Conduit Power, LLC (“Conduit”), an independent power producer and leading provider of distributed power solutions that provide critical rapid startup and baseload power for data center operations, has executed purchase orders for 75 Ecomax® 33 Power Generation Units powered by Jenbacher 620 engines with AB Energy USA, affiliate of Gruppo AB, one of the world’s largest suppliers of modular power generation systems.
The new purchase orders represent a total of 250 megawatt (MW) of nameplate capacity and expand Conduit’s firm delivery pipeline to approximately 300 MW of Ecomax® 33 units powered by Jenbacher engines. The 300 MW of power generating capacity is earmarked for data centers that are currently being developed in Texas and Wyoming.
All the new Ecomax® 33 units will be co-located with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Each system is designed to deliver high-availability, behind-the-meter gas-fired power for hyperscale and AI applications.
Under the agreements, AB Energy USA, headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, will deliver fully integrated Ecomax® 33 units powered by Jenbacher 620 systems equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) modules that meet stringent federal and state emissions standards. The units are engineered for high-altitude and variable-temperature operation, making them ideally suited to provide reliable power for Conduit’s distributed data center deployments, providing optimum performance even during extreme weather conditions that can occur across ERCOT and the U.S. Mountain West.
Matthew Herpich, CEO of Conduit Power, said:
With 300 MW available for our planned 2027 off-grid deployments, Conduit is uniquely positioned to meet the speed-to-market requirements that define today’s unprecedented data center load expansion,
“Because of our partnership with AB Energy USA, Conduit can bring power to new U.S. data centers, independent of grid connection timeline constraints.”
Giuseppe Fiorella, General Manager of AB Energy USA, said:
This important deal strengthens the strategic partnership between Gruppo AB and Conduit Power,
“We are building a long-term alliance aimed at scaling up through multiple projects across the U.S. that combine Conduit’s best-in-class expertise in distributed generation development and operations with AB’s advanced power generation technologies.”
