Parker Hannifin Wins Major Contract for Texas Hyperscale Data Centre Power Project
Parker Hannifin has secured a major contract to supply advanced equipment for nearly 30 aeroderivative gas turbines powering a new Data Centre Power Project in Abilene, Texas.
The deal highlights Parker’s engineering expertise in energy resilience and its growing contribution to powering hyperscale data operations, reducing grid dependence while maintaining efficiency and sustainability.
Supplying Power for the Stargate Site 1 Project
The project, named Stargate Site 1, will feature 29 GE Vernova LM2500XPRESS dual-fuel gas turbines, each rated at 35 megawatts electrical (MWe), with a total capacity exceeding 1 gigawatt electrical (GWe).
Under the agreement, Parker Hannifin will deliver:
- Combustion and ventilation air intake filtration systems
- Power augmentation solutions
- Acoustic silencing systems
These components form a complete performance package for the high-efficiency gas turbine fleet.
Advanced Filtration and Cooling Systems
Parker’s scope of supply includes clear current PRO cartridge filters, part of its compact, optimised filter house system engineered for consistent, high-performance filtration in extreme conditions.
The filters:
- Maintain steady pressure loss across their lifespan
- Operate in temperatures from -60°C to +50°C
- Deliver reliable performance in dusty, high-heat environments typical of the Texas climate
Each turbine air intake will feature recirculating water evaporative coolers to enhance thermal efficiency during hot weather, as well as acoustic silencers that meet local environmental noise standards.
Together, these technologies improve turbine efficiency, reliability, and environmental compliance.
Enhancing Reliability and Clean Energy Generation
As a long-standing partner to major gas turbine OEMs, Parker Hannifin provides technology that safeguards long-term performance and operational stability for critical power infrastructure.
Pete McGuigan, Market Manager at Parker’s Filtration & Energy Solutions Division, said:
Data centres need flexible and reliable power 24/7 but rightly expect that performance to be delivered in the cleanest way possible,
“Aeroderivative gas turbine packages using local associated gas reserves are among the cleanest energy generation technologies available today but rely on effective filtration, cooling, and acoustic solutions to sustain efficiency with a minimal environmental footprint. We’re proud to support both GT OEMs and growth industries like data centres with our full suite of capabilities – from filtration and aerodynamic design to thermodynamic and acoustic performance.”
Meeting Growing Energy Demands of Hyperscale Data Centres
The contract reflects the increasing importance of gas turbine technology in powering energy-intensive digital infrastructure.
By providing clean, resilient, on-site power generation, Parker Hannifin is helping hyperscale operators reduce grid reliance, control emissions, and ensure uptime for mission-critical computing workloads – reinforcing its position as a global leader in engineered energy systems.
