Conduit Power has executed purchase orders for 75 Ecomax 33 power generation units, each powered by Jenbacher 620 engines, from AB Energy USA. This order, totaling 250 megawatt (MW) of nameplate capacity, brings Conduit’s pipeline to approximately 300 MW of Ecomax 33 units to support new data centers in Texas and Wyoming, as announced by Conduit Power.
Each Ecomax 33 unit will be co-located with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and is engineered to provide high-availability, behind-the-meter, gas-fired power targeting hyperscale and artificial intelligence (AI) data center applications. The AB Energy USA-delivered systems integrate Jenbacher 620 engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) modules to comply with federal and state emissions regulations.
According to Conduit Power, these units are designed for variable temperature and high-altitude operations. The deployment aims to deliver reliable power for distributed data center facilities, especially in regions subject to extreme weather across ERCOT and the US Mountain West.
“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,” said Matthew Herpich, CEO of Conduit Power. “Because of our partnership with AB Energy USA, Conduit can bring power to new U.S. data centers, independent of grid connection timeline constraints.”
“This important deal strengthens the strategic partnership between Gruppo AB and Conduit Power,” said Giuseppe Fiorella, General Manager of AB Energy USA. “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.”
