No Grid? No Problem.

Wärtsilä will deliver 27 engines to provide continuous primary power for a new data center under construction in the United States. The onsite power facility will operate with 27 Wärtsilä 50SG engines with a power of 507 MW. The engines will run on natural gas and can be converted to run on sustainable fuels in the future. The equipment will be delivered in 2027.

“Our off-grid solutions eliminate lengthy grid connection delays and also provide many other intrinsic benefits,” said Anders Lindberg, president of Wärtsilä Energy and executive vice president of Wärtsilä. “Wärtsilä’s modular engine power plants ensure high power availability even during maintenance, and they ramp up quickly to meet fluctuating power demands. The plants scale up in capacity fast as data centers grow and operate efficiently, also in the most demanding environments, using significantly less fuel and water than other technologies.”
