Technology group Wärtsilä will supply an off-grid energy power solution for a new data center facility under construction in Texas, USA. The 790 MW power plant will operate with 42 Wärtsilä 50SG engines running on natural gas. By opting for a primary power source using Wärtsilä engines, the facility can ensure fast access to reliable power. The order was booked as intake by Wärtsilä in Q2 2026.
Texas is a key region for artificial intelligence model training and large-scale infrastructure buildout with an urgent need for power that the grid cannot currently adequately provide. Wärtsilä’s engines represent a proven, efficient, and reliable solution for the quickly evolving requirements of large-scale data center developments.
