ElectriGen LLC, a leader in behind-the-meter and bridge-to-grid power infrastructure solutions, today announced the execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to develop and operate a 1.8 gigawatt (GW) behind-the-meter power platform designed to support phased, large-scale data center development.
The proposed project consists of two separate 900-megawatt natural gas-fired generation facilities, along with ancillary equipment to support load balancing, delivering a combined 1.5 GW of IT load capacity. The site will be in an undisclosed location within the Texas market.
The platform is expected to operate under a 15-year commercial term, with 5-year extension options, and pricing based on continuous 24/7 available capacity. A Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study will be conducted jointly by the parties to further refine engineering, technical, and site parameters.
The power system will utilize high-efficiency natural gas reciprocating engines and/or gas turbines, delivering power at 34.5 kV and incorporating battery energy storage system (BESS) and other ancillary systems for balance of load to enhance operational flexibility and reliability.
“This project represents the scale of infrastructure required to meet the explosive growth of AI and high-performance computing,” said Chris Combs, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of ElectriGen. “Behind-the-meter generation provides developers with the speed, reliability, and energy security needed to bring next-generation digital infrastructure online. We could not be more excited to become aligned with our customer partner, our supply chain partners, and our capital partners to push ahead in making this project become a reality.”
The project targets commercial operation in 2028 pending finalization of definitive agreements and infrastructure development.
“AI-driven compute demand is reshaping the energy landscape,” Combs added. “Projects like this demonstrate how decentralized natural gas generation can deliver reliable power independent of grid constraints while supporting the continued expansion of the digital economy in our AI race in the United States.”
