Gas Turbines Awarded for Data Center Power Projects

Baker Hughes has received an award from Twenty20 Energy for 10 Frame 5 gas turbines and associated generator technology, supporting up to 250 MW of installed power generation capacity. The equipment is designated for data center projects in Georgia and Texas, with initial deliveries scheduled for 2027.

Gas Turbine Capacity for AI-Driven Infrastructure
The Frame 5 gas turbines will form the core of distributed power generation systems intended to supply electricity to large-scale data centers. With a combined capacity of up to 250 MW, the installation targets facilities designed to support AI workloads and digital infrastructure, where continuous, high-density power supply is critical.

Gas turbines in this class are commonly used for industrial and utility-scale applications due to their operational flexibility, compact footprint, and ability to provide fast-start capabilities. For data center environments, such characteristics can help address load variability and reliability requirements associated with AI-driven computing clusters.

The order includes generator technology integrated with the turbines, forming complete power generation packages suitable for on-site or dedicated supply configurations.

Toward a Multi-Gigawatt Strategic Agreement
The award represents an initial phase of a broader strategic collaboration under discussion between Baker Hughes and Twenty20 Energy. The companies are progressing toward an agreement under which Baker Hughes would supply multi-gigawatt-scale power generation equipment.

Scaling to multi-gigawatt capacity would align with the rapid growth of hyperscale and AI-focused data centers across the United States. These facilities require resilient and dispatchable power solutions to complement grid supply, particularly in regions experiencing transmission constraints or accelerated digital infrastructure development.

Regional Deployment in Georgia and Texas
The first 10 turbines are allocated to projects in Georgia and Texas, two states experiencing significant data center expansion due to favorable regulatory environments, grid access, and land availability.

By securing turbine capacity in advance of final project buildout, Twenty20 Energy positions itself to accelerate construction timelines for its data center power assets. Early procurement of long-lead equipment such as gas turbines can reduce project execution risk and support synchronized commissioning of generation capacity and IT infrastructure.

Power Generation for Digital Infrastructure
The collaboration addresses the growing energy demand associated with AI and high-performance computing applications. As data processing intensity increases, data center operators are seeking dedicated and reliable power generation solutions capable of supporting continuous operations.

Through the supply of 10 Frame 5 gas turbines with associated generators, the project establishes up to 250 MW of generation capacity for digital infrastructure developments. The planned strategic expansion toward multi-gigawatt supply indicates a longer-term effort to align power generation deployment with accelerating AI-driven data center growth in the United States.
