ElectriGen Announces 1.8 GW Behind-the-Meter Power Development in Texas to
Support AI Data Center Digital Infrastructure
HOUSTON, TX - 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, largescale 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 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.”
Electrigen and Hyliion to partner together in Advancing Methane Emissions Reductions in the Oil & Gas Industry With $6 Million Federal Grant
HOUSTON, TX(JANUARY 2025) - ElectriGen LLC, a power-as-a-service provider, is proud to collaborate with Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: HYLN), a developer of sustainable electricity-producing technology, on a groundbreaking project aimed at reducing methane emissions in the oil and gas sector. Hyliion has been awarded a $6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Methane Emissions Reduction Program as part of a project representing $8.4 million in federal and non-federal funding. Under this initiative, Hyliion in partnership with ElectriGen will install up to 2 megawatts of its cutting-edge KARNO™ generators.
The KARNO generator is a groundbreaking fuel-agnostic solution that utilizes a linear generator architecture to produce electricity both economically and efficiently. Capable of operating on over 20 different fuels, including raw, unprocessed field gas, the generator is expected to offer lower maintenance costs and a significantly reduced emissions profile compared to conventional technologies.
The collaboration between ElectriGen and Hyliion is designed to demonstrate the KARNO generator’s ability to operate on well-head gas to produce sustainable, near-zero emissions electricity. The KARNO generator has been successfully tested using untreated natural gas from the Permian Basin. By utilizing excess gas that would otherwise be flared, the KARNO system can reduce methane emissions and create a valuable revenue stream, offering a sustainable and efficient power solution for the energy sector.
“As part of our portfolio that represents up to several megawatts of power per deployment, this innovation is a step change in how ElectriGen can deliver near zero emissions power having the capability to use natural gas that would otherwise be unusable without fuel conditioning costs. With our partnership with Hyliion, we will custom engineer the ability to increase the power capacity per deployment,” said Chris Combs, Co-founder and COO of ElectriGen. “The award provides the industry a pathway to continue to focus on innovative technologies that pushes the envelope to achieve a best-in-class emissions profile while providing safety, cost savings, community focus, and operational reliability.”
The funding is part of the U.S. DOE and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s $850 million Methane Emissions Reduction Program to back projects targeting advancement in monitoring, measuring, and mitigation of methane emissions across the oil and gas industry. This grant enables the deployment of the KARNO generator technology in the oil and gas industry, advancing sustainable energy generation, as well as economic growth and job creation in local communities.
The funding awarded to Hyliion and ElectriGen is contingent upon the completion of final negotiations and the execution of a definitive agreement with the U.S. DOE.
