Florida-based New APR Energy plans to deploy four mobile gas turbines, together capable of providing more than 100 MW of behind-the-meter power, to an unnamed data center hyperscaler, the company announced Tuesday. It expects to make more such deployments as the electricity demands of artificial intelligence begin to accelerate, officials said.

Fortress Investment Group said in January it had acquired APR Energy’s assets, comprising 30 mobile gas-powered turbines with a combined capacity of 850 MW.

“We are excited to deploy New APR Energy’s first 100 MW to a U.S.-based data center. This deployment is a good proof point for our investment thesis for behind-the-meter power demand,” said Chuck Ferry, New APR Energy chairman and CEO. He also serves as CEO of Duostech.

Members of the former APR Energy management team lead New APR Energy through an asset management agreement with Duostech.

“We are currently in discussions with many other data center operators and hyperscalers seeking similar support and expect to announce more deployments in the coming weeks,” Ferry said.

Data centers and growth in AI have driven electricity demand forecasts rapidly higher over the past year. The Electric Power Research Institute in May predicted data centers could double their consumption, to 9% of the United States’ electricity generation, by 2030.

However, improved algorithm and chip efficiency could slow that demand growth, experts say. Microsoft has canceled leases for two data centers, TD Cowen analysts said last week, though the company maintains it will spend more than $80 billion on infrastructure this fiscal year.

“Securing power solutions from local utilities has become a challenge for data center expansion,” New APR said in its announcement. The company’s mobile gas turbine fleet “offers a fast and flexible alternative that can accelerate a data center developer’s project timeline and scalability.”
