Siemens Energy will supply 119 gas turbine cores to mobile power systems across the United States, adding more than 1.7 gigawatts of planned generation capacity as data center and industrial power demand continues to rise.
The multi-year contract with Dynamis Power Solutions covers SGT-400 gas turbine cores, each capable of producing approximately 15 megawatts. Delivery of the first batch is scheduled for 2027.
Dynamis will integrate the turbines into its DT18 hypermobile power packages, designed to bring power generation capacity online faster than traditional power infrastructure. The systems can provide either temporary or permanent energy.
The companies are targeting data centers, oil and gas operations, utilities and other industrial facilities that need additional power generation without having to wait for large, permanent power plants to be built.
Mobile turbines target demand
The deal comes as fast-growing data centers and other energy-intensive industries put additional pressure on U.S. power supplies. Mobile power generation systems provide another opportunity to increase capacity where grid connections or new permanent power generation may take longer to develop.
The SGT-400 is a compact industrial gas turbine platform. Since around 15 MW is available from each of the 119 cores, the agreement corresponds to a turbine capacity of around 1.785 GW, based on the stated individual output.
“The demand for reliable and flexible power generation continues to grow as industries expand and energy needs change,” said Karim Amin, Member of the Board of Directors of Siemens Energy.
“Together with Dynamis, we help customers quickly access generation capacity by combining proven gas turbine technology with innovative deployment concepts.”
Dynamis’ DT18 is based on technology used in the company’s larger DT35 mobile power system. The company says the new package is designed to combine utility-scale generation with a smaller footprint and faster installation.
Power plants are becoming mobile
Unlike a traditional stationary power plant, the DT18 packages are intended to be transported and used where additional power is needed. This could allow operators to expand generation as demand changes or move equipment between locations.
“This agreement marks another important milestone not only in our mission to deliver power where and when our partners need it most, but also to meet the market’s growing need for flexible power solutions,” said Matt Crawford, CEO of Dynamis.
“With approximately 2 GW of combined power, Dynamis has established leadership in the hypermobile energy market, and these SGT-400 packages will significantly expand that capacity.”
The turbines will be manufactured at Siemens Energy’s facility in Lincoln, UK, which serves as the company’s global manufacturing center for small gas turbines.
For Dynamis, the order significantly expands the amount of generation equipment available for its mobile systems. For Siemens Energy, this represents a major deployment of its SGT-400 platform in a U.S. market where data centers, industrial expansions and other large power consumers are driving demand for rapidly deployable energy.
