Power for data centers.
For data center developers who need power on site before the grid connection or new equipment arrives.
A grid connection for a large load, and new turbines and transformers, can each take years. Existing units that are on standby, in storage or never installed can bridge that gap. Tell us the megawatts, the site and the date, and we look for equipment that exists today.
How buying works
- 01A short call to learn your megawatts, site, fuel and the date you need power.
- 02A summary first for each unit that fits: type, size, year, the condition the seller reports, and a price range.
- 03An NDA before you get serials, records, photos and the site.
- 04Inspection and contract your inspector checks the unit, and the contract is between you and the seller. Our fee is paid at close.
What decides the fit
We match on these before we send you anything.
- MW and redundancy
Your total load, and how many units you need so one can be down without losing power.
- Fuel and pipeline access
Pipeline gas, dual fuel or diesel, and whether gas reaches the site at the pressure a turbine needs.
- Emissions permit
What your air permit allows, and whether a unit needs controls fitted to meet it.
- Voltage and interconnection
Generator voltage, the transformer to step it up, and how the site connects to the grid, if at all.
- Timeline
When you need first power, and what drives that date.
- Condition and records
Hours, overhaul history and records, and whether you'd take a unit that needs work.
What to have ready for the first call
- Total megawatts, and how much redundancy you need
- The site or region, and the fuel you have there
- Your air permit limits, if you know them
- Where your grid interconnection stands
- The date you need first power

Your search stays private. We never tell a seller who you are without your say.
Questions
Can an existing turbine meet our emissions permit?
Sometimes as it stands, and sometimes only with controls added, such as selective catalytic reduction. It depends on the unit, your permit and your state or local air agency. We share each unit's emissions test records so your permitting team can check before you commit.
What is the difference between behind-the-meter and grid-tied?
Behind the meter means the generation sits on your side of the utility meter and serves your own load. If it never runs in parallel with the grid, the site is an island. If it runs in parallel or sends power out, the utility needs an interconnection study and has to approve it. Some sites start as an island and connect later.
What do you need from us to start?
The megawatts, the site or region, the fuel you have, your permit limits if you know them, and the date you need power. A rough answer to each is enough for the first call.
Can we buy turbines, gensets and transformers from different sellers?
Yes. A site often needs a turbine or genset plus the transformer to connect it, and these can come from different owners. Each purchase has its own contract between you and that seller.
What does the fee cost a buyer?
Success fee, paid at close, nothing up front. The fee is set in a written agreement before any introduction, and that agreement names who pays it. On most of our deals it is the buyer.
