German engine manufacturer Everllence has signed a deal to supply 480MW of gas engine capacity to an unnamed US data center developer.
The company will provide 24 of its 18V51/60G gas engines, which will power the data center behind the meter.
“This contract is one of our most important off-grid data center projects in the United States and strengthens our position in a rapidly evolving digital infrastructure sector. In a market traditionally dominated by gas turbines, our medium-speed engines offer a valuable alternative that is ideal for data centers without direct grid access. They deliver stable power quality, ensure maximum reliability, and can respond quickly to load changes,” Johann Stocks, head of Power, Americas at Everllence, said.
Everllence’s gas engine deliveries will begin in mid-2026 across two phases, aligning with the data center’s commissioning schedule. The company’s 18V51/60G engine delivers 24MW and can run on natural gas, hydrogen, and biofuels. Everllence has already deployed 124MW of the technology with Kerrville Public Utility Board. Headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, Everllence is expanding its focus on the data center market, recently launching its 175D backup generator set designed specifically for data center applications.
