Wedoany.com Report-Jun 8, Bergen Engines, previously known as Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines, has secured a contract to provide its first independent power solution for a cutting-edge AI data center in the United States. The project, developed by E-Finity Distributed Generation, a prominent energy developer, will see the Bergen plant deliver an initial capacity of over 130MW, with plans for future expansion to meet the rising demand for AI infrastructure.

The power solution includes twelve B36:45V20 medium-speed lean-burn gas engines, each generating 11.2MW of electrical power at 60Hz during the project’s first phase. These engines, paired with generators from Marelli Motori, a sister company, are configured in an (n+3) system to ensure consistent, efficient, and scalable power delivery tailored to the needs of AI infrastructure. Initial deliveries are set for later this year, with the data center power plant expected to be operational in 2026.

The facility will employ a behind-the-meter power strategy, designed to support high-density AI workloads with high uptime availability and uninterrupted operations. Bergen’s medium-speed gensets, combined with Marelli Motori generators, were selected for their ability to meet these demanding requirements with precision and reliability.

Chosen for their rapid deployment and exceptional dependability, Bergen Engines’ solutions significantly reduce Time to Power (T2P) compared to traditional alternatives, a key advantage in the fast-evolving AI infrastructure market. The gensets are engineered to achieve 99.999% uptime availability, surpassing typical grid reliability, which is critical for AI platforms where operational continuity is essential.

Jim Bondi, Partner & Chief Operating Officer at E-Finity, stated: “We’re proud to partner with Bergen Engines to deliver rapid, reliable, and scalable power for next-generation AI data centres. This collaboration enables our clients to achieve industry-leading uptime and operational flexibility as they scale to meet growing AI demands.”

Theo Lorentzos, Head of Sales Americas at Bergen Engines, added: “As the demand for AI data centres accelerates at an unprecedented pace, the limitations of existing grid infrastructure have become increasingly clear. We’re experiencing a surge in demand for our engine solutions, as developers urgently seek power systems that can be deployed fast, with shorter Time to Power (T2P), deliver exceptional efficiency and reliability, and provide uptime availability levels of 99.999% — exceeding what the grid can typically offer. Our medium-speed solutions are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for powering the next generation of data centres.”

Bergen Engines, owned by Langley Holdings PLC, operates under the company’s Power Solutions Division, collaborating with Marelli Motori and Piller Power Systems to provide comprehensive technology solutions for data center infrastructure, ensuring reliable power generation and advanced power conditioning.
