Baker Hughes, a global energy technology and services provider, has been awarded a turbine order from Twenty20 Energy – a U.S. power generation developer specializing in enabling next-generation data center and digital infrastructure – for the supply of 10 Frame 5 gas turbines and associated generator equipment. The deal marks a step in the expanding partnership between the two companies aimed at delivering reliable and resilient power capacity for the rapidly growing U.S. data center market. This is especially particular to those supporting AI and advanced cloud computing workloads.

More on Twenty20 Energy-Baker Hughes Gas Turbine Order for Texas and Georgia Data Centers

The initial order is for 250 MW of power generation capacity. It is earmarked for deployment at Twenty20 Energy’s data center projects in Georgia and Texas with initial deliveries scheduled for 2027.

While modest relative to the multi-gigawatt ambitions by the two companies, Baker Hughes and Twenty20’s collaboration for this order provides momentum for both companies to scale their own tech and power solutions. The deal is also seen as a way to address constrained grid capacity from power-hungry data centers. This is alongside the increasing demand for dedicated onsite or behind-the-meter power solutions for hyperscale data centers. This is also true for many other duos, including Constellation and CyrusOne’s agreement to power a new data center in Texas.

Outlook on Twenty20 Energy-Baker Hughes Gas Turbine Order for Texas and Georgia Data Centers

The turbine order also highlights Baker Hughes’ growing participation in the data center power supply segment. This segment is seeing increasing demand for resilient and flexible generation solutions alongside cloud and AI workloads.

Additionally, as grid constraints and renewable intermittency continue to challenge large-scale power delivery, developers like Twenty20 Energy are increasingly pursuing behind-the-meter and dedicated generation assets to secure uptime and performance guarantees.

Given scheduled deliveries beginning in 2027, many will be watching closely how Baker Hughes machines perform in the service environments tied to AI and next-generation computing infrastructure.
