The U.S. data center industry is growing faster than the power grid can keep up. Utility interconnection delays, capacity caps, and long approval timelines are becoming a critical barrier to expansion. Find out how you can build your own energy island with a cogeneration plant (CHP) from GENTEC!
We have available manufacturing capacity as we maintain a dynamic production flow to accommodate strategic projects.
We have proven experience delivering cogeneration units for continuous and mission-critical operation. Our technology helps stabilize power grids across multiple European countries, powers one of the world’s most powerful lasers, and delivers reliable energy to critical infrastructure in Ukraine’s conflict-affected regions.
We work with trusted local partners who handle on-site commissioning of your cogeneration unit and provide ongoing service, maintenance, and support.
Utility power availability is now one of the biggest bottlenecks for new and expanding data centers. Cogeneration allows you to bypass grid capacity limitations, reduce dependence on overloaded utilities, and secure power availability for new builds and expansions.
Data centers demand uninterrupted power. Cogeneration systems are designed for continuous base-load operation, and offer high availability and redundancy. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) further enhance reliability by providing instant response to grid disturbances, load spikes, or transition events. In a hybrid setup, BESS can bridge short-term gaps, stabilize power quality, and add an extra redundancy layer – helping ensure truly seamless 24/7 operation.
Waiting years for grid upgrades is no longer an option. On-site generation enables parallel development with construction, predictable project timelines, and earlier go-live dates.
Cogeneration generates electricity and usable heat in one efficient process. Compared to centralized power plants, it achieves significantly higher electrical efficiency and produces far lower CO₂ emissions per MWh. This captured heat –enhanced further when combined with excess heat from datacenters – provides direct value for district heating, district cooling, industrial processes, etc. And it’s future-ready too – fully prepared for the integration of renewable gases and hydrogen blends.
Generate your own power and reduce exposure to volatile electricity prices, demand charges, peak penalties, and uncertain utility tariff structures.
Cogeneration is a naturally modular solution that grows with your data center. As power demand increases, additional containerized units can be added quickly without major changes to the existing infrastructure. This approach lets you install only the capacity you need today and scale step by step as your data center expands.
Data centers don’t only require large amounts of electricity – they also need continuous, reliable cooling. Trigeneration expands the concept of cogeneration by using a single system to produce electricity, recover heat, and generate cooling through absorption chillers. Instead of wasting heat, the system turns it into a useful resource.
For data centers, this means lower electrical demand for cooling, higher overall energy efficiency, and improved PUE compared to conventional solutions where power and cooling are produced separately. Trigeneration simplifies infrastructure, reduces operating costs, and creates a fully integrated on-site energy solution designed for 24/7 mission-critical operation.
We are here to find the best solution for you!
