AB Energy USA has secured approximately 2 GW of power projects for U.S. data centers, Event Registry reported.

The generation capacity will supply five on-site data centers across Texas and Oklahoma, according to Event Registry.

The modular power systems use INNIO Jenbacher gas engines and can incorporate absorption chillers that convert residual engine heat into chilled water for data center cooling.

Some projects will also integrate battery energy storage systems and other technologies to increase capacity and operational flexibility.

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said the province's draft data centre policy requires new projects to have no impact or a positive impact on ratepayers. The commitment addresses concerns over the proposed Lorneville Data Centre near Saint John.

The project would need 390 MW to operate, according to the arrangement between Beacon Data Centers and VoltaGrid. Of that total, 190 MW is expected to be produced on site, with the remaining 200 MW supplied by NB Power's grid.

New Brunswick Southwest MP John Williamson said the Lorneville Data Centre should not move ahead unless stable electricity rates can be assured for New Brunswick residents. Williamson said ratepayers across the province have seen a 35% power rate increase over the last three years.
