Data center operators deploy on-site generation using gas turbines, reciprocating engines, or hybrid configurations with battery storage. Prismecs delivers these as turnkey power plants configured for the facility's actual load and redundancy requirements, providing power for sites with delayed grid connection.
Data Center Power Solutions for Mission-Critical Operations
Prismecs delivers on-site power generation, structured O&M, and lifecycle engineering services for data centers. Each approach is built around the uptime, capacity, and speed requirements of mission-critical computing facilities.
Powering Data Centers
Beyond the Grid
Data centers face grid interconnection delays, limited utility capacity, and lengthy transformer and switchgear procurement timelines that can postpone facility deployment. High-density AI workloads increase power demand, while intensive cooling requirements add to electrical loads. Voltage fluctuations, backup power redundancy, and strict uptime targets further complicate infrastructure planning.
Prismecs addresses these challenges through on-site generation, battery energy storage, and integrated power infrastructure tailored to facility loads, deployment schedules, and reliability requirements.

Inspection, repair, refurbishment, and overhaul services cover gas turbines, generators, switchgear, and balance-of-plant equipment across operating data center facilities.
Critical and Emergency Power Solutions
Standby and emergency generation is configured around IT load tiers and facility redundancy architecture, supporting Tier III and Tier IV availability during grid outages.
Temporary and Bridging Power Solutions
Temporary and bridging power solutions help data centers maintain reliable capacity while awaiting permanent power infrastructure, grid connections, or facility expansion.
Complete Power Plant Solutions
Turnkey gas turbine and reciprocating engine plants are engineered for data center duty cycles, integrating electrical distribution, controls, and cooling infrastructure.
BESS and Microgrid Solutions
Battery storage systems are sized to data center load profiles and provide ride-through power during transfer events, peak shaving, and load following for GPU clusters.
Gas Turbine Performance and Emissions Solutions
Combustion tuning, compressor wash programs, and emissions upgrades help natural gas turbines maintain rated output and meet air quality permit conditions.
Power plant Relocation Solutions
Existing gas turbine assets are relocated from decommissioned sites to new data center campuses, with Prismecs managing surveys, reinstallation, and recommissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A data center can operate entirely on behind-the-meter power using natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, or hybrid systems with BESS. Prismecs configures complete generation, electrical distribution, controls, and fuel infrastructure for islanded or grid-parallel operation.
Grid interconnection now takes four to seven years in most U.S. markets due to transmission study backlogs and substation upgrade requirements. Prismecs helps operators evaluate on-site power generation for data centers as a permanent or bridge solution while interconnection progresses.
Curtailment risk is the possibility that a utility will reduce or interrupt power delivery during peak demand or system emergencies. For data centers, curtailment risk for large loads can threaten uptime SLAs. On-site generation and BESS eliminate exposure by placing power production under direct operator control.
Data center power plants typically use aeroderivative gas turbines for 15 to 45 MW campuses, industrial frame turbines for 75 to 225 MW facilities, and combined cycle units for hyperscale campuses exceeding 300 MW. Selection depends on load profile, redundancy needs, and emissions conditions.
Yes. Prismecs provides structured O&M for data center power plants, combining CMMS-based maintenance, reliability engineering, condition monitoring, and coordinated MRO support. The scope covers gas turbines, generators, switchgear, transformers, fuel systems, cooling infrastructure, and balance-of-plant equipment throughout the asset lifecycle.
