B&W offers proven solutions to support your power demand, development schedule & future growth
With the current reality of surging power demand, the gas turbine bottleneck, and a very real potential market advantage for first movers, speed to power wins the data center race.
The FastPower℠ program from Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) addresses power needs with the ability to deploy firm power in as little as 24 months* using proven, reliable power generation technologies with a scalable approach. As the power EPC for your data campus, B&W can handle your data center power project through all its stages, from engineering, to procurement and construction.
*Based on application and system specifications
Speed
On-site power generation sidesteps the 3-5 year interconnect queue while helping address utility price concerns from local communities that often cause permitting and related delays.
Cost Savings
Temporary “bridge” power options typically come with high OPEX and replacement costs. More efficient “foundation” power solutions are needed to lower OPEX while providing a base for future growth.
Stability
Steam is the most deployed power technology on earth. There is no first-of-a-kind risk — which is the entire point. The proven power of B&W natural gas boilers, paired with state-of-the-art steam-driven turbines, enables you to reduce your deployment schedule versus standalone gas turbine options.
Whether your servers need the computing power to run AI workloads or the infrastructure to store essential data, the FastPower program provides the highly reliable uptime and resilience needed for mission-critical data center operations.
Bypass Turbine Bottlenecks
FastPower is a modular approach that begins generating firm power in about 24 months
FastPower uses gas-fired boiler and steam turbine technology to generate power without waiting for combustion turbines. The proven reliability of steam-based power continues to support operations when performance and uptime are most critical.
Modular scalability and phased flexibility align with incremental growth to reduce risk and speed project timelines.
The platform scales from 50 MW blocks to 300 MW plants, enabling phased investment aligned with demand growth. Blocks can be repeated so that 2 GW of power becomes a modular assembly of proven, bankable units rather than a single mega-project. You’ll satisfy immediate foundational power needs while gaining long-term efficiency through a multi-phased process. The design adapts to market prices, regulatory changes, and combustion turbine availability without stranding capital.
Future integration capability — from improved efficiency to environmental regulatory benefits.
Combustion turbines can be added later to improve efficiency, preserving early power generation benefits. The existing boiler is converted to (or operates as) a heat recovery steam generator, creating a true “enhanced combined cycle.” And all FastPower solutions are carbon-capture ready to ensure you are prepared for the regulatory environment of 2030 and beyond.

Power Demand – Winds of change go from gale to hurricane force
Unprecedented electrification from data centers and industry is driving a storm surge of demand not seen in decades – making power a critical constraint to growth. We’ll talk about speed-to-power headwinds and implications of delays in today’s accelerating demand.
Energy Economics – The surge driving market opportunity
As power constraints intensify, the market is surging with opportunity for those who can provide capacity – requiring potential tradeoffs between temporary and permanent power solutions. We’ll examine potential trade-offs in generation costs and financial impact of scaling to meet future demand.
Global Change - Steering into an uncertain horizon
Geopolitics, energy security concerns and evolving environmental mandates could dramatically alter the energy landscape over the coming years. We’ll discuss changing regulations, emissions requirements, supply dynamics and other factors that could affect long-term resilience.
