Power Generation Solutions for Data Centers
Reliable, redundant, efficient, quickly deployable technologies to meet urgent demand
Babcock & Wilcox has consistently risen to the challenge of finding a Better Way to generate power that meets the world's evolving energy needs. With a large global installed base of reliable, utility-scale boiler equipment, our legacy of performance, safety, and dependability has earned the trust of customers who rely on us to engineer and deliver solutions that work. B&W offers time-tested technologies and services that support the near-term needs and long-term success of our customers’ facilities.
The rise of artificial intelligence (A.I.) and machine learning -- coupled with the proliferation of connected devices and the need to process and manage all the data they generate -- are driving the need for large-scale, high-performance data centers around the world. The energy for these data centers can put a tremendous strain on electricity grid infrastructures. This presents challenges for electricity providers. It also presents opportunities.
The B&W Advantage:
- Modular, field-erected, scalable designs for accelerated startup
- Custom-engineered solutions to use available fuel and meet generating capacity targets
- Global, extensive installed base to leverage for superior, predictable performance
- Future-proof technologies for affordable, adaptable, reliable energy

on news of B&W's LNTP project award with Applied Digital
Artificial intelligence is driving a surge in energy demand, and Babcock & Wilcox is rising to meet it with fast, efficient and reliable power solutions.
In this video, Chief Technology Officer Brandy Johnson discusses how we've partnered with Applied Digital to supply 1 GW of power for a major AI data center project, and are also working with Denham Capital to convert old coal plants into clean-burning natural gas facilities.
With over $3 billion in data center projects in the pipeline, B&W is ready to help power the future of AI.
“B&W has designed and installed thousands of boilers and has more than 400 gigawatts of installed generating capacity at utility and industrial plants around the world. Our solutions for AI data centers are proven technologies that utilize natural gas efficiently while providing reliable, redundant and readily available power faster than combined-cycle or simple-cycle plants. This approach leverages the core strengths of Babcock & Wilcox and represents an ideal solution to power data centers.”- Kenneth Young, B&W Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
