Titus Low Carbon Ventures has officially announced a partnership with AB Energy USA, LLC to facilitate the generation of 673 megawatts of fast‑start, natural‑gas reciprocating engine generation, all for anchoring the initial phase of Titus’ Texas data center power park projects.
According to certain, the first 400 megawatts of generation will be commissioned by Q4 2027 to meet rapid power deployment objectives.
More on the same would reveal how, under the agreed terms, AB Energy is expected to deliver up to 202 Ecomax 33 packaged reciprocating units powered by Jenbacher J620 engines, with the parties planning more tranches to support campuses and multi-gigawatt build-out over time. For better understanding, these containerized, modular blocks basically install and commission in parallel to facilitate staged campus energization commencing in mid-2027.
Markedly enough, each block is expected to feature quick start, fast ramping, low heat rate power with superior emissions controls that are compliant with stringent air standards. Not just that, they are also designed for Island-mode operation with BESS, as well as to operate behind-the-meter alongside Titus’ solar and wind technology.
All in all, the idea here is to arrive at a fully redundant power envelope capable of shortening time-to-power, hedging spot volatility, and providing firm capacity in compliance with recent regulatory change across Texas.
“Time‑to‑power wins in this new era,” said Jeff Ferguson, President of Titus. “Partnering with Gruppo AB gives Titus a thermal generation solution that delivers firm flexible power and— when deployed at our renewable sites—a clear pathway to the cleanest, lowest power cost data center campuses in the U.S.”
Making the given development even more important would be Titus’ power‑park model. You see, this model is purpose-built to co‑locate behind‑the‑meter thermal generation with utility‑scale solar, wind, battery storage and a high‑voltage grid interconnect, eventually making up a configuration meant for AI and high-performance computing loads.
The stated configuration further comes bearing an ability to prioritize reliability, transient load stability, and power cost control, while simultaneously meeting ESG objectives. Not just that, Titus’ multitechnology approach also leverages on‑site economic dispatch and opportunistic grid sales to effectively reduce the price of power to the data center load by over 70%, as compared to the cost associated with grid only connected parks.
Founded in, Titus’ rise up the ranks stems from developing integrated, industrial‑park‑style power campuses that co‑locate data centers with on‑site thermal and renewable generation and battery storage, supported by high‑voltage grid interconnects. As for company’s present focal point, it includes conceiving accelerated time‑to‑power and 24/7 supply for large, energy‑intensive customers.
As for AB Group, it basically offers a range of integrated power solutions aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. The company’s portfolio of solutions also packs together a wide range of primary technologies, as well as highly effective emissions treatment technologies, such as biogas-to-RNG upgrading, CO₂, RNG liquefaction and Regenerative thermal oxidizers.
AB Group’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it has, thus far, installed more than 1,950+ systems that collectively generate over 2,250 MW. Thanks to these capabilities, the organization is today operational in more than 25 countries across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia.
“We are thrilled and very proud to have been selected by Titus as their main supplier for the realization of their cutting-edge data center power projects,” said Giuseppe Fiorella, General Manager AB North America. “Our Ecomax 33 power plants powered by Jenbacher J620 engines are built for mission-critical sites and rapid deployment. This collaboration represents one further step for the AB’s growth in the U.S., a market where we are committed to deliver reliable, sustainable, and efficient energy solutions, and where we are strengthening our presence with the upcoming opening of our new U.S. Headquarters in the Houston area”.
