Frequently Asked Questions

Gas turbines support data center power generation by generating reliable on-site electricity when utility power is limited, unavailable, or requires additional capacity. They can serve as primary power, bridge power, or backup power solutions, offering high power density, fast startup, fuel flexibility, and continuous operation for mission-critical facilities.

Solar Turbines offers a portfolio of power generation solutions that can support data center needs. Our most popular options today are the PGM130 - which provides modular power blocks and fast commissioning times and our Titan 350 which is rated at 38MW per unit.

Behind the meter gas turbine solutions are able to be scaled up and down to meet whatever power needs of a data center. This can be true for facilities that are 20MW up to gigawatt scale campuses.

Yes. Depending on configuration and fuel availability, gas turbine systems can support fuels such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), biogas, biomethane and renewable natural gas.

Many Solar Turbines packages can be configured to operate with lower-carbon fuels, including HVO, helping organizations reduce lifecycle emissions while maintaining reliable on-site power generation.

Bridge power provides temporary or transitional on-site generation when utility grid access is delayed, constrained or unavailable.

Yes. Gas turbines can serve as backup or standby power, and certain configurations can reach full load in less than 35 seconds.
