Generation Solutions
GPC offers multiple options to energize a data center: 1) Stand-alone generation without a utility connect; 2) Baseload generation with a supplemental grid connect; or 3) Bridge power with the option to convert to back-up. Configuration options include simple cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration with waste heat capture for cooling, achieving all-in energy efficiencies of 85%+. GPC's modular design and flexible PPA allows the data center to increase capacity and modify to a higher efficiency configuration over time, balancing speed to market with cost and sustainability.
GPC develops customized solutions that meet the needs of your data center.
Stand Alone On-site Generation
GPC designs, builds, owns and operates dedicated power generation for the data center which can be fully independent from the grid. With multiple levels of redundancy exceeding grid reliability, a utility interconnection becomes optional.

On-site Generation with Grid Back-up
GPC provides dedicated onsite natural gas generation with an uptime guarantee. If the data center also has a local utility connection, grid power can be used as back-up or to supplement the total energy requirements of the facility.
Compatible with:
Bridge Power that Converts to Back-up
GPC builds permanent power infrastructure that can convert to back-up power once a utility interconnection is established.
Compatible with:
GPC's customers have the optionality to evolve their generation configuration to a more efficient design over time, balancing speed to market with cost and sustainability.
