Meanwhile Meta's Alberta gigawatt specified closed-loop liquid cooling to cut water draw, and Wärtsilä's analysis flags water scarcity eliminating aeroderivative gas turbine cooling across Mexico and parts of the U.S., narrowing technology choices where power density is already maxed.
Wärtsilä booked a 790 MW Texas order, 42 50SG engines for an off-grid facility delivering in 2028 and operating by late 2029, its fifth US data center order and first in Texas, bringing US data center capacity sold past 2.4 GW.
Wärtsilä booked a 412 MW order for an Ohio data center (40 units of its 34SG engine, first U.S. data center deployment), pushing its U.S. data center engine book past 1.6 GW.
Wärtsilä landed a 412 MW off-grid order in Ohio, PROENERGY signed a 650 MW aeroderivative deal with Crusoe Energy, and INNIO expanded its framework to 1.25 GW of gas engine capacity, all targeting data center operators who can't wait for the grid.
