The fact
Bergen Engines has secured an order from Liberty Energy for more than 500MW of on-site power generation capacity for large-scale AI data centre developments in the United States. The agreement covers 45 B36:45V20 AG1 Bergen-Marelli gas generator sets, each rated at 11.2MWe. The system integrates Piller’s SHIELDX™ flywheel-based power stabilisation technology, can operate fully off-grid in island mode or grid-parallel, and is scheduled for delivery from the second half of 2027.
The Assessment
The order illustrates how AI data centre growth is driving a shift from traditional grid-dependent power to dedicated on-site generation solutions. High-density and highly dynamic AI workloads create unpredictable load profiles that conventional power systems cannot easily absorb. By integrating Bergen Engines’ medium-speed gas units with SHIELDX™ dynamic stabilisation technology, Liberty Energy aims to provide resilient, independent power supply.
As US grid capacity struggles to keep pace with demand, this deployment points to a broader trend toward scalable, autonomous energy architectures in AI data centres, signalling structural opportunities for engine manufacturers and power-stabilisation technology providers.
What to Watch
Watch Liberty’s deployment timeline, operating costs and emissions performance, plus whether other US AI data centre developers adopt island-mode or grid-parallel generation. A larger follow-on order would indicate this model is scaling beyond a first deployment.
