Baker Hughes, a global energy technology company, announced Wednesday it has secured a contract from Frontier Infrastructure Holdings, a portfolio company of Tailwater Capital LLC, to supply 16 NovaLT gas turbines. The turbines will provide up to 270 megawatts (MW) of efficient, reliable power to support data center projects in Wyoming and Texas.
The agreement includes the delivery of Baker Hughes’ NovaLT gas turbine technology and related equipment, such as gears and four-pole generators from Brush Power Generation. These components will be used to power Frontier’s behind-the-meter (BTM) energy islands—localized power generation systems that enhance reliability and efficiency for data centers.
This order builds on a broader collaboration established in March 2025 between Baker Hughes and Frontier to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions across the U.S. Notably, the two companies are working together on the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming, a large-scale CCS project designed to reduce carbon emissions and support clean energy initiatives.
“This award underscores our commitment to advancing sustainable energy development through reliable and efficient power solutions that cater to the diverse needs of the industry,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “Leveraging our comprehensive range of integrated power solutions for Frontier’s U.S. data center projects demonstrates innovative, scalable and lower-carbon technologies helping to meet the growing demand for power.”
The NovaLT turbine is a flexible, multi-fuel system capable of operating on various fuel types. It can start up and run on natural gas, blends of natural gas and hydrogen, or even 100% hydrogen. This adaptability provides customers with tailored, reliable and sustainable power options that align with evolving environmental and operational requirements.
Baker Hughes offers a wide-ranging portfolio of energy solutions aimed at improving energy reliability and sustainability. In addition to hydrogen-ready turbines, the company provides technologies in geothermal energy and cogeneration. These offerings serve data center developers, hyperscalers, energy packagers and end users looking for high-performance, low-emission energy infrastructure.
The latest award further strengthens Baker Hughes’ position as a key provider of advanced energy technologies for digital infrastructure and reinforces its role in supporting the energy transition.
