Kodiak Gas Services and Baker Hughes on July 8 announced a multi-year strategic agreement under which Baker Hughes will provide power generation solutions to support Kodiak’s expanding energy infrastructure initiatives.
The agreement is anchored by an initial equipment award that will enable approximately 1 gigawatt (GW) of scalable power generation capacity to be delivered by 2030, with the broader framework providing a pathway for up to 1.8 GW of power over time.
The initial major order includes NovaLT™16 gas turbines, Frame 5 gas turbines and BRUSH™ Power Generation generators, providing core technologies to deliver dependable power for growing data center and energy infrastructure demand.
Baker Hughes’ high-efficiency power generation technologies are expected to support behind-the-meter projects in key U.S. markets where accelerating electricity demand and grid constraints are increasing the need for flexible, rapidly deployable power infrastructure, the companies said.
The multi-year rolling agreement provides flexibility to align capacity commitments with evolving data center demand and phased project development schedules.
Through the agreement, Kodiak expects to leverage Baker Hughes' power generation portfolio to support both existing operations and future growth opportunities.
"The framework is designed to foster closer commercial and technical collaboration between the companies, streamline project execution and reduce lead times for critical power infrastructure deployments. It also sets forth the companies’ commitments to technical training, the provision of spare parts and a mutual interest in entering into a long-term services arrangement for the equipment," they said.
