Pioneer Power Solutions Unveils PRYMUS, a Mobile Hybrid Power System for Data Centers

Pioneer Power Solutions Unveils PRYMUS, a Mobile Hybrid Power System for Data Centers December 11, 2025 As the global demand for data center capacity, particularly from artificial intelligence workloads, continues to surge, the industry faces a critical bottleneck: a widening gap between power demand and available grid infrastructure. This challenge has spurred innovation in alternative power solutions that can be deployed rapidly and reliably. Addressing this need, US-based electrical equipment developer Pioneer Power Solutions has launched PRYMUS, a new hybrid mobile power system designed specifically for the data center market. The system is a modular, scalable unit available in pre-engineered blocks ranging from 1 megawatt to 10 megawatts in capacity. According to the company, a key advantage of PRYMUS is its deployment timeline, which can be as short as six months from order to commissioning—a stark contrast to the multi-year lead times often associated with traditional grid expansion projects. The platform combines multi-fuel prime power generation, capable of running on renewable natural gas (RNG), LPG, renewable diesel, or conventional diesel, with integrated Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (mBESS). This hybrid architecture is engineered to provide robust base-load power while using the mBESS to actively manage the instantaneous power spikes characteristic of advanced AI computing workloads. The system also includes paralleling switchgear and advanced controls for seamless integration. Company leadership emphasized the strategic importance of the launch. Nathan Mazurek, Pioneer’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Using PRYMUS, we are not merely providing greater power. It is strategic energy resiliency. We have MW-scale capacity deployed precisely where it is required in months, not years, which means that America's technology, AI, and industrial sectors will continue to expand without having to wait on the grid.” Geo Murickan, President of Pioneer eMobility, added that the company’s experience in complex microgrid projects informed the design, aiming to deliver “a superior power quality package capable of meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation AI chipsets and liquid-cooled systems.” While Pioneer has not disclosed initial customers, deployment locations, or specific pricing, the company positions PRYMUS as a solution for data center operators—including those deploying modular, containerized, or AI-testing environments—who require immediate access to multi-megawatt power without the delays of conventional infrastructure builds. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in New Jersey, Pioneer Power Solutions' existing portfolio includes specialized switchgear and control systems for mission-critical power management. The introduction of PRYMUS signals a growing trend toward mobile, flexible power solutions within the data center industry, offering a potential pathway to alleviate grid constraints and support the rapid expansion of compute-intensive applications.
