Crusoe and Bergen Engines Sign ~750MW Power Deal to Fuel AI Data Center Expansion
Crusoe Energy Systems has entered into a significant power agreement with Bergen Engines, securing approximately 750 megawatts of electricity generation capacity to support its growing fleet of artificial intelligence data centers across the United States. The deal underscores the intensifying demand for reliable, large-scale energy resources as AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented growth in data center power consumption.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bergen Engines will supply natural gas-fired power generation equipment and services to Crusoe, enabling the company to deploy modular data center infrastructure at scale. The approximately 750MW capacity is designed to power multiple AI data center sites over the coming years, with deployment expected to begin in phases. Both companies emphasized that the partnership aligns with Crusoe’s broader strategy of utilizing stranded or otherwise wasted natural gas to generate electricity for high-performance computing, though the specific fuel sources for this agreement were not detailed in the announcement.
“This partnership with Bergen Engines marks a critical step in scaling our energy infrastructure to meet the demands of AI computing,” said a Crusoe spokesperson. “By combining their proven engine technology with our modular data center platform, we can deliver reliable power where it is needed most.” Bergen Engines, a unit of the UK-based Langley Holdings, noted that the agreement represents one of the largest engine-based power deals in the data center sector, highlighting the growing role of distributed generation in supporting hyperscale AI workloads.
Industry analysts view the deal as further evidence that the traditional utility grid alone cannot keep pace with the rapid expansion of AI data centers. Increasingly, operators are turning to on-site or near-site power generation, including natural gas engines and small modular reactors, to secure capacity quickly. The Crusoe-Bergen agreement also reflects a broader trend of oil and gas industry players pivoting to serve the digital economy, as the line between energy infrastructure and data center infrastructure continues to blur.
