New Delhi: BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE: BWA) announced it has signed a Master Supply Agreement with TurboCell, a subsidiary of full stack data center infrastructure developer Endeavour, to supply a highly modular turbine generator system. BorgWarner expects the product to be a transformative power generation solution for the next wave of artificial intelligence driven data center demand and other microgrid applications. BorgWarner believes this solution addresses the growing demand for high power alternatives to traditional power generation. The turbine generator system is expected to be deployed to support AI campuses at gigawatt scale.
BorgWarner has worked with TurboCell for more than three years to bring the turbine generator system to market. The product will offer adaptability for diverse applications, including backup and prime power, advanced controls and dynamic response to manage power transients and grid peaks. It is also expected to meet future CARB emission environmental standards, or stricter emission levels, and allow for flexible fuel types including natural gas, propane, diesel and hydrogen. This exciting new technology leverages BorgWarner’s many core competencies, including its world class turbocharging, thermal management, power electronics, advanced software controls and high-speed rotating electric capabilities. BorgWarner expects to leverage its robust automotive supply base and world class manufacturing capabilities to maximize vertical integration by controlling approximately 65% of the turbine generator system content.
“We believe this product innovation is a powerful representation of the BorgWarner team proactively identifying and seizing growth opportunities,” said Joseph Fadool, President and CEO, BorgWarner. “With capabilities that we expect will address the power quality and energy needs of the data center market across hyperscalers and colocators, as well as other microgrid applications, we anticipate that the turbine generator system will open avenues for further profitable growth. We believe this solution provides many advantages to conventional power solutions, including superior transient response and fuel flexibility as well as a lower emissions footprint, while meeting the behind the meter power market demands of both bridging power and backup power. We look forward to partnering with TurboCell to deliver a solution that we expect will drive growth and support our vision of a clean, energy-efficient world.”
“Our partnership with BorgWarner has been incredibly rewarding, and we are excited to combine Endeavour’s cutting-edge innovation with BorgWarner’s automotive scale engineering and manufacturing execution,” said Jakob Carnemark, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Endeavour. “We developed the TurboCell system to supply the dynamic, demand-responsive power required to accelerate AI infrastructure development. With BorgWarner’s global supply chain and proven technical capabilities, we look forward to providing the next generation of on-site power required to unlock the full potential of AI computers.”
The Company expects production to begin in Hendersonville, North Carolina, in 2027, with an initial 2 GW of capacity installed.
TurboCell is available exclusively through Endeavour’s Edged Infrastructure solutions division.
