GPC's Mission

GPC Infrastructure was formed by energy veterans to provide data centers with a long term alternative to a utility grid interconnection.  

 

We are a long term power partner for data centers.  By applying proven technology and best practices from the natural gas, industrial cogeneration, and independent power generation sectors, we provide data centers with on-site energy as a service that can scale from 100 MW to 1 GW.  

​Backed by energy capital, we design, build, own, and operate the power facility. We manage all commodity price risk including the physical sourcing of natural gas.  The customer purchases power, and if desired, cooling from GPC under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), which also provides options for carbon neutrality.  ​ 

​

Each power solution is customized to meet the specific needs of the data center. We start by working with the customer to identify a suitable site. This can be at an existing site, a location within a data center's own land bank, or from GPC's portfolio of greenfield sites secured in partnership with land developers.

 

We offer multiple options to energize a data campus:

1) Stand-alone generation; 2) Baseload generation with a supplemental grid connect; or 3) Bridge power solution with the option to convert to back-up.  Configuration options include simple cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration with waste heat capture for cooling via absorption chillers, achieving all-in energy efficiencies of 85%+.  The customer has the option to add capacity and /or switch to more efficient power configurations over time, balancing speed to market with cost and sustainability. â€‹ ​

Coupled with an operating guarantee that meets or exceeds grid reliability, we offer data centers speed to market and an "easy button" for procuring power.

GPC Solutions

GPC offers a full spectrum of tailored onsite natural gas powered solutions for data centers to energize quickly.  We work with data center land banks to evaluate sites for onsite generation and partner with land developers to identify sites suitable for data center and power co-development.  By owning and operating on-site generation to provide energy as a service, our mission is to give control back to the data center operator to address their power needs.

Sustainable Power Solutions

GPC provides sustainable and reliable energy to data centers.

99.999%

Aeroderivative turbines have been used in commercial aircraft for the past 75 years and have five nine (>99.999%) reliability in an N+1 configuration. By comparison grid reliability averages 99.95% but can be much lower in constrained areas.

85%

Natural gas co-generation with waste heat captured for cooling can achieve over 85% energy efficiency. By comparison, average grid efficiency is 33% after accounting for transmission and distribution losses

0%

Natural gas generation can become net carbon neutral by blending biogas, hydrogen, sequestering emissions, or purchasing hourly RECs. By comparison the average amount of CO2 produced by the grid is 823 lbs/MWh, with some states more than double that amount.
