Arbor, GridMarket Ink 5-GW Zero Emission Power Deal for Data Centers
Arbor Energy has entered into an agreement with GridMarket to deliver up to five gigawatts of zero-emission power beginning in 2029, targeting surging demand from data centers, manufacturers and logistics operators.
GridMarket, which helps large energy users secure reliable and cost-effective electricity, will work with Arbor to deploy modular generation capacity designed for faster timelines than traditional power projects.
“Power availability is quickly becoming the gating factor for data center and industrial development,” said Nick Davis, CEO of GridMarket. “Our customers are increasingly looking for ways to secure new capacity faster than traditional generation timelines allow.”
At the center of the strategy is Arbor’s 25-megawatt HALCYON turbine, a pre-assembled, 3D-printed system engineered to reduce manufacturing complexity and accelerate deployment. The modular units can be deployed individually or scaled into larger plants, while a fuel-flexible design enables zero-emission natural gas today with a pathway to negative emissions over time.
Arbor expects to ramp production significantly, targeting more than 100 turbine shipments annually by 2030—equivalent to over 1 gigawatt of new capacity each year.
The company also named Nishad Pai as Chief Commercial Officer, tasking him with expanding Arbor’s commercial pipeline ahead of HALCYON’s rollout.
