Caterpillar and Hunt Energy Partner on Data Center Power Solutions.

Caterpillar and Hunt Energy have partnered to develop power solutions for data centers. The collaboration aims to meet the increasing energy demands of data centers using Caterpillar's natural gas power portfolio and Hunt Energy's expertise in the field. The partnership will create a long-term strategic agreement for the two companies.

Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) and Hunt Energy Company, L.P. have entered into a long-term strategic agreement to develop power solutions for data centers, addressing the growing energy demands in the sector. The partnership, announced on [current date], aims to combine Caterpillar's extensive experience in power systems with Hunt Energy's expertise in infrastructure development and battery energy storage solutions.

The collaboration targets up to 1GW of power generation capacity across North America, with an initial focus on Texas. Caterpillar will provide a diverse range of power generation equipment, including natural gas and diesel generators, gas turbines, and advanced monitoring services. Hunt Energy, with its deployment of over 310 MWs of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in recent years, will leverage its infrastructure development capabilities and project financing expertise [1].

The partnership offers data centers flexible power arrangements, capable of operating independently of grid constraints. This move comes at a strategic time, considering the increasing demand for reliable power solutions due to the pressures from the AI computing boom and strained electrical grids [1].

By aligning their combined 190 years of industry expertise, Caterpillar and Hunt Energy are positioned to tackle the growing electricity demand and infrastructure challenges faced by data centers, paving the way for potential global expansion beyond North America [1].
