Conduit Power, Gruppo AB Form Strategic Partnership to Supply Power to Datacenters and Grid

Conduit Power and Gruppo AB have formed a strategic partnership to supply best-in-class power to datacenters and the grid. Conduit will be the main supplier for the Power Projects in its portfolio, with Gruppo AB providing dedicated engines and integration capacity. The partnership aims to address the grid's critical shortage of dispatchable power and offer reliable, sustainable, and efficient energy solutions. Conduit's hybrid gas plus battery power solution for datacenters emphasizes reliability, speed-to-market, and sustainability.

Houston, TX - July 2, 2025 - Conduit Power, LLC (“Conduit”), an independent power producer and leading provider of distributed power solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Gruppo AB (“AB”), a prominent global provider of power generation solutions. The collaboration aims to address the critical shortage of dispatchable power in the grid and offer reliable, sustainable, and efficient energy solutions [1].

Under the agreement, Conduit will be the main supplier for the Power Projects in its portfolio, while Gruppo AB will provide dedicated engines and integration capacity. The partnership is designed to meet the growing demand for power, particularly in the rapidly expanding datacenter sector [1].

Conduit and Gruppo AB have jointly developed a unique hybrid gas plus battery power solution for datacenters. This solution emphasizes reliability, speed-to-market, and sustainability. The 50MW blocks can be combined to match the unique power needs of each project, enabling partners to power their operations in as little as 18 months instead of waiting several years for new grid interconnect requests [1].

The partnership highlights the increasing demand for clean and reliable power sources to support the growth of data centers, which are essential for artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Conduit's ability to innovate and execute, along with Gruppo AB's expertise in power generation, positions them as strong contenders in this market [1].

This strategic collaboration represents a significant step for both companies. Conduit, established in 2022, has quickly expanded its portfolio to deliver reliable energy directly to the grid, strengthening its stability and resilience. Gruppo AB, founded in 1981, has a longstanding and strategic partnership with Jenbacher (INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co. OG), an Austrian manufacturer specializing in gas engines and cogeneration modules [1].

The deal is part of a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies like Google are making significant investments in clean energy to power their data centers. Google, for instance, has agreed to secure as much as 3 gigawatts of U.S. hydropower in the world’s largest corporate clean power pact for hydroelectricity [2].
