Capacity planning and customer demand, M&A and capacity acquisition strategy, data center market share and demand, capacity and demand dynamics, partnership strategy and asset development are the key contradictions discussed in Solaris Energy Infrastructure's latest 2025Q2 earnings call.



Power Solutions Growth:
- Solaris Energy Infrastructure reported 600 megawatts of capacity working in the second quarter, an increase of over 50% from the previous quarter.
- This growth was driven by increased demand from customers and new equipment deliveries, as well as strategic acquisitions like Mobile Energy Rentals.

Profitability and Earnings:
- Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $61 million, representing a 29% increase from the prior quarter.
- The company's Power Solutions segment contributed 67% of total segment adjusted EBITDA, highlighting the success of their strategic focus on this area.

Logistics Solutions Efficiency:
- The Logistics Solutions segment averaged 94 fully utilized systems, though it is expected to decline by 10-15% in the third quarter due to oil price softness.
- The decline in market activity is offset by improvements in frac efficiencies and increased equipment utilization per job.

Regulatory and Market Dynamics:
- Senate Bill 6 in Texas, requiring co-located generation for large demand loads, created new potential commercial opportunities for Solaris.
- The company benefits from recent regulatory clarity and increased demand due to factors like electrification-of-everything and AI power needs.
