Prometheus and Conduit Partner on Hybrid Power for Texas Hyperscale Data Centers

By Editorial Dept - Sep 05, 2025

Prometheus Hyperscale has partnered with Conduit Power to deliver hybrid bridge and backup power solutions for next-generation data centers co-located at ENGIE’s carbon-free facilities in Texas.

The collaboration aims to support the rapid buildout of AI-ready hyperscale infrastructure by combining Conduit’s hybrid natural gas-plus-battery systems—developed with Gruppo AB—with Prometheus’ liquid-cooled, sustainable data center designs. The model prioritizes reliability, low-carbon power, and speed-to-market, addressing one of the sector’s biggest challenges: securing clean and resilient energy at scale.

The first two Texas projects will each support up to 300 MW of computing capacity, with the initial facility slated to come online in 2026 and further sites planned for 2027 and beyond.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to building the infrastructure AI needs—fast, clean, and at scale,” said Prometheus CEO Trenton Thornock. Conduit CEO Matt Herpich emphasized that extending proven low-carbon power systems into data centers would allow operators to grow “with speed, confidence, and sustainability.”

The deal highlights the growing convergence between the energy and digital infrastructure sectors. Hyperscale data centers—particularly those serving AI workloads—require enormous amounts of reliable electricity. By leveraging hybrid power systems and co-location with ENGIE’s renewable assets, Prometheus and Conduit aim to reduce both carbon intensity and project execution risks.

Conduit, backed by Grey Rock Investment Partners, specializes in distributed natural gas and battery generation. Prometheus, meanwhile, is developing liquid-cooled data centers using proprietary geothermal technology designed to eliminate water use, setting new sustainability benchmarks for the sector.

The Texas builds underscore the state’s emergence as a hotspot for both renewable energy and hyperscale development, as operators seek to align AI-driven demand with secure, low-carbon power sources.
