EPC & O&M for Data Center Generators

USP&E delivers exclusive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction plus Operations & Maintenance for hyperscale and industrial data center power plants. From modular FX-45 blocks to surplus aeroderivative fleets and reciprocating generation, we own the outcome — Powering Projects with Reliability that unlocks Possibility.

Extreme Ownership, End to End

Fragmented delivery is the enemy of speed-to-power. Separate turbine brokers, civil contractors, electrical houses, and O&M startups create interface gaps that show up as change orders and missed COD dates. USP&E’s model is Extreme Ownership: one accountable organization for design, buy, build, commission, and operate.

Our 400+ engineers and project managers work from Shanghai, Dubai, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Cairo, Bamako, London, USP&E, and Knoxville. That footprint exists so local codes, logistics, and labor realities are handled by people who already operate in those environments — while global standards keep documentation and QA consistent.

Engineering

We start with load truth: IT MW, cooling, redundancy (N+1, 2N), island vs parallel grid, and fuel certainty. Deliverables typically include single-line diagrams, protection studies, site layouts, P&IDs for fuel and cooling, civil packages, and controls architecture. For FX-45 and other modular packages, engineering focuses on repeatable blocks so later phases reuse proven drawings.

• Power system studies and utility coordination support
• Fuel gas and dual-fuel system design
• Balance of plant mechanical and electrical
• Environmental and acoustic inputs for permitting teams

Procurement

USP&E accesses 2000 MW+ of new and surplus gas turbines and reciprocating generators through owned positions, exclusive representation, and direct owner relationships. Procurement is not catalog shopping; it is securing the right machine class for frequency, voltage, fuel, and schedule — then locking BOP long-leads (transformers, switchgear, fuel conditioning) on the same critical path.

Near-term projects pull from live inventory. Growth phases can reserve FX-45 modular slots from 2028. Mixing both is often the fastest path to a fully powered campus.

Construction & Commissioning

Construction covers foundations, mechanical set, electrical termination, fuel tie-ins, fire protection interfaces, and SCADA. Commissioning follows a disciplined sequence: cold checks, first fire, load acceptance, protection proving, and reliability runs. Speed with Excellence means we compress calendars without skipping hold points that protect equipment life and operator safety.

Operations & Maintenance

Data center generators only create value if they stay available. USP&E O&M ranges from full 24/7 staffing to maintenance-only support where the client operates day-to-day. Typical elements include preventive schedules, predictive diagnostics, spare parts strategy, fuel switching drills, and monthly performance reporting.

• Availability-oriented contracts aligned to campus uptime culture
• Remote monitoring with defined on-site response
• Hot section and major outage planning across multi-unit fleets
• Training so client operators inherit Extreme Ownership habits

Commercial Models

• Turnkey EPC: client-owned asset, USP&E delivers to COD
• BOO / BOOT with PPA: USP&E finances and operates; campus buys power
• Hybrid: client owns; USP&E provides long-term O&M

Structure follows capital preference, balance-sheet goals, and energization date — not a one-size template.
