You need a power station that is engineered for compute loads, built on a schedule that matches your buildings, and operated by people who answer for uptime after handover.
A Single Team From Design to Daily Operation
We know hyperscale buyers care about two things above all: energisation date and availability. USP&E engineers gas turbine power stations, builds them and then runs them under one contract. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker.
What Hyperscale EPC Includes
EPC for a hyperscale power station covers engineering, procurement and construction of the whole plant: gas turbines, fuel gas reception and conditioning, generator step-up transformers, medium-voltage switchgear, protection, controls and the interface with the campus distribution system. Each package is specified against the data centre’s redundancy model so that the station supports the tier you promised your tenants.
USP&E draws on new and used gas turbines from inventory, including remanufactured GE Frame 6B units and aeroderivative packages, so the schedule is not tied to a single OEM queue. Developers comparing equipment families can also look at new gas turbine generators and packages to see how package choices affect footprint and ramp rate.
Why O&M Matters as Much as Construction
A hyperscale plant is judged on availability month after month, not on the day it is commissioned. USP&E’s O&M teams run planned maintenance, condition monitoring, spares management and operator training so that outages are planned, short and rare. Performance data is tracked from day one, giving you evidence for tenants and lenders.
Keeping EPC and O&M with the same company closes the gap that often appears at handover. The people who commissioned the plant know its settings, its weak points and its history, which shortens fault-finding and keeps warranty conversations simple.
Planning for Growth Beyond Phase One
Most campuses are built in phases, so the power station must be too. USP&E lays out early phases with space, fuel capacity and electrical provisions for later blocks. Bridge units can carry the first halls while permanent capacity, including the New USP&E FX-45 45MW Modular Gas Turbine for the Hyperscale Data Center sector in the USA, follows in 2028 to 2030 slots.
Developers who also need standby and backup systems can review gas turbines for data center primary power for the campus side of the design, so prime power and backup are engineered to work together rather than as separate projects.
USP&E Offices for Hyperscale Power Projects
For hyperscale power station EPC and O&M in North America, your first conversations usually run through Knoxville (800 S Gay St, Suite 700), with Colorado Springs (1755 Telstar Dr, Suite 300) adding engineering depth. Hyperscale teams usually meet our engineers in Colorado Springs or Knoxville first, then bring in London when financing structures need support. Behind them, Wuxi (No. 1, Ningzhou Road, Wuxi) manages fabrication and supply chain, London (162-168 Regent Street) helps with commercial structuring, and the Johannesburg (22 Kildoon Rd, Bryanston) and Cape Town (31 Brickfield Road, Woodstock) teams bring frontier execution experience. USA | AFRICA | UK | UAE | CHINA. Behind that footprint sit 150+ power projects in 45+ countries, 25,000 MW contracted since 2002, and ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified management systems.
Track Record Behind Hyperscale Power
You are trusting a contractor with your campus energisation date. Here is the work that supports that trust.
- USP&E has refurbished seven GE Frame 6B gas turbines to zero hours in-house for major US hyperscale data-centre developers.
- NEOM, Saudi Arabia: USP&E supplied three zero-hour Siemens SGT-400 gas turbines. Read the case study.
- Kinross Gold, Mauritania: USP&E engineered and executed Caterpillar power station backup for a large-scale mining operation. Read the case study.
Your Plan
Your 3-step plan: 1. Share campus load, phasing and site data. 2. Agree a station design, equipment pathway and schedule. 3. Sign one EPC and O&M contract and track progress to energisation.
- Map IT load, redundancy level and phase dates.
- Confirm gas supply, permitting route and grid status.
- Select turbines from inventory or reserved slots.
- Build, test and commission against the campus schedule.
- Operate, maintain and report availability each month.

FAQ: Power stations EPC and O&M for hyperscale
What does hyperscale power station EPC cover?
USP&E’s hyperscale EPC covers engineering, procurement and construction of the complete on-site power station, including gas turbines, fuel gas systems, transformers, switchgear, protection and controls. The scope ends with a tested, commissioned plant integrated with your campus distribution, not a pile of equipment waiting for another contractor.
Why combine EPC and O&M under one contract?
USP&E combines them because availability depends on how a plant is built and how it is run. One contract removes handover gaps, keeps the commissioning team’s knowledge on site, and gives you a single company accountable for performance rather than separate firms blaming each other.
Which turbines does USP&E use for hyperscale plants?
USP&E selects turbines from its inventory of new and used gas turbines, including remanufactured GE Frame 6B units and aeroderivative packages, based on your load and schedule. The new FX-45 is offered for later phases with capacity slots from 2028 to 2030.
Has USP&E delivered for hyperscale developers?
Yes. USP&E has refurbished seven GE Frame 6B gas turbines to zero hours in-house for major US hyperscale data-centre developers. Across all sectors the company has delivered 150+ power projects in 45+ countries, with 25,000 MW contracted since 2002.
Is USP&E an equipment broker?
No. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker. Our engineers design, build, commission and operate the plants we deliver, and we remain responsible for the result after the equipment is installed and running.
Where are USP&E’s hyperscale teams based?
USP&E’s US hyperscale work is led from Colorado Springs and Knoxville. London supports structuring and finance, Johannesburg and Cape Town provide delivery depth from African projects, and Wuxi supports China supply chain and fabrication for station components.
How fast can USP&E start a hyperscale project?
USP&E starts with a scoping review as soon as you share load, phasing and site information. An engineer replies with questions and an outline pathway, and equipment from inventory can shorten the schedule compared with waiting for a new-build production slot.
Can the power station support future campus phases?
USP&E plans each station for growth, leaving room for additional turbine blocks, fuel capacity and electrical connections. Later phases can use further inventory units or the new FX-45, so the first phase never becomes a dead end as your campus expands.
