Baker Hughes announced an award to supply 25 BRUSH Power Generation electric generators along with Automatic Voltage Regulators and cubicles to Boom Supersonic. These specialized generators will be paired with Boom's 42 megawatt Superpower natural gas turbines to deliver electricity for advanced AI data centers. This builds on a prior agreement signed in 2025 for six generators. Together the units will collectively deliver 1.21 gigawatts of onsite electricity capacity for Boom's anchor customer Crusoe. Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said the collaboration illustrates how the company's power systems capabilities are addressing the energy needs of the data center industry. Pairing the generator technology with the turbine application enables efficient and dependable power solutions for the distributed power generation needs of artificial intelligence and high performance computing. Boom CEO Blake Scholl said the company is bringing a new category of scalable onsite power to market so that the growth of artificial intelligence is no longer constrained by the grid. The collaboration with Baker Hughes pairs the supersonic turbine with proven generators to provide reliable power for customers. BRUSH Power Generation DAX generators are two-pole air-cooled units renowned for their high efficiency, flexibility and lower total cost of ownership. The units have a proven track record from over 3500 active installations worldwide. Boom has now placed firm orders for 31 generators totaling 1.3 gigawatts with deliveries starting mid 2026 through 2028.
