Baker Hughes has secured new orders for power generation and cooling equipment from an undisclosed US technology company. The deal includes Chart dry coolers, which are designed to support the high-density cooling requirements of AI-focused data centers.
The company reported $1 billion in data center power orders during the first quarter of 2026, matching the total revenue of its Power Systems business for the entire year of 2025. Baker Hughes has now increased its target for cumulative data center power orders for the 2025–2027 period to $3 billion.
Recent contracts include an order for 76 NovaLT16 turbines, totaling approximately 1.3 GW, booked during the second and third quarters of 2026 for Dynamis Power Solutions. Additionally, agreements with Kodiak Gas Services target a maximum of 1.8 GW of power supply.
On October 15, 2026, Baker Hughes announced a frame agreement with Venture Global and GE Vernova for up to 16 power islands. Deliveries for this project are scheduled between 2028 and 2034, supporting both LNG operations and potential data center infrastructure.
CEO Lorenzo Simonelli advocates for on-site, behind-the-meter power generation to bypass grid connection delays. This strategy allows the company to serve both its traditional LNG market and the growing demand for AI infrastructure simultaneously.
