"This agreement reflects the growing need for flexible power generation technologies; together, our gas turbines and generator technologies will help customers bring new capacity online faster to support the continued buildout of critical digital and energy infrastructure."
The multi-year rolling agreement provides flexibility to align capacity commitments with evolving data center demand and phased project development schedules. Through the agreement, Kodiak expects to leverage Baker Hughes' power generation portfolio to support both existing operations and future growth opportunities. The framework is designed to foster closer commercial and technical collaboration between the companies, streamline project execution and reduce lead times for critical power infrastructure deployments.
