Company Description (Source)
We are a vertically integrated company that designs, deploys, operates and
maintains multi-purpose distributed power systems, consisting of our
proprietary, low emission, quick-response natural gas generator and embedded
software technology, for our customers. Our resilient, cost-effective, modular
power systems can be rapidly deployed at a scale of more than 1 GW to meet our
customers’ full range of power needs, including bridge, backup and dispatchable
power applications, and are supported by our operations and maintenance (“O&M”)
and asset management services. We deploy our systems in three applications:
bridge (prime-to-backup), backup (resiliency) and dispatchable (flexible
capacity) power.
• Bridge power (prime-to-backup). Our power systems deliver prime power in the
near-term to accelerate time-to-power ahead of long-lead grid upgrades, which
prevent our customers from getting grid power. Once interconnection becomes
available, the same assets typically transition to backup or flexible dispatch
power service to support the customer or utility.
• Backup power (resiliency). Our power systems provide highly reliable
continuity for mission-critical operations during grid disruptions and extreme
weather events, and many of our existing deployments operate in this mode
today.
• Dispatchable power (flexible capacity). Our power systems are configured as
on-demand, fast-response resources and can be deployed by contract to
market-facing objectives (such as peak-load management or grid-stability
services).
We primarily serve data centers, utilities and large C&I businesses across nine
U.S. states, with our largest operating footprints located in California and
Texas, where we anticipate disproportionate growth and market potential driven
by high data center demand in the near- and medium-term. With over 15 years of
operational experience, over 2,000 deployed units across approximately 400
operational sites consisting of an installed base of approximately 1,000 MW and
Contracted Power System Sales Backlog of approximately $1.3 billion as of March
31, 2026, we believe we are one of the most established, proven providers of
bridge, backup and dispatchable power applications for the growing distributed
power generation market.

Over the last 15 years, we have established deep expertise and a proven track
record in the deployment of complex integrated power systems through our ERock
Platform. We refer to the delivery and operation of our generators and
integrated software technology through our comprehensive, turnkey equipment,
supply and installation (“ESI”), O&M and asset management services platform,
supported by our deep development, operational and market domain expertise in
integrated power systems, as our “ERock Platform.”
---
Most of our sales include the comprehensive design, delivery, installation and
long-term services provided by the ERock Platform, with platform sales
representing 100% and 98% of all generator sales booked in 2024 and 2025
respectively. Leveraging our ERock Platform, we help customers meet evolving
energy demands by delivering cost-effective, turnkey speed-to-power and
resiliency solutions that supplement and maximize traditional grid
infrastructure. Our power systems are engineered for superior operational
stability, including:
• Reliability. Our systems are capable of 99.999% reliability.
• Diesel-equivalent transient performance. Our generators meet or exceed
rigorous ISO 8528-5 G3 diesel standards, delivering fast, stable responses to
sudden load swings, and we believe we are currently the only provider of
natural gas generation that meets utility-grade transient performance
requirements for diesel units, which reduces the need for additional
technology to deliver required power quality.
• Quieter, cleaner and rapidly deployed. Our power systems are typically
quieter, cleaner, more resilient and dispatchable, and can be deployed and
commissioned more rapidly than traditional grid infrastructure and other
conventional alternatives.
• No on-site water required. As water use by data centers is receiving
increasing scrutiny, our power systems are designed to operate with no on-site
water required.
Our experienced O&M teams handle all aspects of preventive and corrective
maintenance, and our purpose-built software that is embedded in our power
systems provides extensive operational data capture and analytical capabilities,
enabling greater resilience of generator technology and dynamic, insight-driven
maintenance schedules. These performance attributes and our expertise in
developing, deploying and maintaining integrated power systems differentiate us
from our competitors and support our strong customer relationships, which is
evidenced by our proven track record of delivering reliable, integrated power
solutions.
---
Once connected to the grid, we also assist customers to maximize the return on
their investment in our power systems by leveraging its multi-purpose
dispatchable power capabilities through our market operations and dispatch
management platform, acting as advisor or agent for owners of our deployed power
systems of 761 MW. These services allow customers to utilize our power systems
for backup power as and when needed or to strategically dispatch capacity from
our power systems during peak demand or scarcity events—ultimately enabling our
power systems to become a grid asset. Our asset optimization capabilities and
market expertise enable us to monetize our power systems capacity, reduce costs
to customers in almost any market and reduce times to grid interconnection. Our
distributed power systems have consistently operated in support of the grid.
Over the past eight years, we have supported over 236,000 Grid Support Events.
Each event represents a documented start and stop of our distributed generation
systems undertaken to provide power to the grid during periods of actual or
anticipated grid constraints, either in response to a direct request from the
grid operator or pursuant to incentive based programs, such as scarcity pricing
or peak demand load shed programs, that compensate generators for providing such
support. Under our O&M and asset management services agreements, customers
authorize us to dispatch and operate the power systems during Grid Support
Events when their operations do not require dedicated output from our power
systems. When the grid is down, our power systems can displace grid supply
(i.e., island the customer’s load from the grid) and provide utility-grade power
directly to the customer; when the grid is operating normally, our power systems
remain interconnected and operate in parallel with the grid, enabling us to
deliver grid-supporting services. During Grid Support Events, when customer
operations allow, we can provide the available capacity of our power systems
through both offsetting the customer’s load consumption and exporting any
additional available capacity to the grid in exchange for program based
compensation or other incentives that benefit our customers. We believe this
operational experience is increasingly valuable as grid operators seek
alternative tools to address resource adequacy and congestion management for
large loads. Power outage responses and power quality operations are separate
from, and in addition to, these Grid Support Events.
We assemble our proprietary engines and generators at our Titan facility and are
targeting increasing our annual assembly capacity to approximately 1.2 GW by the
end of 2026 with the development of our Hyperion facility, both located in
Houston, Texas. Our assembly model is designed to scale efficiently and rapidly
to meet growing customer demand and service our backlog, leveraging a
high-volume, largely multi-sourced supply chain and standardized assembly
processes. This approach allows us to expand output without the need for
extensive new capital investment or specialized equipment, enabling low-cost,
high-velocity capacity expansion while maintaining assembly flexibility and
supply-chain security. As we increase capacity to meet accelerating demand, we
are able to produce and deploy additional power systems while maintaining strong
control over our supply chain, costs, efficiency and product quality, which
supports higher margins. In addition, growing our generator deployment also
accelerates our innovation cycle as the real-world operating data of our power
systems in the field informs improvements to our design, development and
installation processes. We believe this feedback loop, enabled by our vertically
integrated business model and scalable assembly capabilities, helps drive a
faster innovation cycle, supports reliable execution at scale and differentiates
us from our competitors with more capital-intensive or less flexible assembly
models. For example, insights from field installations have allowed us to
pre-configure and kit key generator components in our production process,
reducing installation costs by 20% and creating a continuous improvement cycle
between engineering, production and field operations.
Over the past decade, we have built a foundation of deep trust and relationships
with leading data center and AI ecosystem companies, such as Microsoft, Wistron
and Foxconn, electric and gas utilities, such as Entergy and ComEd, and C&I
customers, such as H-E-B and Walmart, with approximately 50 customers in those
end markets, establishing ourselves as a critical link where speed-to-power,
reliability, flexibility and scale converge in our customers’ power ecosystem.
Leveraging our position as a trusted provider, we are seeking to grow our
business and strengthen our financial and operating performance.
