Power equipment opportunities HIGH CONFIDENCE Hyperscale AI

Inferred gen-set demand for this project. Headline rollup is shown publicly; the per-unit equipment class, operator-practice library citations, and the full methodology trail are in the operator console.

Backup gen-sets (estimated)
Diesel/dual-fuel packaged gen-sets (2.5 MW class — Cat 3516E, MTU 4000, Cummins QSK)
827
Roughly 2068 MW of packaged backup capacity across 827 units. Estimated package value: $827M – $1448M at $400–$700/kW installed.
Sizing rationale: Tier 3/4 hyperscale: ~100% of IT load in 2.5 MW packages, N+1.
Procurement window
Typically 18–24 months before in-service
2025-05 → 2025-11
Based on AESO in-service date 2027-05-01. RFQs typically issue inside this window.
Operator practice (curated)
Match: "pembina"
Pembina/Kineticor JV (Greenlight) uses utility-scale combined-cycle gas turbines. Heavy-frame, EPC-direct from GE/Siemens/Mitsubishi — not packager territory.
