Working with Mission Critical Group and Jenbacher on Utah project The company’ s approach requires partners with expertise across multiple technical verticals. Rhea describes how E3 evaluated different technologies and original equipment manufacturers before selecting partners for its Utah project.
“ Jenbacher’ s been a tremendous partner,” Rhea says.“ We looked at different technologies and different OEMs, and what the timelines were, what the costs were, and what their team’ s availability was, and Jenbacher, by far and away, has become and shown up as the best partner, the most supportive of what we’ re doing.”
The partnership with Jenbacher includes a teaming agreement with guaranteed delivery dates and fixed costs. The company selected Jenbacher’ s reciprocating engines based on efficiency considerations for the Utah site’ s high altitude and low humidity conditions.
“ They’ ve also worked with us from an architecture and engineering standpoint on their side, have been looking at the load variants and how to best support these AI loads, and we feel like we’ ve chosen the product of theirs that’ s going to support that the best,” Rhea says.
Mission Critical Group serves as the systems integrator for the project.
