BorgWarner Expands into Data Centers with Advanced Power Generation System
BorgWarner Inc. has signed a Master Supply Agreement with TurboCell, a subsidiary of data center infrastructure developer Endeavour, to deliver a modular turbine generator system. This move marks BorgWarner’s strategic entry into the rapidly growing data center power market.
The company expects the solution to support the next wave of AI-driven data centers and microgrid applications. Additionally, the turbine generator system aims to meet rising demand for high-power alternatives to traditional energy sources.
Built for AI-Scale Power Demand
BorgWarner collaborated with TurboCell for over three years to bring the system to market. The generator offers adaptability across multiple use cases, including backup and prime power.
Moreover, the system features advanced controls and dynamic response capabilities to manage grid peaks and power transients. It is also designed to comply with future CARB emissions standards or stricter environmental requirements.
The technology supports flexible fuel options such as natural gas, propane, diesel, and hydrogen. As a result, operators gain greater energy resilience while reducing emissions.
Leveraging Engineering and Manufacturing Strength
The turbine generator leverages BorgWarner’s expertise in turbocharging, thermal management, power electronics, advanced software controls, and high-speed electric systems. Furthermore, the company plans to utilize its global automotive supply chain to control about 65% of the system’s content, maximizing vertical integration.
Joseph Fadool, President and CEO of BorgWarner, said the innovation reflects the company’s proactive approach to capturing growth opportunities. He noted that the system addresses the energy needs of hyperscalers, colocators, and microgrid users while offering fuel flexibility, lower emissions, and strong transient performance.
Partnership to Accelerate AI Infrastructure
Jakob Carnemark, Founder and CEO of Endeavour, emphasized that the TurboCell system was developed to deliver dynamic, demand-responsive power required for accelerating AI infrastructure. He added that BorgWarner’s global supply chain and engineering scale will help provide next-generation on-site power solutions.
Production is expected to begin in Hendersonville, North Carolina, in 2027, with an initial installation capacity of 2 gigawatts. TurboCell will be available exclusively through Endeavour’s Edged Infrastructure solutions division.
As AI computing drives unprecedented energy demand, BorgWarner’s entry into the sector positions the company for long-term growth while supporting the transition toward cleaner, more efficient power solutions.
