Hyperscale campuses and frontier industrial sites share one requirement: power that does not stop. Whether the load is a data hall or a processing plant, the power station has to be engineered, built and run as one system.
EPC scope for hyperscale and frontier stations
Engineering
Load studies, redundancy design, protection and controls for island or grid-tied operation.
Procurement
Turbines, engines, switchgear, transformers and fuel systems, verified and documented.
Construction
Site management, QA/QC and fast-track methods for remote locations.
Commissioning
Load-bank, protection and performance testing against your SLA.
O&M after COD: availability is the product
Round-the-clock operations, planned maintenance, condition monitoring, spares and training keep the plant performing. Remote performance monitoring gives you, your customers and your lenders a clear view of availability. Read more about USP&E O&M.
Inventory now, modular growth later
Start with verified equipment from USP&E inventory to energise your first phase quickly, then add standard blocks as demand grows. One team owns both phases, so the bridge plant and the long-term fleet are designed together.
How to evaluate an EPC and O&M partner
- Ask for completed projects of similar scale and duty.
- Check certifications and compliance policies.
- Confirm who owns performance after COD.
- Review how used or surplus equipment is verified.
- Meet the engineers who will run your project.
Proof from recent work
Data centres · USA
Major US hyperscale developers
USP&E refurbished 7 GE Frame 6Bs to zero hours in-house for major US hyperscale developers.
Gas turbines · Saudi Arabia
NEOM
USP&E supplied three zero-hour Siemens SGT-400 gas turbines.
Mining · Mali
Barrick Gold, Loulo-Gounkoto
USP&E refurbished the 104 MW power station, rebuilding more than 80 MW of Caterpillar CM32 engines and adding new zero-hour capacity.
Plan your growth phase with FX-45
If your load will grow in phases, plan the later blocks now. FX-45 is USP&E’s new modular gas turbine, built for hyperscale and industrial growth: 45 MW in open cycle and 108 MW in a 2×1 combined-cycle block, configurable for 50 Hz or 60 Hz, with capacity slots from 2028.
Start on available equipment today, reserve the pad, interconnection and fuel capacity, and the FX-45 phase plugs in instead of starting over. See FX-45 at a glance.
Why owners choose USP&E
USP&E is a full-service engineering, EPC and O&M company, not a broker. One team designs, builds and runs your plant, so nothing falls between contracts.
Common questions
What does hyperscale power station EPC and O&M mean in Africa?
Designing, building and operating on-site power for large data campuses or industrial sites, as one contract, so availability is owned by one team.
Can used and new turbines sit in the same EPC contract?
Yes. Many projects start on verified available units and add new blocks later, all under one EPC and O&M programme.
Where do we start?
Share your load ramp, redundancy target, site and fuel with a USP&E engineer.
