“This project – says Stefano Gianatti, executive vice president thermal new units of Ansaldo Energia – highlights the increasingly important role of flexible gas-powered electricity generation in supporting the expansion of digital infrastructures for artificial intelligence. In a context where data center operators seek reliable and scalable solutions, Ansaldo’s technology portfolio is well positioned to ensure a secure, efficient, and reliable power supply for applications requiring maximum operational continuity. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and digital services is generating an unprecedented demand for continuously available energy, and the AE64.3A is particularly suited to meet the evolving needs of data center operators.” The agreement also paves the way “for possible further collaborations between the company and Pacifico Energy, in a data center market that continues to experience strong growth.”
