ATLANTA (July 22, 2025) – GE Vernova and Crusoe have announced a major agreement to supply 29 LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbine units to support the rapidly expanding energy demands of AI-driven data centers.

The latest order—19 units secured in June 2025—builds on an earlier purchase of 10 units in December 2024. Together, the full deployment is expected to deliver close to 1 gigawatt of generating capacity. The deal underscores GE Vernova’s role in delivering scalable, high-efficiency power solutions for energy-intensive digital infrastructure.

Crusoe’s leadership emphasized the urgency of reliable power in the AI sector. The company is pursuing an “energy-first” strategy, constructing and operating power generation assets alongside its data centers to accelerate deployment timelines. GE Vernova’s turbine technology was selected for its flexibility, efficiency, and rapid installation capabilities, enabling faster energization of large-scale AI facilities.

The LM2500XPRESS units are designed for high responsiveness, similar to jet engine performance, allowing them to ramp output up or down quickly depending on demand. To further reduce environmental impact, each unit will incorporate Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, which significantly lower nitrogen oxide emissions by converting them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This results in emissions levels substantially below those of traditional gas or diesel engine technologies.

According to GE Vernova’s commercial leadership, the project highlights the company’s ability to deliver power solutions across a wide range of scales—from single aeroderivative units producing approximately 35 MW to large multi-unit installations, as well as heavy-duty gas turbines and emerging nuclear technologies.

LM2500XPRESS Technology Overview

The LM2500XPRESS platform is engineered for rapid deployment, with approximately 95% of the system pre-assembled into modular components at the factory. Each unit integrates an LM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine, a gas compressor, and a complete emissions control system.

Key technical characteristics include:

• Output of roughly 35 MW per unit
• Dual-fuel capability for operational flexibility
• High power density and reliability in both primary and backup roles
• Reduced infrastructure requirements, lowering land use and balance-of-plant costs
• Fast-start capability, reaching full operation in about five minutes
• Ability to operate independently of the grid when required

This combination of modularity, efficiency, and operational agility makes the LM2500XPRESS particularly well-suited for data center environments where uptime, scalability, and speed of deployment are critical.
