Two North Texas power players are teaming up to build out a new generation of energy infrastructure for data centers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Irving-based Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) and Dallas-based Hunt Energy have signed a long-term strategic agreement focused on delivering efficient, independent energy production to meet the demands of hyperscale and distributed data operations, Caterpillar announced this week.<\/p>\n

Their first project\u2014expected to launch in Texas\u2014will kick off a multi-year plan to deploy up to 1 gigawatt of generation capacity across North America. The companies say the initiative lays the groundwork for future global expansion.<\/p>\n

Melissa Busen, senior vice president of Caterpillar\u2019s Electric Power division, said Hunt\u2019s infrastructure experience complements Caterpillar\u2019s power systems portfolio.<\/p>\n

In a statement, she said the two companies plan to \u201cjointly develop scalable solutions that meet the high demands of reliability, uptime, and performance critical to data center operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caterpillar, which reported $64.8 billion in 2024 sales and revenue, said it will supply a full range of power technologies\u2014including natural gas and diesel generators, gas turbines, switchgear, controls, aftertreatment systems, and engineering services. The company also pointed to its advanced monitoring and servicing capabilities, designed to ensure uninterrupted power whether connected to the grid or running independently.<\/p>\n

Hunt will lead development, financing, and execution for the projects. The company also brings experience in battery energy storage systems (BESS), having deployed more than 310 megawatts of BESS solutions over the past four years.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1934, Hunt is a private, family-owned company with more than 90 years in global energy and real estate development. It operates across four continents and has developed a wide range of infrastructure, from upstream oil and gas to LNG terminals and high-voltage transmission systems. Through its affiliate, Hunt Energy Network, the company currently operates 310 megawatts of distributed energy assets in Texas, with plans to scale beyond 1 gigawatt.<\/p>\n

That track record, Hunt says, positions the company to take on what\u2019s next<\/p>\n

\u201cStarting in Texas, we\u2019re laying the foundation for a new era of data center power infrastructure,\u201d Hunt Energy CEO Hunter Hunt said in a statement.<\/p>\n
