Wärtsilä, Schneider Electric Launch US Data Center Power Approach

01:43 AM EDT, 10/01/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Wärtsilä (WRT1V.HE), alongside Schneider Electric (SU.PA) and Stanley Consultants, developed a "generator-to-chip" approach that aligns onsite power generation, electrical infrastructure, and automation to help US data center developers and operators bring power capacity online faster. The energy industry technology company will handle the modular engine power plants for onsite generation, while energy management and automation company Schneider Electric oversees the electrical architecture, automation, and digital power management that coordinate power from generation to the AI load, according to a Wednesday release. Wärtsilä said the coordinated approach aims to reduce handoffs and speed up project schedules compared with traditional sequential delivery.
