Behind-the-Meter AI Power Index
Primary-source index of behind-the-meter generation and public offtake for AI data centers
Behind-the-meter AI power is generation sited at a data center, including gas turbines, gas engines, fuel cells, and microgrids, plus public offtake contracts that dedicate plant output to computing load. Talen's 11 June 2025 agreement supplies Amazon 1,920 megawatts from Susquehanna through 2042. Entergy plans seven gas plants above 5,200 megawatts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as behind-the-meter power in this index?
On-site generation that serves the data center directly. Caterpillar's Monarch release calls the campus fully self-supplied, with no incremental utility delivery for its load. AEP's Bloom fuel cells are customer-sited and designed not to send energy back to the grid.
What is the largest nuclear offtake in the index?
Vistra's 9 January 2026 release says 20-year PPAs with Meta reach 2,609 MW in 2034, including 2,176 MW from operating Perry and Davis-Besse units and 433 MW of uprates. Those plants keep delivering electricity to the PJM grid.
How large is the Talen and Amazon Susquehanna contract?
Talen's 11 June 2025 release says the expanded PPA supplies 1,920 MW at full quantity through 2042, with full volume expected no later than 2032. The existing co-located load becomes front-of-the-meter in spring 2026, and PPL Electric Utilities delivers the power.
Which on-site gas orders are recorded?
VoltaGrid's INNIO orders are 1.5 GW (300 Jenbacher engines, delivery by 2028) and 2.3 GW (92 packs of 25 MW). Crusoe ordered 29 LM2500XPRESS turbines, nearly 1 GW. Monarch ordered 2 GW of Caterpillar G3516 gensets. Twenty20 ordered 10 Frame 5 turbines, up to 250 MW. New APR Energy is deploying four mobile turbines at 100 MW+.
