OnePWR Readies 1.2 GW of Power to Bypass America's Strained Grid

SAN ANTONIO, TX – February 03, 2026 – In a significant move aimed at addressing the growing power deficit plaguing U.S. industries, OnePWR Solutions announced today it has amassed over 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of power generation assets, positioning itself as a major force in the push for energy independence. The San Antonio-based developer revealed it has 400 megawatts (MW) of generation equipment currently in its inventory and ready for immediate deployment, with an additional 800 MW secured for delivery over the next 24 months.

This stockpile of equipment enables the company to offer firm commercial operation dates (CODs) for new power projects in 2026 and 2027, a promise that directly confronts the long lead times and supply chain bottlenecks that frequently delay critical infrastructure projects. The announcement comes as industrial and commercial power demand continues to surge, placing unprecedented strain on an aging national grid that is struggling to keep pace.

OnePWR’s strategy is a direct response to this market reality. By pre-procuring and inventorying essential generation hardware, the company aims to radically shorten project timelines for its clients, who are increasingly seeking reliable, dedicated power sources to protect their operations from grid instability and rising energy costs.

“Access to equipment alone doesn’t solve today’s power constraints – execution does,” said David Coker, CEO of OnePWR Solutions, in the company's announcement. “By combining deploy-ready generation with an integrated engineering, procurement and construction team, we reduce execution risk and deliver power when and where customers need it.”

A Strategy Built on Speed and Certainty

The core of OnePWR's value proposition lies in its ability to deliver speed and certainty in a market fraught with delays. The traditional model for developing a new power plant involves a sequential process of securing a customer, designing the facility, ordering equipment, and then waiting—often for years—for manufacturing and delivery. OnePWR upends this model by having the assets on hand.

This inventory-led approach is coupled with an integrated Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) model. By controlling the entire project lifecycle in-house, the company asserts it can eliminate the coordination challenges and blame-shifting that often occur between separate engineering firms, equipment suppliers, and construction contractors. This streamlined execution is designed to ensure that projects not only start faster but also stay on schedule and on budget, culminating in a reliable COD.

For large industrial consumers—from data centers and manufacturing plants to advanced processing facilities—the certainty of a COD is paramount. A delay of even a few months can translate into millions of dollars in lost revenue or contractual penalties. By offering firm “COD options,” OnePWR provides a level of schedule assurance that is highly coveted. This allows clients to plan their own business expansions and operational launches with confidence, knowing their dedicated power supply will be active when needed.

Tapping into Surging Demand for Grid Independence

OnePWR's billion-dollar bet on deploy-ready assets is timed to meet a tidal wave of new energy demand. According to data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), commercial and industrial power demand has climbed nearly 19% between 2020 and 2024. This growth, driven by digitalization, the reshoring of manufacturing, and the electrification of industry, is outstripping the grid's capacity for expansion.

This widening gap between supply and demand has created a fertile market for “behind-the-meter” solutions. These are on-site power generation systems, such as microgrids or dedicated power plants, that operate independently of the traditional utility grid. Businesses are turning to these solutions not as a luxury, but as a necessity for operational resilience.

“An increasing share of planned capacity is bypassing the grid altogether through behind-the-meter solutions,” noted Antti Ekqvist, Chief Commercial Officer of OnePWR Solutions. “Power demand across U.S. industrial and commercial sectors continues to climb, and traditional infrastructure is struggling to keep pace. That’s where OnePWR comes in.”

The company’s model involves developing, owning, and operating these assets, selling the electricity to the client through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). This structure allows customers to secure a stable, predictable power supply without the massive upfront capital investment or the technical expertise required to build and manage their own power plant. They get the benefits of energy independence while focusing on their core business.

The Rise of Decentralized Power and Energy Security

The implications of OnePWR's strategy extend beyond individual corporate clients to the broader landscape of U.S. energy security. The national grid, a marvel of 20th-century engineering, is increasingly vulnerable to 21st-century threats, including extreme weather events, cyberattacks, and physical sabotage. A single point of failure on a major transmission line can trigger cascading outages affecting millions.

Decentralized power, the category in which OnePWR operates, offers a powerful hedge against these systemic risks. By generating power at the point of consumption, behind-the-meter systems create islands of resilience. A factory or data center with its own microgrid can continue to operate seamlessly even if the surrounding utility grid goes down. This ensures continuity for critical industries, protecting supply chains and bolstering economic stability.

OnePWR Solutions develops these turnkey projects as both fixed power plants and modular microgrids, tailored to the specific needs of the offtaker. These systems can be configured with various technologies, including efficient natural gas engines or turbines, often with pathways to incorporate renewable sources or hydrogen in the future. By providing a full-scale, build-to-suit energy solution, the company is enabling its customers to effectively build a moat around their energy supply, ensuring long-term operational resilience in an increasingly uncertain world.
