Bergen ships first engines for 400MW AI project in the USA
The first 4 of 36 Bergen B36:45V20 gas engines, each producing 11.2MW of behind-the-meter (BTM) power, were shipped from the factory in Norway over the holiday period, destined for the company’s first AI data center BTM power project in the USA.
The engines, which will be fitted with Marelli Motori high-density alternators on site, are scheduled to come into service in April, together with Piller SHIELDX™ power stabilization modules.
Further deliveries will be made progressively through 2026, with all 36 Bergen-Marelli generator sets and SHIELDX™ modules expected to be providing up to 400MW of gross BTM power by year end.
“This is an historic moment” said managing director Jon Erik Røv. “The race to power AI is on and Bergen Engines is very much part of that. With over $1 billion of orders received in December alone, powering AI has become a major focus as we ramp up to meet this unprecedented demand in 2026”
The first 4 Bergen B36:45V20 engines for AI data center application are loaded for shipment to the USA in December 2025. 36 of these natural gas fuelled engines will provide up to 400MW of BTM power.
About Bergen Engines
Bergen Engines produces medium-speed liquid and gas fueled engines and generator sets are supplied to a broad range of land-based, commercial marine, and naval applications. The Bergen name is a watchword for quality and reliability in its field. The tradition of engineering in Bergen, Norway, dates to 1855 when the original company Bergen Mekaniske Verksted (BMV) was founded. In 1946, the company built its first diesel engine and has since commissioned over 7,500 of its iconic liquid and gas fueled engines. Around half of them are still in operation today; such is the quality and reliability of a Bergen engine. Formerly Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines, on 31st December 2021, the company became part of the privately owned British engineering group, Langley Holdings plc
