Framework Agreement Supports Global Demand
INNIO Group announced a significant strategic gas engine framework agreement with Rehlko, securing 1.25 gigawatts (GW) of engine capacity over the next three years. The announcement was made on 9 April 2026 in Jenbach, Austria.
This agreement formalizes and expands Rehlko’s existing firm reservation of 700 megawatts (MW), included in the multi-year allocation. It aims to support the rapidly growing demand from data centers and flexible generation projects across key global markets.
Dr. Olaf Berlien, President and CEO of INNIO Group, expressed, "With this framework agreement, we are strengthening our partnership with Rehlko and creating long-term planning certainty in a market with rapidly growing demand. It ensures that our customers can continue to rely on proven technology and dependable execution, even in highly critical applications such as data centers and grid-stabilization projects."
Rehlko's Delivery Strategy
Rehlko will execute these projects through Clarke Energy, its in-house engineering, delivery, and lifecycle solutions platform. Clarke Energy, boasting over 30 years of collaboration with INNIO, supports a global installed base of over 10 GW, much of it covered by long-term service agreements.
Brian Melka, President and CEO of Rehlko, noted, "This agreement strengthens our ability to support customers making long-term investments in data-centre infrastructure and flexible power generation. Securing multi-year supply enhances visibility and confidence in delivery at a time when demand is being driven by structural, rather than cyclical, market forces."
The framework agreement provides Rehlko and its customers with long-term access to supply at a time of unprecedented growth in both data centre development and grid resilience investment. A significant portion of the secured capacity is intended to address continued demand from hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centre operators undertaking rapid and multiphase expansion.
The secured 1.25 GW capacity will be delivered over the next three years, starting immediately, to meet the escalating demand for reliable energy solutions.
INNIO Group, with its Jenbacher and Waukesha product brands, along with its AI-powered myplant digital platform, offers innovative solutions for data centre power infrastructure, distributed power generation, and compression applications. These solutions enable energy transition across the energy value chain, ensuring reliable energy supply even where the grid is unavailable.
