Wartsila CEO Wants to Power More US Data Centers in AI-Led Boom

Wartsila Oyj is seeking a foothold in the AI-fueled US data-center boom, betting that its engines that can power the server stacks will benefit from a rare opening as gas turbines are in short supply.

The Finnish manufacturer of power generation gear has secured three large US gas-engine orders for data centers since last summer, totaling about 1.2 gigawatts.
