Baker Hughes, a leading energy technology company, has announced the award of an order for the supply of 25 BRUSH™ DAX 7 electrical generators, intended to strengthen Boom Supersonic’s energy solution for artificial intelligence data centers. This new contract adds to a previous 2025 agreement, consolidating a total delivery of 31 units with a combined capacity of 1.3 gigawatts.
These generators will be paired with Boom’s Superpower turbines, originally designed for supersonic propulsion and now adapted for power generation. Each turbine, with a power output of 42 megawatts, will operate in conjunction with the air-cooled BRUSH DAX 7 generators to provide stable baseload power to data centers demanding high availability, such as those used by Crusoe.
Energy Technology for AI Data Centers
Boom Supersonic is committed to a new category of on-site generation that eliminates reliance on the conventional power grid. Their approach is based on a highly efficient and sustained gas turbine design, which, together with Baker Hughes’ technology, enables the deployment of high-performance distributed energy solutions.
BRUSH DAX 7 generators are two-pole units renowned for their reliability, operational efficiency, and low maintenance costs. In conjunction with aeroderivative turbines, they form a modular energy architecture capable of scaling to meet growth needs in intensive computing environments.
Energy Alliance to Meet Future Demand
Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes, highlighted that this collaboration demonstrates how the company is adapting its solutions to address the global increase in energy demand, especially driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence.
For his part, Blake Scholl, CEO of Boom Supersonic, emphasized that by combining their aviation-derived turbine with BRUSH generators, they are able to offer a reliable, flexible, and future-ready energy platform for high-performance computing.
Deliveries of the new generators are scheduled between mid-2026 and 2028, marking a key step in the evolution of energy infrastructure for advanced data centers.
