Babcock & Wilcox signed a limited notice to proceed on a project valued at over $1.5 billion to design and install four 300 MW gas-fired boiler and steam turbine plants for an Applied Digital AI Factory, its entry into AI data-centre power.

Babcock & Wilcox chose Siemens Energy to supply the steam turbine generator sets for its one-gigawatt Applied Digital power project, under a limited notice to proceed it said would let it deliver power by the end of 2028.

Babcock & Wilcox received full notice to proceed on a $2.4 billion design-build contract with Base Electron, an Applied Digital-backed power producer, for 1.2 GW of gas-fired boiler and steam turbine capacity to supply Applied Digital AI Factory campuses.

The 1,200 MW gas-fired plant Babcock & Wilcox is building for Base Electron near Center, North Dakota, to power Applied Digital's AI data centres is now due to run in 2030, after B&W first promised power by the end of 2028.
