Babcock & Wilcox and Denham Capital's Sustainable Infrastructure arm will jointly convert existing coal-fired plants, largely to natural gas, to power data centres in the US and Europe. B&W supplies the engineering and technology; Denham leads development and financing. No plant is named yet, so the pin sits at B&W's Akron headquarters.

Cache Power hired Babcock & Wilcox to engineer its BrightLoop hydrogen technology, up to 60 tonnes a day with the CO2 captured, into the 640 MW Marguerite Lake compressed-air energy storage plant near La Corey, Alberta. An Alberta Innovates grant pays for part of the study.

B&W sold its Allen-Sherman-Hoff ash-handling business to a subsidiary of Austria's Andritz for $29 million, a step to finish paying down its debt and focus on power generation, including plants for AI data centres.

B&W sold 12.4 million new shares at $18.50 each, raising about $230 million with the underwriters' extra shares, and Applied Digital bought about 540,500 of them. The money is meant to expand steam turbine and boiler production for AI data centre power plants.

Babcock & Wilcox is collaborating with TerraSpark on the TerraSpark Energy Campus near the Mount Storm power complex in Grant County, West Virginia, with an expected scope of four 400 MW supercritical boilers, full emissions controls and construction. The campus pairs a 1.6 GW coal plant with Mantel's carbon capture.

B&W's board authorised buying back up to $50 million of its common stock, starting after its second-quarter 10-Q, with no expiry date and subject to its lenders. The same day it called its last $61.4 million of 2026 notes for redemption.

Babcock & Wilcox signed for Siemens Energy to start work on 20 steam turbine generator sets of 50 MW each, 1 GW in all, for its FastPower data-centre program, on top of the turbines already ordered for the Applied Digital project.

B&W redeemed all $61.4 million of its 6.50% Senior Notes due 2026 at full face value plus interest, so none of them remain outstanding. Its CFO said the company now has its strongest balance sheet in recent history.

Babcock & Wilcox received a limited notice to proceed on an approximately $130 million air quality control project for an unnamed US coal-fired power plant, starting engineering and long-lead purchasing, with its construction arm expected to install it. The plant is not named, so the pin sits at B&W's Akron headquarters.

B&W's third-quarter 2026 report and its 5 p.m. ET call, estimated for Monday 9 November from its pattern of Monday-evening calls; the company has not announced the date yet. The quarter will be measured against its raised $80-105 million 2026 adjusted EBITDA target.

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.
