Behind your natural gas powered generator

We pay you for your generator's unused production capacity.

A 20 ft compute container, sited behind your gas generator. We take the surplus capacity your site isn't using and pay you per metered kWh delivered. Curtailment trips in milliseconds with hardware and software redundancy. Contractually guaranteed.

What we do, in 56 seconds.

Remote mining operations, off-grid oil & gas wells, saltwater disposal facilities, midstream pipeline stations, construction projects, industrial yards — almost anywhere a natural-gas generator is running. Most run well below full capacity. We drop in a portable compute pod, draw the kilowatts your site doesn't need, and pay you for every one delivered.

An enormous pool of unmonetized power sits behind today's natural-gas gensets.
Inexpensive and abundant natural gas meets ever-expanding compute demand. We connect the two — anywhere a generator is running.
The opportunity

Surplus generator capacity is the opportunity.

Thousands of natural-gas gensets run off-grid every day — at construction sites, remote facilities and microgrids, oil & gas pads, pipeline stations, gas plants, disposal facilities, industrial yards. All sized for peaks, all idling on inexpensive and abundant gas. We aggregate that idle capacity into compute revenue.

Where the surplus goes today

Gensets are sized for peak load — startup surges, compressor cycling, drilling spikes, jobsite ramp-up, equipment cycling. Most hours they coast at 40–60%. The surplus shows up in wasteful forms: gas flared or vented, electricity dumped into load banks as heat, engines throttled below efficient range, fuel burned for nothing. None of it is monetized today.

What we do

Sites a 20-ft compute container behind your meter. Consumes the surplus. Pays you per kWh. Curtails in milliseconds on demand.

How it works

A 20-ft container next to your generator.

Construction site, remote facility, microgrid, wellhead, pipeline pumping station, gas plant, disposal facility — anywhere a natural-gas genset is running. Toggle the curtailment demo below to see what happens when your site calls for full capacity.

Why us

Who else is doing this — and why we're different.

Behind-the-meter compute is real. The question is whether your site is a footnote or the customer.

CONTRACTED OFFTAKE

Order in hand: 20 sites × 1 MW for the first round, with the same customer signalling more behind it. Compute hardware is staged and ready to deploy — first check can be inside 60 days of a signed term sheet.

SINGLE-PAD SCALE

We deploy at 500 kW and up — purpose-built for your existing sites. No gigawatt campus, no land acquisition, no permitting odyssey. One pad at a time, sized to your generator.

CURTAILMENT-FIRST

Hardware- and software-managed curtailment with dual-PLC redundancy and fail-safe trip relays. Contractually guaranteed. If your site is at 95% load, we're at zero.

Easy first step

Send us your generator telemetry data.

That's the whole first step. No site visit. No commitment. We extract the four numbers that matter — average load, peak load, runtime hours, fuel consumption — and come back with an offer sized to your site.

  1. 1
    You send telemetry

    Email or shared drive. Even a screenshot of your control panel works.

  2. 2
    We model the offer

    Avg load, peak, runtime, fuel — sized to your actual numbers.

  3. 3
    Written offer in 5 business days

    Per metered kWh delivered, on a monthly recurring basis.

  4. 4
    Live load can be 30–45 days

    Compute hardware is staged and ready. We bring the gear, comms, and ops.

  5. 5
    First check can be inside 60 days

    Potentially from the day you sign. Recurring monthly thereafter, per metered kWh.
