Enbridge Adds Turboexpanders at Pipeline Sites to Power Data Centers in Canada, Pennsylvania
(P&GJ) — Enbridge is partnering with Anax Power and Magellan Scientific to deploy emissions-free power systems at pipeline sites in Ontario and Pennsylvania, marking a first-of-its-kind installation in Canada.
Anax Power has signed operating agreements with Enbridge to install its Anax Turboexpander System (ATE) at facilities in Hamilton, Ontario, and in Pennsylvania. The systems will generate electricity by harnessing the pressure and flow of natural gas—without combustion or greenhouse gas emissions.
The project will deliver up to 1.5 megawatts (MW) of clean energy capacity in Ontario and up to 2 MW in Pennsylvania. The electricity will be used to power Magellan Scientific’s modular, off-grid data centers located at the sites.
“This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through innovative, sustainable solutions,” said Steven Greenley, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Enbridge Gas. “We take pride in utilizing our natural gas systems to champion environmental initiatives to enhance the well-being of the communities we operate in.”
The Pennsylvania deployment is the second in the state for Anax and Magellan, while the Hamilton project marks the first ATE installation in Canada. Enbridge is the first major pipeline operator in North America to adopt the ATE, which could potentially be scaled to hundreds of locations.
Anax plans to install up to three turboexpanders in Ontario and four in Pennsylvania. In addition to generating power, the systems provide cooling benefits that help manage heat loads in the data centers.
“These projects represent monumental milestones for Anax, and we believe this will be the start of a long partnership with Enbridge and Magellan as we scale across North America,” said Michael Longo, CEO of Anax Power. “By turning waste energy into clean electricity, this installation demonstrates how Anax makes existing energy infrastructure more sustainable—right now, with proven technology.”
“Data center demands for electricity are exponentially increasing,” said Christopher Halvorson, President of Magellan Scientific. “Pairing our off-grid immersion data centers with the ATEs provides a source of 24/7, emission-free electricity. The turboexpander also helps to manage excessive heat from the data center by providing cooling at zero incremental cost.”
