They can be used for continuous power running 8,000 plus hours a year.
Or they can be dispatchable if it's, say, a utility bridging application where the utility arrives and we use the utility parts of the time and the engines parts of the time.
So really flexible.
They're used regularly.
traditionally for grid electric utilities, like investor owned utilities, municipal co-op electric utilities.
And we've had steady growth over several decades now with, in the US, approximately 80 power plant sites, totaling six plus gigawatts in the United States.
And in the world, we've got 80 gigawatts installed of our engines, which to put that in perspective, that could power
the area of Urquhart in Texas on a peak summer day with the amount of power that we've got installed in the world.
2025 was our best year ever as you can imagine with this power growth that we'll talk about.
We had phenomenal water intake in 2025 and we're excited at the opportunities ahead of us in 26 and beyond.
Sure.
I kind of like to use analogy and metaphor sometimes.
I think of AI, it's like the discovery of oil back in the day.
wasn't an internal combustion engine they just had all this oil well ai has been discovered now what are we going to do with it what's going to grow and i think of it as it's like a 100 meter relay race right now ai training has the baton but what's going to happen is uh you know google and open ai we're thinking about what they're doing what are the hyperscalers doing with microsoft and amazon and
Meta and Oracle and others and those Neo Clouds, Core Weaves and Crusos, all these players are starting to find their way.
And that baton at some point in time is going to pass to the inference side and the agentic AI for adoption by all.
And I think about how it's incredibly large amounts of power are needed now for training, but how much will be needed
later when Walmart tries to figure out how to spend their AI spend to create more retail or the financial services industry and healthcare creating solutions for cancer or Lewy body dementia or what have you.
And all of that is requiring power to power GPUs to deliver tokens, to deliver these sorts of responses.
And again, all the above is needing more power.
