INNIO Group, Gföllner Group establish JV, offering power solutions to the U.S. market

  • The INNIO Group and Gföllner Group joint venture addresses the rapidly growing energy demand in the U.S. with flexible, quickly deployable energy solutions.
  • By 2028, total output of the container modules produced annually is expected to exceed 1 gigawatt.
  • In the medium term, more than 200 new jobs will be created at the new location.
INNIO Group and Gföllner Group have established a joint venture in the U.S., IGPS (INNIO Gfoellner Power Systems LLC). The joint venture aims to meet the rapidly rising demand for decentralized, flexible, and quickly deployable energy solutions. INNIO will hold a majority stake in the new company and will provide its high-performance Jenbacher gas engines, which will be containerized on site to create modular energy solutions.
“This joint venture is another important step forward on our growth path. With decentralized plug-and-play energy solutions, we are the ideal partner to help meet the rapidly growing energy demands of the U.S.,” said Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO Group.
Production of the container modules with Jenbacher engines is scheduled to begin by the end of 2025. By 2028, the capacity of the containers produced will be capable of delivering well over 1 gigawatt of output annually. The container modules will be manufactured in Trenton, New Jersey.
“This joint venture supports the expansion of North America’s energy infrastructure through decentralized container systems. Gföllner is committed to enabling a secure and sustainable energy supply worldwide,” said Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Karl Pühretmair, owner and CEO at Gföllner Group.
INNIO intends to expand its U.S. workforce by around 50 percent in the coming years. In Trenton alone, more than 200 new jobs—primarily in production—are planned.
