When Power becomes a risk

With MAN captive power solutions, you take control

We don’t just supply power – we enable energy independence. With MAN's scalable, flexible systems tailored to your needs – including CO₂-neutral options – your data center stays reliably powered, no matter what.

Our dual fuel technology provides fuel security and high availability – even in times of gas shortage. Modular, scalable systems adapt to your specific requirements, and our expertise in CO₂-neutral fuels helps meet ambitious sustainability goals. As a full-service partner, MAN ES delivers everything from a single source – engineering, procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance (EPC and O&M).

Power your data centers with confidence

Take control – of your energy, your costs, your future. When you’re no longer dependent on the grid, you gain more than just resilience. You gain freedom. Freedom to plan ahead with confidence. Freedom to grow at your pace. Freedom to choose what’s right for your business – and for the planet. Our modular systems scale with you. Our dual fuel engines ensure security, even in times of crisis. And our ability to integrate renewables unlocks true sustainability.

Don’t leave your power supply to chance – power your data center with confidence. Choose MAN captive power solutions: reliable, efficient, and future-proof.

MAN power plant

Reliable, on-demand energy tailored to data center needs – independent, efficient, and future-ready. With full EPC capability from a single source, you get more than just technology: you get peace of mind. From design to commissioning, we deliver turnkey energy solutions so you can focus on your core business.


• Modular power plants (50–500 MW) with high net efficiency
• Future-proof: hydrogen-ready for CO₂-free operation
• End-to-end delivery with full EPC capability – from engineering and procurement to construction and commissioning

MAN engines

Our engines are the foundation of every captive power solution – built for reliability, fuel flexibility, and continuous performance under demanding conditions.

• Dual fuel capability (Gas + HVO) for maximum availability and fuel flexibility
• Fast response times: startup in <5 min, load adjustment >40% per minute
• CO₂-neutral biofuel ready – and hydrogen-ready for the future
• Developed and built in-house, and with decades of application expertise
• Fully integrated into our EPC and O&M approach for seamless delivery and support

MAN heat management solution

Turn waste heat into an asset – maximize efficiency while reducing emissions.

• Uses waste heat from the engine to cool the power plant
• MAN heat pump converts waste heat from the data center to usable heat for the city
• Supports cooling for data centers and district heating for urban areas
• Reduces CO₂ footprint and optimizes energy use

Smart integration of renewables, grid, and onsite generation

Whether sourced from wind, solar, the public grid, or onsite engines – the MAN’s energy management system (EMS), installed directly at the power plant or data center, ensures seamless integration, control, and balancing of all energy inputs.

• Direct use of grid-based or renewable energy depending on demand, availability, and cost efficiency
• Intelligent EMS coordination also includes onsite assets such as engines, heat pumps, and local renewables
• Dynamic switching – for example, full grid supply when green electricity is cheap, while only the heat pump operates to deliver heat to the city
• Increases flexibility while reducing fossil fuel dependency and stabilizing operations with optimized energy and heat flows
