Why This Role Matters

At full build-out, Monarch is engineered to deliver multi-gigawatt, off-grid power to support the world's most demanding AI training and inference workloads, anchored by an MOU with Microsoft for 1.35 GW of capacity using NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 GPUs.
Phase 1 — a 2.16 GW natural gas-fired facility comprising three H-shaped data center buildings and 864 Caterpillar reciprocating natural gas engines — is targeted for initial operation in early 2027. Monarch represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build mission-critical AI infrastructure in close partnership with Caterpillar, Babcock & Wilcox, Powell Industries, and the State of West Virginia.
