MiCo Group has finalized its acquisition of Dutch power equipment maker NEM Energy, aiming to leverage the growing demand for gas-fired power plants as artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers contribute to increased electricity needs in North America. The acquisition was officially sealed on Tuesday, with MiCo's subsidiary, Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems (HPS), completing the payment for NEM Energy.
The company intends to merge NEM Energy's engineering expertise and extensive customer base with HPS' extensive manufacturing capabilities, enhancing its standing in the gas-fired power sector, especially in North America. The acquisition is timely, as the expansion of AI infrastructure has revealed power availability as a significant hurdle.
The development of data centers for AI and cloud services is driving unprecedented electricity consumption, leading utilities and developers to adopt gas-fired generation for consistent power alongside renewable sources. Leading gas turbine manufacturers such as GE Vernova and Siemens Energy have also observed surging interest.
