Energy & infrastructure

Power and infrastructure, delivered.

DTX Power develops, invests in and operates energy assets: baseload and peaking power plants, modular generation for industry, and the fuel supply chains and infrastructure that keep them running.

The opportunity

Demand for energy is growing faster than the systems built to supply it.

Growing cities, new industry and data centers all need power that is reliable and affordable. In many markets, grids rely on imports, aging plant or intermittent supply, and new capacity takes years to arrive.

We close that gap by building and financing the assets that are missing, from the fuel supply and the generating plant to the connection that delivers power to the people who use it.

What we do

Four ways we work across energy.

Gas-fired generation and its supply chain sit at the core of our work, alongside investment across the wider energy and infrastructure sector.

Plants sized to the grid they serve.

We develop and operate baseload, load-following and peaking plants, in simple or combined cycle, phased so that first power arrives early and capacity grows with demand.

Baseload and peaking

Every grid needs both.

Demand rises and falls through the day. Different plants cover different parts of the curve. Move across the chart to see how a typical day is served.

How a project works

From fuel to grid, under one agreement.

For a utility-scale plant we take responsibility for the whole chain, so the utility buys power, not a construction project. Select a stage.

Fuel supply

Every plant starts with dependable fuel. We secure supply and, where no pipeline reaches the site, design the compression, transport and receiving chain that delivers it.

Fuel logistics

Flexible fuel, wherever the plant is.

Where the gas network reaches, we connect by pipeline. Where it does not, we build a virtual one: we have experience with CNG and LNG virtual pipelines by land and by sea. We choose the fuel form and route that suit each project. Pick a route and a fuel to see how it works.

PipelineRoad or railMarine

A buried steel pipeline carries gas continuously from the processing plant or the national network to the site, with block valves and pressure monitoring along the route. Where the network is close, a spur line is the simplest and lowest-cost fuel supply.Cryogenic road tankers and ISO tank containersTube trailers and ISO containers of high-pressure cylinders run between the loading station and the plant on a fixed schedule by road or rail, forming a pipeline on wheels.Small-scale LNG carriersVessels carrying CNG container modules shuttle between a loading jetty and a receiving terminal on a fixed schedule, forming a pipeline across water.
