Data Center POST had the opportunity to connect with Allan Schurr, Chief Commercial Officer at Enchanted Rock, where he leads commercial strategy, partnerships, and market expansion across data centers, utilities, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure. With deep experience at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and technology, Allan works closely with hyperscalers, developers, and operators to address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: securing reliable, scalable power amid tightening grid constraints.
Throughout the conversation, Allan shared a pragmatic perspective to the energy transition, focused on solutions that work today, while enabling lower-carbon outcomes over time. The information below is summarized to provide our readers a deeper dive into who Enchanted Rock is, what they do and the problems they are solving in the industry.
What does Enchanted Rock do?
Enchanted Rock delivers resilient, dispatchable onsite power generation that enables data centers and other critical facilities to secure power when and where the grid cannot. Working in partnership with utilities, our turnkey power solutions accelerate deployment, protect operations, and strengthen grid reliability.
What problems does Enchanted Rock solve in the market?
Enchanted Rock addresses the growing gap between fast-growing data center power demand and grid capacity. Our solutions help customers overcome interconnection delays, transmission constraints, and utility upgrade timelines, while ensuring reliable power during early operations, peak demand, and grid outages.
What are Enchanted Rock’s core products or services?
At Enchanted Rock, we focus on dispatchable onsite generation systems, end-to-end project delivery (such as design, engineering, EPC, commissioning), and long-term operations and maintenance. We also prioritize portfolio-level power strategy, market participation, and policy support.
What markets do you serve?
Enchanted Rock serves critical infrastructure customers across North America, with a focus on regions experiencing grid congestion, rapid load growth, and constrained interconnection capacity. This includes hyperscale, enterprise, colocation, and edge data center operators, as well as commercial and industrial sites.
What challenges does the global digital infrastructure industry face today?
The defining issue for the global digital infrastructure industry today is power. As AI and cloud adoption accelerate, electricity demand is increasing faster than traditional grid expansion timelines. This has resulted in longer interconnection queues, higher costs, and greater engagement from communities and regulators. In this environment, power availability, reliability, sustainability, and speed to deployment are no longer separate considerations, they must be addressed together.
How is Enchanted Rock adapting to these challenges?
We enable customers to bring capacity online immediately through onsite natural gas or renewable natural gas generation while remaining flexible as grid conditions evolve. Our portfolio-level approach allows developers and operators to standardize scalable solutions, reduce risk across multiple sites, achieve emissions-reduction goals, and align near-term reliability with long-term energy strategies.
What are Enchanted Rock’s key differentiators?
At Enchanted Rock, we focus on proven, dispatchable onsite power that protects customer uptime while supporting grid stability alongside flexible interconnection strategies that adapt to evolving utility, market, and regulatory conditions. Also, we have onsite generation that enables early operations and capacity ramp while data centers await permanent grid interconnection and end-to-end ownership and operational accountability across the full project lifecycle. On top of that, we have portfolio-level scalability for multi-site data center deployments and the ability to integrate with renewable energy and long-term decarbonization strategies.
What can we expect to see/hear from Enchanted Rock in the future?
Enchanted Rock will continue expanding its role as a long-term power partner across data centers, industrial customers, and other critical infrastructure. We are focused on scaling portfolio-level onsite power solutions, developing new models for collaboration with utilities, and advancing systems that enhance grid reliability and community resilience. Looking ahead, we will continue investing in flexible, lower-emission generation that enables faster infrastructure deployment while supporting the evolving needs of the grid and the communities it serves.
What upcoming industry events will you be attending?
Enchanted Rock attends and participates in industry events throughout the year focused on energy resiliency, power infrastructure, and digital infrastructure development. Later this month, catch us at PowerGen and the Power Resilience Forum; for a full schedule of upcoming events, visit www.enchantedrock.com/events.
Do you have any recent news you would like us to highlight?
Enchanted Rock recently appointed John Carrington as Chief Executive Officer to guide the company’s next phase of strategic growth, leveraging his extensive experience scaling energy and technology businesses nationwide. The company also introduced new onsite power generation platforms, the ERT500TM natural gas generator and RockBlock TM system, engineered to deliver higher power density, lower emissions, and utility-grade resiliency while reducing reliance on traditional diesel generators.
Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about Enchanted Rock and capabilities?
As grid conditions become more volatile and utility constraints intensify, Enchanted Rock is focused on helping customers and grid operators adapt to both near-term reliability risks and long-term structural change. We work alongside utilities, regulators, and customers to deploy flexible onsite power that not only protects facilities from outages, but also supports grid operations, evolving interconnection models, and emerging policy requirements.
Even in a year without U.S. hurricane landfalls, the grid faced significant stress in 2025, from winter storms and record heat to accelerating load growth driven by data centers and electrification. During that period, Enchanted Rock protected 348 sites, avoided 2,022 outages, and prevented more than 4,800 hours of downtime, including one avoided outage lasting 628 hours. That real-world performance underscores our role as a dependable, adaptive power partner, helping facilities stay powered, utilities manage constraints, and communities remain resilient as reliability margins tighten heading into 2026 and beyond.
