ProPetro (NYSE: PUMP) has announced the launch of ProPWR, a new subsidiary focused on mobile natural gas-fueled power generation. The company has placed an initial order for over 110 megawatts of power generation equipment, representing a $122 million investment. The equipment will serve multiple oilfield and industrial applications across the Permian Basin.

The investment will be funded through a combination of cash (up to $20 million in early 2025) and external financing. Equipment deliveries are scheduled between June 2025 and March 2026. ProPWR aims to support ProPetro's FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets, which currently utilize approximately 140 megawatts of mobile power generation capacity, and plans to expand into non-oil and gas applications such as industrial projects and data centers.

Insights

The launch of ProPWR represents a significant $122 million strategic investment into the power generation sector, marking ProPetro's first new service line in over a decade. The investment structure, with only $20 million initial cash outlay and the remainder financed, demonstrates prudent capital management. This expansion aligns with the growing power demands in the Permian Basin and creates vertical integration opportunities for ProPetro's electric fracturing operations.

The business model shows promise with multiple revenue streams - supporting internal operations, oilfield services and potential expansion into industrial and data center markets. The timing of equipment delivery (June 2025-March 2026) allows for contract negotiations and market development while maintaining financial flexibility. With 110+ megawatts of initial capacity complementing their existing 140 megawatts used in fracturing operations, ProPetro is positioning itself as a significant player in the regional power generation market.

ProPWR's strategic entry into power generation addresses critical infrastructure needs in the Permian Basin's rapidly evolving energy landscape. The initiative demonstrates excellent market timing, as the region faces increasing power demands from both traditional oil & gas operations and emerging industrial development. The dual-use capability of the equipment - supporting both ProPetro's electric fracturing fleets and external customers - creates operational synergies and risk mitigation.

The natural gas-fueled power generation approach aligns with the industry's shift toward cleaner energy solutions while leveraging abundant local gas resources. By targeting both oilfield and non-oilfield applications, ProPetro is diversifying its revenue streams and reducing exposure to oil & gas cyclicality. The leadership team's industry experience and existing customer relationships should facilitate market penetration and accelerate growth opportunities.

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PUMP) today announced a new subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC, that will do business as ProPWRSM (pronounced as “Pro – power”) and its initial order of over 110 megawatts of mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for use across multiple oilfield and industrial applications.

Sam Sledge, CEO of ProPetro, stated, "We are thrilled to announce our first organic service line startup in over a decade, a testament to our willingness to innovate and draw on our entrepreneurial roots. ProPWRSM is aimed squarely at the growing power demand across the Permian Basin for both oil and gas and developing infrastructure opportunities within the market, and to create more certainty of power generation capacity for our high-performance FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets. We have assembled a first-class team led by industry veterans Travis Simmering, President of ProPWRSM, and Dave Bosco, Vice President of Technical Services, who are managing our operations and commercial efforts. By leveraging ProPetro’s established platform and extensive customer base, they are well-positioned to drive our success. As always, we will be focused on premium service quality and reliability paired with commercial creativity and innovation that all our stakeholders have come to expect from ProPetro.”

Travis Simmering, President of ProPWRSM, commented, "We are excited to provide a differentiated power generation experience in the Permian Basin. The forecasted load growth for electricity is significant and these assets will enable ProPetro to access growth markets, inclusive of supporting ProPetro’s industry-leading and expanding FORCE® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing services which are currently utilizing approximately 140 megawatts of mobile power generation capacity and growing. Our focus is initially on oilfield power applications, but we fully intend to build a platform that will be highly competitive in serving non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers that we believe are likely to gravitate towards the Permian Basin. The combination of these mobile power generation assets along with ProPetro’s established reputation as a leading service provider positions ProPWRSM to capitalize on growing market demand in the basin. With this initial order of over 110 megawatts of mobile power generation assets, we are poised to execute on our strategy of becoming the premier mobile power services provider in the Permian Basin.”

This growth capital investment of approximately $122 million will be funded through a combination of cash and external financing resources with equipment deliveries anticipated to take place between June 2025 and March 2026. The cash investment will consist of up to approximately $20 million in early 2025 with the remaining cost of the investment expected to be financed as progress payments become due and deliveries ultimately occur commencing mid-2025. The Company anticipates deploying these initial assets promptly following their delivery commencing mid-2025 and early into 2026 under contracts, some of which are currently being proposed or negotiated. The Company aims to build a diverse portfolio of mobile power generation and related equipment, expanding well beyond the initial 110 megawatts.
