Skeleton Technologies is expanding its presence in the United States to address growing demands on the power grid from AI infrastructure. On February 5, 2026, the company announced plans to open an engineering facility in Houston, Texas, supporting AI data center and energy infrastructure development.
U.S. data center power consumption is projected to more than double by 2030, driven in part by energy-intensive AI operations with highly variable power profiles. These demand spikes can overload grid infrastructure, increasing the risk of outages and prompting utilities to build new generation capacity and upgrade equipment, which may raise electricity prices.
Skeleton Technologies offers supercapacitor-based solutions that help AI data centers smooth their power demand profiles and reduce overall energy consumption by up to 45 percent. By mitigating peak loads, these systems ease grid strain and enable data center operators to increase computing output with a smaller energy footprint.
The U.S. market already accounts for over 100 megawatts of deployed systems, with roughly half of Skeleton’s revenue coming from North American customers. Current projects include push-to-pass modules for all IndyCar vehicles, engine-starting systems for a major global truck manufacturer, energy storage units for Amtrak trains in collaboration with Siemens Mobility US, and power systems for a leading nuclear fusion company. The company also maintains strategic supplier relationships with GE Vernova and GE Healthcare.
To further localize its operations, Skeleton plans to establish U.S. manufacturing capacity for AI data center solutions in the first half of 2026. Its technology is built on a proprietary Curved Graphene material that requires no lithium, cobalt, manganese or other critical raw materials, reducing reliance on constrained supply chains.
This U.S. expansion follows the opening of two European factories in November 2025—a $270 million plant in Germany and a $60 million facility in Finland—and builds on $400 million in capital investments from firms including Siemens and Marubeni.
