Daniel Atherton, CEO
As demand for secure, efficient, and lower-carbon power accelerates, driven by the rapid expansion of data centers, AI workloads, and cloud infrastructure, Prime Power is positioned to meet the moment. The company specializes in behind-the-meter (BTM) natural gas fired power generation, wind, solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS), as well as co-locating onsite and grid-tied energy generation with data centers.
Prime Power is led by a founding team with over 50 years of combined experience across the energy and infrastructure sectors. Daniel Atherton (Chief Executive Officer) brings 20+ years of experience in energy infrastructure development, including natural gas projects in the Marcellus Shale, large-scale asset acquisitions, and intrastate pipeline projects across the United States. In 2024, Mr. Atherton led the development of 3.5 GW of power projects at a leading independent power producer, covering over 230,000 acres in Texas. Together with Pervez Siddique (Chief Development Officer), whose prior leadership roles at esVolta and EDF Renewables included driving multi-gigawatt battery storage, solar, gas, and wind energy development, the team brings deep operational expertise to every phase of project delivery.
Daniel Atherton CEO | “The energy landscape is at an inflection point. Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy, yet the grid simply cannot keep pace with the power demands of AI, cloud computing, and mission-critical operations. Prime Power was built to solve that problem. We deliver always-on, utility-independent power that operators can count on — with faster deployment, proven technology, and a long-term ownership mindset that puts reliability first.” |
The company delivers fully integrated, technology-agnostic power solutions engineered specifically for the demands of modern data centers. At the core of its offering is a reliability-first platform that:
- Operates independent of local electrical grids, providing utility-independent reliability and insulating operators from grid congestion, curtailment, and price volatility.
- Deploys gas turbines for large-scale, high-output applications; high-efficiency reciprocating engines for modular, fast-start capacity; and hybrid configurations for redundancy and flexibility.
- Delivers faster speed to power with accelerated deployment timelines compared to traditional grid-connected development.
- Features redundancy, fast-start capability, and islanded operation that ensures continuous power even during grid disruptions.
- Provides modular scalability and long-term cost certainty, allowing data center operators to expand capacity without straining public power systems.
Pervez Siddique CDO | “We’re seeing unprecedented demand from data center operators who need power solutions that are not only reliable, but deployable at speed and scale. At Prime Power, we bring a rare combination of deep development expertise across every generation technology, a portfolio approach that lets us match the right solution to each site, and the financial backing to move fast. Our goal is to be the partner of choice for operators who refuse to compromise on uptime or timeline.” said Pervez Siddique, Chief Development Officer of Prime Power Inc. |
Prime Power’s service offerings span the full project lifecycle: project development (site selection, feasibility studies, and permitting); engineering and construction (optimized design and seamless execution); grid integration and microgrids (reliable onsite power with grid redundancy); and asset management (ongoing monitoring and maintenance for peak reliability). The company partners directly with data center operators, landowners, and investors to implement cutting-edge onsite power generation strategies that enhance uptime, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
Prime Power Inc. is backed by a leading private equity fund based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro that specializes in project development, providing the financial foundation to scale rapidly and bring strong, reliable projects to market.
