Oklahoma-based Nova Stirling Power & Light (NSPL) has launched a 25-megawatt hybrid industrial microgrid development programme. The initiative is designed to provide dispatchable power for AI-driven data centres and heavy manufacturing facilities using a proprietary Stirling-based conversion system.

The programme utilises the Nova Eternity Engine, a high-temperature power system engineered for 700°C operation. The technology integrates modular thermal storage with hybrid backup capabilities to provide firm capacity, addressing the high uptime requirements of industrial campuses.

The 25 MW development model includes modular blocks designed for phased industrial deployment, integration with solar-thermal concentrators and modular thermal storage, and engineering for transmission interconnection corridors with high load demand. It also provides structured Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for industrial off-takers.

Mark Wakefield, Founder and System Architect at NSPL, said the 25 MW phase is structured as a bankable unit intended for disciplined, scalable deployment. The company has filed a U.S. Non-Provisional Patent application covering the hybrid Stirling-thermal architecture and modular integration sequencing.

NSPL has initiated discussions with US-based fabrication firms and infrastructure capital providers to support the pre-construction phase. The company aims to reduce dependence on long-lead turbine procurement by using its hybrid solar-thermal architecture for grid stability and dispatchable renewable power.
