    Caterpillar Power Division Hits $8.2B Revenue Driven by Data Center Turbine Demand

    Question

    Caterpillar Power Division Hits $8.2B Revenue Driven by Data Center Turbine Demand

    Direct answer

    Caterpillar power and energy business has scaled rapidly to equal the size of its core construction machinery operations. The division delivered $8.2 billion in revenue and $2.0 billion in operating profit during the latest quarter. Growth is driven by hyper-scaler procurement of prime and standby power generation units to bypass transmission connection delays. Caterpillar total order backlog sits at $72 billion as utilities and technology operators lock in turbine delivery slots.
