Skeleton Technologies, a global leader in mission-critical power solutions, is accelerating its expansion in the United States as demand for AI infrastructure strains power grids nationwide. To support the growing demand for solutions, the company is opening a new engineering facility in Houston, Texas, placing Skeleton at the center of AI and energy infrastructure development in the U.S.
Data center power consumption in the U.S. is projected to more than double by the end of the decade. AI data centers are not only energy-intensive but also have highly variable power profiles, creating sharp demand spikes that grid infrastructure is not designed to handle. This strain increases the risk of outages and forces utilities to build more power plants and upgrade equipment, which can drive higher electricity prices.
Skeleton’s solutions enable AI data centers to smooth out their power demand profiles and reduce energy consumption by up to 45 percent. As a result, Skeleton significantly reduces the burden that AI data centers place on the electric grid and enables data center operators to extract more computing power with a lower energy footprint.
“Access to reliable power is increasingly becoming the primary bottleneck for AI infrastructure expansion in the United States,” said Taavi Madiberk, CEO and co-founder of Skeleton Technologies. “The unprecedented level of electricity demand and grid strain—especially from AI data centers—makes the U.S. our fastest-growing market by far and is driving massive opportunity for Skeleton Technologies. We’re moving quickly to build local manufacturing, strengthen customer relationships, and position ourselves as a strategic partner in America’s energy security and AI competitiveness.”
The U.S. is already a core market for Skeleton, with more than 100 MW of systems deployed and operating across the country. Approximately half of the company’s revenue is generated from North American customers. For example, Skeleton powers the push-to-pass function in every IndyCar vehicle, ensures engine starting with supercapacitor modules for a large global truck OEM in the U.S., supplies energy modules for Amtrak trains in partnership with Siemens Mobility US, and delivers solutions to a leading nuclear fusion company. Skeleton also has longstanding strategic supplier relationships with GE Vernova and GE Healthcare.
As the next step in its expansion, Skeleton will establish manufacturing capacity for AI data center solutions in the U.S. in the first half of 2026. In doing so, Skeleton will support key national objectives to onshore energy storage manufacturing and accelerate AI data center deployment to improve global competitiveness. Skeleton’s technology is based on a proprietary material called Curved Graphene and requires zero lithium, cobalt, manganese, or other critical raw materials, enabling secure and scalable production without reliance on China-centric supply chains.
Skeleton's Houston engineering facility and upcoming U.S. manufacturing presence follows closely on the opening of two major European factories in November 2025, including a $270 million factory in Germany and a $60 million facility in Finland. With $400 million in capital from leading investors such as Siemens and Marubeni, these initiatives reflect the company’s rapid scale-up to meeting growing global demand for mission-critical power solutions.
