BKV signs $800M contract for 1,200 MW gas-fired power equipment; hyperscaler backstops 90% of near-term payments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Supply contract totals ~$800.0M for ~1,200 MW of gas-fired equipment (gas turbines, reheat steam turbines, HRSGs, distributed control system), delivered September 2028–May 2029.
- ~$200M of the contract price is due on or before March 31, 2027; a leading investment-grade hyperscaler backstops ~90% of it and is the intended offtaker.
- $80.0M in reservation fees already paid is credited against the price; the remainder is payable in installments from October 2026 through December 2028.
- BKV may terminate the contract for convenience with no further payment obligations if mutually agreeable offtake arrangements are not reached by March 31, 2027.
- CEO Chris Kalnin calls securing long-lead-time generation equipment "an important step" in BKV's power growth strategy spanning gas production, power and carbon capture.
