Multi-year high-efficiency engine long block supply agreement strengthens production roadmap and supports rapid deployment across data center and critical infrastructure markets. HOUSTON--()--October 07, 2026-- ERock, Inc. (NYSE: EROC), a leading provider of utility-grade onsite power solutions, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with HD Construction Equipment, a subsidiary of Hyundai, for a multi-year supply of high-efficiency natural gas engine long blocks for ERock's RockBlock generator. The agreement spans 2027 through 2028 and supports increased production while enhancing ERock's ability to fulfill large-scale customer orders for data centers, utilities, and other critical infrastructure operators. The engine long blocks, which form the core of ERock's proprietary natural gas generators, are engineered for reliability and performance in the hyperscale data center segment. By securing supply chain partnerships with proven manufacturers, ERock strengthens its ability to rapidly convert customer commitments into delivered power systems while maintaining the quality and operational standards that define its solution. "Long block supply is the foundation of our production and this agreement secures supply through 2028 as we ramp assembly capacity," said John Carrington, Chief Executive Officer of ERock. "With production commitments extending into early 2028, delivering on schedule for our customers depends on securing the long-lead components, and this agreement directly supports that. We view this agreement as a strong foundation to build on as our needs grow beyond 2028." Global data center power demand is accelerating as hyperscale operators expand capacity for AI infrastructure and advanced computing workloads. According to industry estimates, worldwide data center capital expenditures are expected to exceed $3 trillion by 2030, driving sustained demand for reliable power generation solutions. This announcement comes amidst a period of sustained strong commercial momentum for ERock, building on a track record that includes major data center contracts with the likes of Meta and Microsoft, more than 400 operational sites and approximately 1.1 GW of installed base.

Today's agreement marks an expansion of HD Construction Equipment supplying critical components to North America, the world's largest and fastest-growing data center market.
