ProPetro Announces ProPWR℠ Power Generation Business

ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PUMP) today announced a new subsidiary, ProPetro Energy Solutions, LLC, that will do business as ProPWR^SM (pronounced as “Pro – power”) and its initial order of over 110 megawatts of mobile natural gas-fueled power generation equipment for use across multiple oilfield and industrial applications.

Sam Sledge, CEO of ProPetro, stated, "We are thrilled to announce our first organic service line startup in over a decade, a testament to our willingness to innovate and draw on our entrepreneurial roots. ProPWR^SM is aimed squarely at the growing power demand across the Permian Basin for both oil and gas and developing infrastructure opportunities within the market, and to create more certainty of power generation capacity for our high-performance FORCE^® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing fleets. We have assembled a first-class team led by industry veterans Travis Simmering, President of ProPWR^SM, and Dave Bosco, Vice President of Technical Services, who are managing our operations and commercial efforts. By leveraging ProPetro’s established platform and extensive customer base, they are well-positioned to drive our success. As always, we will be focused on premium service quality and reliability paired with commercial creativity and innovation that all our stakeholders have come to expect from ProPetro.”

Travis Simmering, President of ProPWR^SM, commented, "We are excited to provide a differentiated power generation experience in the Permian Basin. The forecasted load growth for electricity is significant and these assets will enable ProPetro to access growth markets, inclusive of supporting ProPetro’s industry-leading and expanding FORCE^® electric-powered hydraulic fracturing services which are currently utilizing approximately 140 megawatts of mobile power generation capacity and growing. Our focus is initially on oilfield power applications, but we fully intend to build a platform that will be highly competitive in serving non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers that we believe are likely to gravitate towards the Permian Basin. The combination of these mobile power generation assets along with ProPetro’s established reputation as a leading service provider positions ProPWR^SM to capitalize on growing market demand in the basin. With this initial order of over 110 megawatts of mobile power generation assets, we are poised to execute on our strategy of becoming the premier mobile power services provider in the Permian Basin.”

This growth capital investment of approximately $122 million will be funded through a combination of cash and external financing resources with equipment deliveries anticipated to take place between June 2025 and March 2026. The cash investment will consist of up to approximately $20 million in early 2025 with the remaining cost of the investment expected to be financed as progress payments become due and deliveries ultimately occur commencing mid-2025. The Company anticipates deploying these initial assets promptly following their delivery commencing mid-2025 and early into 2026 under contracts, some of which are currently being proposed or negotiated. The Company aims to build a diverse portfolio of mobile power generation and related equipment, expanding well beyond the initial 110 megawatts.
