The facility places the company in one of the country’s most active energy corridors, positioning it closer to engineering talent, industrial customers and a rapidly expanding market for distributed power systems. The move reflects AB Energy USA’s plans to scale its operations as electricity demand increases across sectors ranging from manufacturing to digital infrastructure.
The company has operated in the U.S. since 2014 and has developed projects across multiple industries, including wastewater treatment, agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing. Its portfolio focuses on combined heat and power (CHP) systems that allow facilities to produce electricity and usable thermal energy simultaneously.
AB Energy also integrates renewable natural gas into many of its installations, helping customers reduce emissions while maintaining reliable energy supply.
The new headquarters will serve as the central hub for AB Energy’s North American subsidiaries and commercial operations.
Located in The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway, the office occupies roughly 11,000 square feet of Class A space and will house corporate leadership, engineering coordination and project management functions. Consolidating these activities in one location is intended to support the company’s growing U.S. project pipeline.
The Texas base is also expected to support workforce expansion. Company leadership anticipates adding about 45 positions in 2026, with roughly 30 additional roles projected annually over the next five years. These positions will primarily support engineering design, equipment integration and long-term system service.
The location near Houston also places the company closer to one of the largest concentrations of energy industry expertise in the country, which could help with recruitment and partnership opportunities as distributed energy markets expand.
Interest in distributed power systems has increased as industries look for ways to improve energy resilience and manage rising electricity demand.
Cogeneration systems — commonly referred to as CHP — generate electricity and capture heat that would otherwise be wasted. That recovered heat can be used for industrial processes, building heating or agricultural operations, improving overall energy efficiency compared with traditional grid-supplied power.
AB Energy USA has deployed natural gas and biogas-based cogeneration projects across several sectors. Renewable natural gas sourced from agricultural waste and wastewater treatment facilities is also becoming a larger component of the company’s project pipeline.
One of the fastest-growing areas of demand is digital infrastructure. The company reports securing projects totaling around one gigawatt of power generation capacity tied to data centers supporting artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
These projects typically rely on large-scale gas engine systems to provide reliable power for energy-intensive computing facilities. As AI-driven computing expands, many data center developers are exploring localized power generation that can be deployed faster than traditional grid upgrades.
AB Energy says the combination of on-site power generation, engineering integration and long-term service capabilities positions it to support customers looking for reliable energy supply while managing emissions and operational efficiency.
