ProEnergy is working toward a U.S. listing that could reach a $50 billion valuation, people with knowledge of the matter said. One of them put the potential range around $40 billion to $50 billion, depending on market conditions. The discussions are ongoing and private.
Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are advising on the IPO. The lineup is not final, the people added, and the syndicate could expand as details evolve. ECP, which acquired roughly 60% of ProEnergy in 2024 for about $275 million, may also consider selling the business instead of taking it public, a different person said.
Representatives for ECP, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan had no comment. A ProEnergy spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment right away.

Per its website, ProEnergy is targeting the surge in electricity needs from data centers and promoting its natural gas equipment as a bridge while coal plants retire and renewable projects are still being built. The company's PE6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is described as capable of supplying enough power for 40,000 homes.
In April, ProEnergy announced an agreement with artificial intelligence infrastructure firm Crusoe to support its data center buildout, a package that includes 13 of the PE6000 turbines.
If ProEnergy lists, it would join a cohort of offerings tied to the AI buildout theme. Results after debut have been uneven. Among this year's 10 biggest U.S. IPOs, half are tied to the AI data-center buildout, and several have fallen behind post-listing. Innio NV and Madison Air Solutions Corp. are each down at least 11% from offerings that raised more than $2.5 billion apiece.
Electricity demand is rising in parallel with a broader shift toward an electric-based economy - spanning EVs, autonomy, and robotics on the factory floor. A Boston Consulting Group report estimates almost $6 trillion could flow into the U.S. economy from 2025 to 2029, with part of that directed at electrification. For everyday investors, that backdrop explains why assets tied to reliable power and grid buildout keep popping up in headlines, even if IPO pops are no sure thing.
