San Antonio, Texas — April 20, 2026 — HC Capital Partners today announced that HC Infrastructure Partners, its operating platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with GigaCore Power and its Founder and CEO, David Rodarte, to develop scalable behind-the-meter power infrastructure solutions supporting data centers, artificial intelligence compute, crude oil and natural gas operations and other high-demand industrial applications. GigaCore Power focuses on turnkey behind-the-meter natural gas generation solutions designed for enterprise data centers, sovereign compute environments, and co-development partners requiring reliable energy supply independent of traditional grid interconnection constraints.
The partnership combines HC Infrastructure’s capabilities across natural gas supply, midstream infrastructure development, and power-linked microgrid deployment with GigaCore Power’s specialized expertise in designing integrated behind-the-meter generation solutions for hyperscale and high-performance computing environments.
“We’re extremely excited to have David join as a partner of HC Capital Partners and as COO of HC Infrastructure Partners. David and the GigaCore Power team bring significant technical expertise and market insight to the development of behind-the-meter power solutions,” said Herb Chambers IV, Managing Partner of HC Capital Partners. “As demand for reliable power continues to accelerate, we believe the ability to integrate fuel supply infrastructure with scalable power generation solutions represents an important capability in supporting next-generation digital infrastructure and continued crude oil and natural gas development.”
“HC Infrastructure’s experience developing natural gas and midstream infrastructure creates a strong foundation and alignment for delivering integrated power solutions,” said David Rodarte, Founder and CEO of GigaCore Power. “Together, we are focused on building infrastructure platforms capable of delivering reliable, efficient power to support rapidly growing compute demand.”
Together, HC Infrastructure and GigaCore Power intend to develop a portfolio of power-linked infrastructure assets designed to deliver reliable, dispatchable, behind-the-meter energy solutions directly to high-demand end users across multiple U.S. markets
Complementary Capabilities Create Competitive Advantage
HC Infrastructure brings deep experience across natural gas, crude oil, water, and power-linked infrastructure development. The firm’s integrated platform allows for coordinated development of fuel supply, pipeline interconnections, and generation infrastructure supporting scalable energy delivery solutions.
GigaCore Power contributes specialized technical expertise in behind-the-meter generation architecture, equipment integration, and development of high-reliability power solutions designed to meet the performance requirements of AI-driven compute environments.
A key competitive advantage of the partnership is the ability to secure, procure, and package critical turbine and other power generation equipment in advance of traditional procurement timelines. By proactively sourcing and structuring equipment supply, HC Infrastructure and GigaCore Power seek to reduce delivery risk, improve project timelines, and provide greater certainty to customers requiring reliable power capacity.
The firms believe equipment availability and supply chain visibility represent a critical differentiator as demand for dispatchable power continues to increase across digital infrastructure markets.
