AI & Data Centers

Your campus is only worth the megawatts you can actually power.

Demand is doubling, the queue says five years, and every minute of downtime costs more than the last. Power brings generation, storage, and resilience on-site — so capacity stops being a constraint and starts being an asset.

The stakes

The grid can't keep its promises.

By 2030 global data centers will draw an estimated 945 TWh — equivalent to Japan's entire electricity consumption today. The transmission system isn't being built fast enough to match.

What we deliver for data centers

01 · Generation

On-site generation

Solar, storage, and kinetic generation co-located with the load — megawatts you control, ahead of the queue.

02 · Microgrid

Microgrid & islanding

A campus microgrid that rides through grid events and optimizes against demand and time-of-use charges.

03 · Resilience

Critical-load backup

N+1 / 2N-aligned backup that keeps every rack powered — because $540K/hour leaves no room for a gap.

04 · Procurement

24/7 carbon-free energy

Hourly-matched clean energy and PPA strategy to meet hyperscaler 24/7 CFE commitments.

05 · Reporting

Scope 2 & sustainability

Monitoring and reporting that stands up to procurement, sustainability, and customer ESG review.

06 · Strategy

Interconnection & site strategy

Capacity, stranded-power, and crypto-to-AI retrofit strategy for power-constrained sites.

Questions engineering & site teams ask

Straight answers, in numbers.

How do we power an AI training cluster when the grid says no?
On-site generation plus storage in a campus microgrid lets you bring capacity online ahead of the interconnection queue, then optimize against demand charges and meet carbon commitments. We design for the high-density, liquid-cooled load profile of modern GPU clusters.
What does data-center downtime actually cost?
Industry data puts 2025 downtime near $9,000 per minute — about $540K per hour, or $4.3M for a single 8-hour event. That math is why critical-load resilience is an investment, not an expense.
Can on-site power help with interconnection delays?
Yes. When the queue stretches to five years and up to 20% of planned projects face transmission-driven delay, on-site generation and microgrid capacity let you energize load on your timeline rather than the utility's.
How do we hit 24/7 carbon-free energy targets?
We pair on-site solar and storage with hourly-matched procurement and PPA strategy, then report against the 24/7 CFE framework so sustainability and procurement teams can stand behind the numbers.
