The problem
Data centres need a lot of electricity, around the clock, and demand keeps rising.
Strained local grids
A large new data centre can draw as much power as a town. That load lands on grids that also serve homes and businesses.
Gas as the stopgap
When the grid can't keep up, the quick fix is often on-site natural gas generation, which adds emissions for as long as it runs.
Growth on hold
Waiting for grid connections and capacity slows down projects that communities and businesses are counting on.
What we do
We develop solar generation built around the needs of a data centre, so the facility brings its own clean power instead of taking it from its neighbours.
Dedicated solar
Solar capacity sized and sited for a specific data centre.
Less load on the grid
Supply that eases the pressure on local utilities and the people they serve.
An alternative to gas
A path to new capacity that doesn't depend on burning fossil fuels.
