Eco-friendly, high-density AI data centers with integrated power and liquid cooling
Build data centers designed for AI's high rack-power density, liquid cooling, high-voltage DC power, structural loads, noise, water use, and community impact. The model includes generating or securing power and potentially returning power to the grid.

Problem: Existing data centers face shortages of power and cooling, increasing rack density, outdated building designs, permitting barriers, limited grid capacity, and shortages of transformers, turbines, and qualified electrical workers.
For: Hyperscalers, frontier labs, AI-native companies, and other operators needing large-scale AI compute capacity.

Examples
- Data centers that generate their own power, provide power to the state during the day, and borrow power at night were cited as examples of a symbiotic operating model.
