Data Center Solutions
Scale designs, builds, owns, and operates advanced on-site energy systems for data centers that ensure industry standard reliability and speed-to-power.
The Speed-to-Power Challenge
The data centers at the heart of the fast-growing AI economy require an enormous amount of reliable power capacity – but in many cases utilities are unable to provide that power on a timeframe that matches the urgency of the opportunity.
Unprecedented Growth
This is the first major demand growth utilities have seen in decades, with over 245 GW of planned data centers currently in the pipeline.
Long (and Longer) Delays
Wait times for grid interconnections for data centers have escalated from several years to 10 years or more in some regions.
A Long-Term Problem
Fundamental issues are driving these delays, including over 2.5 terawatts of new generation stuck in backlogged interconnection queues.

Advantages of Scale's Approach
Scale delivers on the core speed-to-power and reliability priorities of data center operators, while also providing opportunities for additional value from the integration of multiple types of distributed energy resources (DERs).
Proven Solutions to Meet the Moment
Scale is differentiated in the market by our proven experience delivering a full range of advanced microgrid solutions, enabling us to design solutions tailored to the specific needs of large data centers with rapidly-fluctuating AI loads.
Multi-Asset Microgrids
In addition to an extensive track record of delivering generator-only prime power projects, Scale has industry-leading expertise in the integration of fuel-based generators with multiple types of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as battery storage and solar PV to provide additional reliability, cost, and sustainability benefits.
Grid-Tied or Off-Grid
Depending on power requirements and local grid availability, Scale can design projects that either provide supplemental capacity for a grid-tied facility or operate entirely off-grid. Off-grid projects can also be built with the flexibility to connect to the grid at a later date if desired.
Expansion-Ready
The modular architecture of Scale’s microgrids allow for the design of projects that are built to expand in capacity alongside anticipated growth in power needs for a given data center campus.
