Data Center Energy Solutions

Data center requirements for highly reliable and large-scale power sources to feed today's growing need for information and machine learning challenge traditional electricity grids and require new creative power solutions. Given decreasing availability of large-scale power from utilities and long lead times for new interconnections, data centers require creative power solutions that can be quickly scaled to meet growing market needs. Connecting to utility distribution systems is no longer an easy button solution and connecting to wholesale grids can take over 5 years.

GreenSky is working with leading providers to structure and deploy onsite generation solutions using clean burning natural gas to meet the power needs of new data centers within 2 years. Solutions that scale with data site development can provide the speed to power necessary to stay ahead of the growing need for cloud and AI storage and computing capacity.

Speed to power solutions require the integration of numerous co-located assets and transactions:

Power Generation Assets including modular simple cycle units for initial power needs and large-scale efficient combined cycle units for long-term cost effective solutions
Interconnections and Substations necessary for grid interconnection providing redundancy and export potential for excess generation
Natural Gas Laterals connected to upstream pipelines and supply sources to fuel generating units
Pipeline Firm Transport Capacity to ensure reliable access to supply sources
Natural Gas Supply Transactions with capable suppliers under protective contract terms and low market-based prices
Power Supply Transactions for any grid power available following grid expansion and interconnection

GreenSky provides energy due diligence to aid in the selection of a data center site and works with its data center clients to structure all asset and supply transactions, select highly qualified providers and manage the integration of solution to ensure power is available when needed.
