Power-Backed Data Center Operations

Build and lease a secure, Tier 4-capable data center. Power is generated on-site using renewable or advanced technologies (e.g., biomass, induction, microgrid). Reduce reliance on utility grid—achieve energy autonomy or islanding capability.​

 

Energy Cost Control & Margin Expansion

Lock in or reduce energy costs vs volatile utility pricing. Improved Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) through customized load/power matching. ​Long-term cost predictability enhances customer confidence and operational planning.

​​

Power-as-a-Service (PaaS) or Energy Arbitrage

Sell excess power back to the grid or nearby users (if permitted by regulation). Or, offer energy-inclusive pricing to colocation and cloud tenants, differentiating from traditional data centers. Optional tiered pricing based on SLA-backed power reliability (e.g., 100% uptime, EMP-protected).

​

Sustainability as a Differentiator

Market as a green, ESG-compliant data center with low or negative net emissions. Attract ESG-conscious customers (enterprise, AI firms, federal agencies). Potential eligibility for carbon credits, tax incentives, and green financing.​

 

Real Estate & Infrastructure Monetization

Utilize existing or underused infrastructure (e.g., former military bases) for tax advantages and cost savings. Lease capacity to hyperscalers, defense contractors, or AI firms with high-density needs.​

 

Edge or Regional Computing Hub

Address power and latency limitations in underserved areas (like Michigan’s Upper Peninsula). Serve as a regional cloud edge or AI inference hub, reducing load on distant data centers.
