Energy Capacity Constraints

The United States’ energy grid faces increasing strain, compounded by the growing power demands of modern, high-density AI-ready data centers. Energy requirements for data processing are expected to double within seven years, driven by advancements in generative AI, the need for latency reduction, and new algorithms. With 97% of existing data center capacity already leased, future facilities must adopt self-sustaining power and water consumption models. The solution lies in utilizing local decentralized infrastructure, placing energy generation directly at the point of use to meet rising demand while alleviating pressure on the traditional grid.

SIDE Solution

Overwatch Capital’s solutions enable the Resilience Series data centers to operate independently of the strained national grid, providing a reliable and predictable energy supply for tenants through the use of natural gas as the primary power source. This approach allows Overwatch Capital to deploy facilities in energy-constrained markets, including primary and secondary data center markets across the nation, where other developers face limitations due to grid capacity challenges. Its clean energy bridge power facilities are designed with no single points of failure, ensuring reliable performance. These flexible solutions are tailored to meet specific needs, with systems constructed to Tier III standards or higher, targeting 99.999% uptime. Overwatch Capital’s data centers are designed with superior redundancy at the grid level, ensuring unmatched reliability. Powered primarily by natural gas, its facilities are independent of the aging and unreliable power grid. Secondary backup systems, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) designed for heavy AI workloads, provide an additional layer of resiliency for tenants.
