Bridge Power for Data Centers - Modular - Open and Combined Cycle Power Plant - Single Tenant; Four Buildings, 124 Mw It - Case Study
Beginning in 2021, a large colocation data center (colo) in Ireland had their local electrical utility severely limit new grid connection permits. The site had a power utility connection agreement in place for only part of their necessary campus demand. The utility advised of the potential for a new connection, but not until 2028.
- OWNER: Colocation, Single Hyperscaler Tenant
- LOCATION: Ireland, IE
- PRODUCT: Ten (10) x Titan™ 130 Gas Turbines
- CUSTOMER VALUE: Bridge Power, High Reliability, High Efficiency, Path to Zero-Carbon Power
The colo needed highly reliable and efficient on-site generation to meet the needs of their hyper-scaler customer and chose multiple Titan™ 130 generators from Solar Turbines as the basis for their continuous duty power solution. The campus consists of four buildings totaling 124 MW peak IT load with a design PUE of about 1.3.
Solar`s experience and capabilities were key in meeting the colo`s primary requirements of bridging the power utility gap while achieving low emissions, maintaining a grid-type cost of electricity, and providing a path to zero-carbon power.
