APPLICATIONS

Drive economic value, accelerate time to power, and mitigate risk

Electric Era’s integrated solution drives economic value and accelerates time to power — both underpinned by the ability to mitigate risk by delivering up to 99.99% power availability.

Above-Grid Oversubscription

Most data centers treat oversubscription as a simple statistics problem. CoPower operates above the physical grid limit (without tripping NEC-mandated circuit protections). This allows data center operators to either mitigate risk with the same IT load, or keep the same risk profile and increase sellable IT load.

Flexible Interconnection

As more governing bodies roll out regulations around large load interconnections, data centers need flexible solutions to accelerate time to power. In ERCOT, for example, as a curtailable load resource (CLR), the data center’s full load doesn’t have to be curtailed; you can use appropriately-sized BESS to respond, when called by ERCOT, by discharging during specific windows.

Electric Era's software-defined approach means more flexibility and extensibility to rapidly meet new and changing flexible interconnection programs and accelerate time to power.

Up to 99.99% Power Availability

Legacy BESS solutions deliver supervisory systems to empower human observability and control with limited availability. Electric Era offers up to 99.99% guaranteed availability by deploying redundant capacity and delivering an autonomy-first platform (operations as a software problem) that is more scalable, more reliable, and makes smarter decisions faster.

Built for your flexible data center model

Neoclouds

With CoPower, Electric Era can deliver powered land to accelerate your timelines and get operations running in 12-18 months rather than 5-7+ years. As you scale, capitalize on energy arbitrage and demand charge mitigation to reduce energy costs and protect your margins.

CoLos

Make power a competitive advantage. Capacity "coming soon" isn't enough. CoPower lets you offer more compute density on the same grid connection, today. 99.99%+ power availability and sub-second response gives you an SLA story that legacy solutions can't match.

Single-Tenant

Win the anchor tenant with speed to power. When a single customer underwrites the whole facility, their move-in date is your revenue date. CoPower lets you guarantee firm capacity and energization schedules up front, so you can sign build-to-suit deals on the tenant's timeline.
