VoltaGrid and Vantage Data Centers partner to deploy over 1GW of power capacity in North America.

VoltaGrid LLC and Vantage Data Centers formed a strategic alliance to deploy in excess of one gigawatt (GW) of power generation capacity within Vantage's North American data center network. The partnership will leverage VoltaGrid's natural gas microgrid technology to address the increasing energy requirements of hyperscalers and large cloud providers, without further loading grid systems. The aim is to provide energy solutions that are quick, efficient, and affordable for the growing data center sector.

Vantage Data Centers, with current 1,263 megawatts (MW) of capacity in the United States, has data center campuses in strategic locations like Santa Clara, Phoenix, New Albany, Ashburn, and Quincy. In Canada, it has campuses in Montreal and Quebec City, with other capacity in other parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Its overall global capacity exceeded 2.6 GW in 2024.

The alliance is focused on solving the enormous challenges of providing timely and scalable power to cloud and AI technology, which is growing fast. Dana Adams, President of North America Vantage Data Centers, highlighted the need for this partnership in breaking the power limitation barrier and allowing the industry to continue its high rate of growth. VoltaGrid's microgrid technology, both portable and fixed, is optimized to interface effectively with renewable energy sources such as hydrogen or renewable natural gas, delivering a flexible, sustainable means of powering mission-critical digital infrastructure.

The collaboration also takes advantage of VoltaGrid's emission management solutions to speed up permitting times, allowing quicker deployment of data center capacity. This transaction follows Vantage Data Centers securing a significant investment worth more than $13 billion in debt and equity capital earlier this year. The collaboration marks an important milestone toward solving the rising bottleneck of grid capacity for AI and hyperscale data center projects.
