Going Off The Grid: Delaware Data Center Will Generate its Own Power

There’s a major project brewing in Delaware, with a group called The Data Centers LLC (TDC) planning a sizeable data center near Newark. TDC says it is planning to invest more than $1 billion in the project, with construction alone for the first two phases expected to be around $400 million. The group wants to construct approximately 900,000 square feet of space. The massive project will also feature a large on-site energy component. The facility will draw no electricity from the Grid; instead, the plan is to sell Power back to the Grid. This means added redundancy will be built into the project. The plant consists of a proprietary configuration of natural gas turbines, steam turbines and gas engines, with two independent natural gas supply lines on site to provide the reliability to deliver uninterrupted, fault tolerant Power to the data center. Operating as a Grid-Free Island “The patent-pending design combines best-in-class data center energy efficiencies with the efficiencies of on-site cogeneration and tri-generation plants that can operate as an island without relying on the electrical Grid as a backup,” writes Bruce Myatt, CTO of The Data Centers , in a summary of the project. “That means that critical Power generation with gas turbines, steam turbines, and adsorption chillers back up one another to Power and cool the data center while excess Power can be supplied to the Grid to support demand response requirements.
