ii. Data Centers, Crypto & HPC

The most power-intensive buildings ever built need power that never stops.

Hyperscale data centers, crypto mining operations, and high-performance computing facilities are redefining what industrial power demand looks like. AI workloads, always-on uptime requirements, and rapidly growing load densities are pushing facilities toward energy profiles the utility grid was never designed to serve reliably or cheaply. Aurevia Energy builds behind-the-meter microgrid systems that reduce grid dependency, cut peak demand charges, and scale as compute load grows.

The Sectoral Reality

Compute load is rewriting the rules of industrial power.

Hyperscale and edge data centers face utility interconnection delays measured in years, rising energy costs, corporate sustainability mandates, and uptime requirements that make grid-only power an unacceptable single point of failure. Crypto and HPC operations face an even sharper version of the same problem — power cost is the single largest variable operating expense, and grid rate increases or curtailment events translate directly into compressed margins.

What both sectors share is a load profile that traditional commercial-utility procurement was never designed for: dense, continuous, growing, and unforgiving of interruption. The systems that serve these facilities have to be sized, controlled, and commissioned to a different standard than light commercial work.

Typical Load Profile: Continuous high-density loads, 5–100+ MW per site, with rapid growth as compute racks expand.
Primary Drivers: Grid interconnection delays, peak demand charges, sustainability mandates, uptime SLAs, IRA incentives.
System Configurations: Behind-the-meter solar, BESS for peak shaving and bridging, hybrid architectures with on-site generation.
Counterparties: Hyperscale operators, colocation providers, crypto mining operations, HPC and AI compute facilities.

The Aurevia Approach

Engineered for the demands this market actually has.

Compute facilities do not need a residential or light commercial version of solar-plus-storage. They need systems sized to the load profile they actually run, with the controls and headroom to accommodate the growth they actually expect.

Behind-the-meter as the default

Generation and storage placed inside the customer meter, sized against the facility's actual load profile. Reduces grid draw at peak, cuts demand charges, and provides the bridge capacity that uptime SLAs require.

ii.

Architecture sized for growth

Compute load expands. Aurevia's designs anticipate that — pad layout, electrical infrastructure, and BESS topology engineered so capacity additions are a phased build, not a system rebuild.

iii.

BESS as primary uptime asset

Lithium iron phosphate batteries sized for the bridge duration the SLA requires. Discharge rates from 0.25C through 1.0C+ depending on the duty cycle. Chemistry and topology selected for the actual application, not what is on the shelf.

iv.

IRA and incentive optimization

Domestic content, energy community, and prevailing wage credit pathways evaluated at the procurement stage. The system that gets built is the one that captures the credits the project qualifies for.

Scope & Deliverables

What a behind-the-meter compute system actually includes.

Whether the facility is a hyperscale data center, a crypto mining site, or an HPC compute cluster, the EPC scope below describes what Aurevia delivers under a typical contract.

i.

Load profile and interconnection analysis

Validated load data, grid-tie capacity review, demand charge modeling, and a written scope-of-work specifying system sizing and dispatch logic.
ii.

Solar PV array sized to the load

Ground-mount PV configured for site geometry and available land. Sized to offset baseload during the daylight envelope, with system capacity matched to the offtake economics of the specific site.
iii.

BESS sized for the duty cycle

Containerized LFP storage configured for peak shaving, demand response, or grid-loss bridging — sized against the actual application, not a generic resilience template.
iv.

Microgrid controls and dispatch logic

Integration platform managing PV, BESS, utility tie, and on-site generation. Dispatch logic tuned to the customer's economics: peak shaving, ancillary services, or facility-load following.
v.

Cybersecurity and SCADA integration

Controls network architecture appropriate to the customer's security posture. Read-only data exposure to facility BMS where required.
vi.

Performance verification and commissioning

Functional testing against modeled output, demand charge reduction validation, and formal handoff documentation. Performance data flows to the customer for ongoing facility analytics.

Fit & Differentiators

Why this work, for this firm.

Aurevia is built to deliver systems at the scale compute facilities actually run at. The factors below describe what makes the fit specific.

Load-Matched Sizing

Systems sized to the customer's validated load data, not a generic capacity template. The facility gets the system it needs, not the system the contractor is comfortable building.

Procurement Discipline

Tier-one OEM relationships and FEOC-compliant equipment selection. CATL, BYD, and other restricted components excluded from the bill of materials. IRA optimization built into the procurement strategy.

iii

Bondable Delivery

Investment-grade documentation, performance bonds where required, and the financial structure to execute multi-MW projects with the seriousness compute counterparties expect.
