Most of a building's electrical service is underutilized. Blue Frontier's exciting, ultra-efficient, energy-storing air conditioners free up enough electrical capacity to run data centers without throttling — with no utility upgrade and no interconnection queue. Below is an example of how we do it.
Here's a real 800,000 sq ft mall and how much electricity it pulls every hour of the year. It spikes on hot summer afternoons and runs low the rest of the time — very low during nighttime hours. Yet the building has to pay for enough power infrastructure to cover those peaks.
Now line up all 8,784 hours from the highest demand to the lowest. A pattern jumps out: the building only needs its full power for a handful of hours a year. The rest of the time, most of its electrical capacity goes unused.
Couldn't we put that unused capacity to work?
A data center can't be installed because it would surpass the existing service capacity - most of which is reserved for air conditioners.
To stay under the limit, the data center must throttle down 47% of the year, mostly during daytime hours. Roughly 10,000 MWh of compute potential is thrown away annually. A battery is not a solution because it cannot recharge fast enough overnight without exceeding the building's electrical capacity. A data center that's always slowing down reduces its value considerably.
Blue Frontier's existing air conditioning products store energy for cooling, providing up to 8 hours of air conditioning with minimum electricity consumption, eliminating 97% of the peak load. That reshapes the building's demand to a lower baseline, opening up 4 MW of electrical capacity and saving roughly 6,000 MWh of electricity a year.
Go faster. Now a full-power data center fits in an existing building. No utility upgrade, no interconnection queue.
Blue Frontier prevents data-center throttling, so the data center runs at full power instead of throttling 47% of the year. Over 10 years that's $90M to $370M in additional revenue, depending on the GPU workload.
That's roughly $900k–$3.6M per Blue Frontier unit — while giving the building something it needs: air conditioning.
From a year of a building's power, to ranking the hours, to a full-power data center that fits — all on the grid the building already has.
Blue Frontier lets you add a data center to the building you already have — no utility upgrade, no waiting in the interconnection queue — while cutting energy use and keeping tenants comfortable. Tell us about your building and we'll show you how much capacity it's hiding.
