Privately-held

About Green Data:

  • Developing 3 solar-powered data centers for hyperscale compute in New Mexico and Texas, including the largest solar-powered data center in the Americas

  • Developing 1 solar panel racking manufacturing facility in a joint venture with 5B Holdings in New Mexico

  • Team has built $23+ billion of data centers for hyperscalers including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, including via Chief of Staff-level roles at these companies

  • Positioned at the key bottleneck in the data center industry - power generation (4-6 year wait for new industrial power grid connections across the USA)

  • “Up to the Rack” business model where company provides all infrastructure while tenants provide GPUs keeps company in the highest-margin stages of the value chain with the longest-lived, most-defensible assets

  • Building “Green from the Ground Up” to bypass scarce power and water resources while conventionally-designed data centers are rushing to complete costly retrofits due to power/water unavailability and community concerns over pollution

  • Proprietary SolarBlock microgrid solution enables clients to locate 5-10MW self-sustaining data centers that encompass solar power, battery storage and IT compute
