While meeting carbon offset goals via renewable energy procurement is usually an afterthought in data center development, we’re addressing clean energy needs up front through unique renewable power arrangements. We call our approach “True Additionality™” because it adds net-new green electrons to the grid, giving our customers ready access to new sources of hourly, load following, carbon neutral energy. It’s a complete revisioning of data center energy supply, where we’ve pre-solved the challenge of carbon offset.
Formed in 2022 by James Trout, the founder of CoreSite and Vantage Data Centers, CleanArc has assembled an executive team who have designed, managed, and built over 2 gigawatts of state-of-the-art data center facilities. It’s through that hard-earned expertise that we’ve conceptualized a new approach to data center development and clean energy structuring, unbounded by “the way it’s always been done.”
