Edged Energy, a leading developer of sustainable data centers, has officially broken ground on a cutting-edge facility in Mesa, Arizona. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to revolutionize digital infrastructure, focusing on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Thanks to Edged Energy’s innovative cooling and power management technologies, the Mesa data center is designed to operate with significantly less power consumption than traditional facilities. By utilizing advanced cooling technologies, the data will minimize the energy needed for heat dissipation, aligning with Edged’s sustainability goals and commitment to conserving vital resources in the arid Arizona environment.

“The rise of AI and machine learning is requiring more power, and often more water, to cool outdated servers. While traditional data centers struggle to adapt, Edged facilities are ready for the advanced computing of today and tomorrow without consuming any water for cooling,” said Bryant Farland, Edged CEO. “Sustainability is at the core of our platform. It is why our data centers are uniquely optimized for energy efficiency and water conservation. We are excited to be partnering with local communities to bring future-proof solutions to a growing digital economy.”  

Arizona, particularly Mesa, is becoming a hub for high-tech facilities, and Edged Energy’s choice of location underscores the state’s growing reputation as an attractive site for data center development. The area provides an optimal blend of infrastructure, renewable energy sources, and a climate conducive to the company’s energy-efficient technologies. Once operational, this facility will contribute to the local economy by creating construction jobs and offering long-term employment opportunities.

Edged Energy aims to have the facility up and running by late 2025. With this development, the company joins the ranks of other tech giants focusing on sustainability and green energy in the industry. Notably, Edged Energy’s Mesa center will seek to meet some of the highest standards in eco-friendly data center operations, achieving near-zero emissions through its power usage effectiveness (PUE) target of 1.15.

As the demand for data storage continues to soar, the importance of sustainable data center operations becomes more critical. Edged Energy’s groundbreaking approach in Mesa could set a new standard for future data centers, demonstrating that digital expansion and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
