Wyoming Hyperscale's Innovative Approach to Sustainable Data Center Infrastructure

A holistic and innovative response to the multifaceted thermal challenges facing data center infrastructure today.

The Debate

The debate between opting for greenfield (building new from scratch) or brownfield (upgrading existing sites) projects has taken center stage. This discourse gains complexity with the onset of new generation microchips and denser racks that necessitate more efficient cooling solutions, potentially rendering older infrastructures obsolete. This challenge is further exacerbated by the upcoming efficiency regulations in countries like Germany, set to take effect in 2026, and the surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that have precipitated a power crisis. Amid these developments, Wyoming Hyperscale presents an avant-garde solution that not only addresses these burgeoning issues but also sets a precedent for the future of data center ecosystems.

Greenfield vs. Brownfield: Wyoming Hyperscale's Strategic Choice

Wyoming Hyperscale has chosen to embark on a greenfield project, a decision that seems judicious given the current landscape. With a typical retrofit of an existing data center taking anywhere between 12 to 24 months—comparable to the 20-month timeline for constructing our project based on a complete subcontractor and materials supplier rebid by our general contractor in December 2023—Wyoming Hyperscale’s choice eliminates the myriad challenges associated with upgrading older infrastructures. This approach is not only timely, considering the impending regulatory changes and technological advancements but also strategic, as it aligns with the financial and operational preferences of long-term offtakers.

Advanced Liquid Heat Transfer {aka Cooling} Infrastructure

Through its greenfield project, Wyoming Hyperscale is poised to redefine industry standards, setting a new benchmark for efficiency, sustainability, and technological integration. As the demand for AI and data processing continues to soar, Wyoming Hyperscale’s model offers a glimpse into the future of data centers, one that harmonizes growth with environmental stewardship and resource efficiency via zero water consumption plant designs.

Power Supply Stability and Sustainability

Recognizing the critical role of power supply in data center operations, Wyoming Hyperscale has secured a robust energy framework, featuring a 120MW contracted utility power and ambitious plans for 1GW of distributed generation development. This initiative not only guarantees a stable and reliable power supply but also underscores Wyoming Hyperscale’s commitment to integrating renewable energy sources into its operations. Furthermore, we recently accepted pricing and are working on a non-binding letter of intent for 100MW of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) nuclear power. This planning highlights an innovative approach to meeting the high energy demands of data centers while adhering to sustainability goals.

Addressing the Dense Accelerated Computing {aka AI} Infrastructure Challenge

The AI sector’s explosive growth has precipitated a significant strain on power resources, with data centers at the epicenter of this challenge. Wyoming Hyperscale's strategic location in a power-rich region, combined with its comprehensive power generation and cooling strategies, positions it as a pivotal solution to the infrastructure problem plaguing the AI industry. By leveraging next-generation technologies and sustainable practices, Wyoming Hyperscale not only mitigates the risk of destabilizing the grid but also contributes to a more sustainable and efficient data center ecosystem, with food security benefit investments specifically for our host community - our neighbors, friends and extended family for the last 155 years.

Summary

Wyoming Hyperscale’s approach exemplifies a holistic and innovative response to the multifaceted challenges facing data center infrastructure today. Through its greenfield project, Wyoming Hyperscale is poised to redefine industry standards, setting a new benchmark for efficiency, sustainability, and technological integration. As the demand for AI and data processing continues to soar, Wyoming Hyperscale’s model offers a glimpse into the future of data centers, one that harmonizes growth with environmental stewardship and resource efficiency!
