At CleanArc, we’ve created a first-of-its-kind solution that takes hyperscale data center development to a new level. Our team of data center veterans and power structuring experts has assembled the critical components — development at campus-scale, and in Tier 1 and Tier 1 Adjacent™ Markets. Renewable energy structuring for carbon offset goals, and “data center production” via innovative offsite manufacturing partnerships— into a turn-key solution for hyperscalers seeking to expand quickly, sustainably, and cost-efficiently.
A New Standard for Sustainable Data Center Infrastructure
In an industry where many talk about sustainability, CleanArc Data Centers leads with measurable action. Our proprietary True Additionality™ model ensures that every megawatt of energy consumed is matched with new clean energy that includes wind, solar and battery storage capacity added to the grid. This is carbon neutrality done right, meeting hourly demand with renewable supply. Our approach is more than green, it’s efficient. Through off-site manufacturing of critical mechanical and electrical systems, we accelerate deployment, reduce on-site construction impact and deliver energy-efficient data centers to market 15–25 percent faster than conventional builds.
True Additionality™ – Clean Energy That’s Truly Clean
True sustainability starts with authenticity. Our True Additionality™ model ensures that the renewable power serving our campuses comes from new generation capacity we help bring online, not from existing sources or unverified offsets. This guarantees genuine, measurable carbon reduction while meeting the round-the-clock demands of high-performance computing. Our clients gain the dual advantage of meeting ESG goals while securing reliable, cost-stable power for the long term.
Hyperscale Design – Built Faster, Built Smarter
Our Hyperscale Design approach uses advanced modular data center production and off-site manufacturing to speed deployment by 15–25 percent. This “data center production” model allows us to deliver pre-engineered, factory-tested systems to the site, reducing on-site complexity and risk. The result: faster commissioning, predictable quality, and scalable build-outs that keep pace with AI, cloud, and enterprise growth.
