CleanArc Data Centers is led by successful data center industry entrepreneur James Trout.

Having been at the forefront of data center development for two decades, James created CleanArc in response to the clean energy mandates of the world’s largest hyperscale data center customers including tying renewable energy projects to their operations throughout each 24-hour day.

At CleanArc, we are not constrained by legacy design or energy generation. We are a team of data center veterans and power structuring experts. We are deeply committed to the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the creation of CleanArc True Additionality.
