Data Centers

The explosion of AI and digital infrastructure is driving unprecedented demand for data centers—larger, faster, and more power-hungry than ever before. Hyperscale development is no longer optional—it’s essential to support everything from cloud computing to real-time machine learning. But with utility grids already stretched thin, powering these facilities has become one of the industry’s biggest challenges. Traditional utilities often can’t deliver the necessary capacity, can’t guarantee future availability, and leave developers exposed to unpredictable, variable energy costs. In many cases, the inability to secure reliable power has even prevented developers from obtaining the permits required to build.

ESC delivers secure, scalable, and cost-predictable power solutions for data centers of all sizes—whether connected to the grid, partially independent, or fully autonomous. Using our Smart Power Framework, we design data-driven systems that ensure resilience and reliability, from small edge deployments to 1+ gigawatt hyperscale campuses and beyond.

But at ESC, power is just the beginning. We offer full-scope delivery for data center infrastructure—from site preparation and facility construction to external and internal security, mechanical systems, and everything under the floor. Our team ensures that no critical detail is overlooked—from fiber connectivity and HVAC integration to cybersecurity and environmental controls. Whether it's a greenfield hyperscale build or a retrofit of an existing structure, we bring deep technical expertise and programmatic discipline to every phase of the project. The result: fast, secure, and scalable deployments built for long-term performance.

Greenfield Development

ESC brings unmatched experience in developing data centers from the ground up. We start with fully entitled property, ensuring all land use and zoning approvals are in place before any shovel hits the ground. From there, we manage all aspects of permitting, utility coordination, and fiber connectivity—making sure every foundational detail is accounted for. Our team works closely with local agencies and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to avoid delays and streamline project timelines.

From concept to commissioning, we plan for today—and design for tomorrow. Our greenfield data center solutions include site-specific power strategies with built-in scalability, ensuring your facility can grow to meet future compute demands. Whether you're building a 10 MW edge facility or a 1+ GW hyperscale campus, ESC provides the project leadership, technical expertise, and infrastructure know-how to deliver high-performance results.

Retrofit & Conversion

For clients looking to adapt existing structures into mission-critical data centers, ESC delivers turnkey retrofit solutions. We begin with a comprehensive site assessment—evaluating structural capacity, electrical and cooling systems, fiber access, and zoning constraints. From there, we develop a tailored roadmap that transforms underutilized assets into high-performance digital infrastructure.

We specialize in providing behind-the-meter power generation and storage that takes your facility fully off-grid. Our systems are designed for reliability, resilience, and long-term cost control—ensuring your data center is independent, secure, and ready for future demands. Coupled with modern HVAC integration, cybersecurity, and facility controls, we bring data center functionality to even the most unconventional spaces—without compromise.

At ESC, we go beyond the walls and wires. Our data center solutions include integrated services that enhance security, performance, and user control—without adding complexity. From physical perimeter protection and facility access control to advanced cybersecurity and network hardening, we help clients secure their operations from the ground up.

We also develop custom operating systems tailored to each deployment. These systems are built around the specific needs of your facility—enabling intelligent monitoring, automation, and optimization across power, cooling, security, and communications. It’s all part of our commitment to delivering not just facilities, but fully operational, secure environments ready for whatever comes next.
