Scaling Up: Modular Power Solutions for a Hyperscaler in the Netherlands

Data centre projects require meticulous planning and attention to detail. Hyperscale data centre projects require this to extremes. These attentive qualities were demonstrated by our AVK projects and business services divisions. AVK were contracted to work on a hyperscale data centre project in the Netherlands, that faced unique logistical and technical challenges. AVK were called upon to design and deliver modular generator solutions that could overcome transport restrictions, meet tight delivery schedules, and ensure seamless commissioning. With contributions from all divisions in business services, the result was a containerised system built on collaboration, expertise, and transparency. This truly sets a benchmark for future European projects.

Data Centre Dispatchable Capacity: A Major Opportunity for Europe’s Energy Transition

Europe's energy landscape is at a crossroads, facing unprecedented power demands, driven by AI. A new research paper, a collaboration between AVK and Wärtsilä, presents a compelling vision for how data centre microgrids can become a cornerstone of Europe's energy transition. By leveraging dispatchable power, data centre microgrids can save public sector grid infrastructure capex, curb emissions, minimise wasted energy, and provide a balanced and cost-effective pathway to net zero.
