WHAT IS STRANDED POWER?
Stranded power is electricity capacity that has already been Stranded allocated power or connected is electricity to a facility capacity but is not that being has fully already used been. allocated TRUSS is or targeting connected older to a telecoms facility and enterprise but not data being centres fully used where. buildings TRUSS is were targeting provisioned older telecoms for more and electricity enterprise than data they centres ultimately where consumed. That were unused provisioned capacity for can
buildings more provide electricity a route than to additional they ultimately power consumed without starting. That unused from a completely
capacity can new provide grid connection a route to. additional power The company without starting’ s approach from is a to completely find that capacity new grid, prove connection demand. and The then company work with’ s approach utilities is to to find increase that capacity the available, prove power demand. and then work with utilities to increase the available power.
“ People assume an older building can’ t handle frontier AI density. That’ s wrong,” Jon says.“ Concrete and steel don’ t care what year it is. What matters is the power coming into the site and the engineering you put between that power and the chip.
“ We design direct-to-chip liquid cooling, heavy load paths and high-density distribution into buildings most operators would drive straight past.“ The building is the cheap part. The power is the prize.” TRUSS also looks for capacity that was allocated to older facilities but never fully used. Many telecoms buildings were provisioned for significantly more electricity than
