From an energy perspective, you need to take an all of the above approach.

Bloomberg Tech

So absolutely, you need solar and storage, but gas is a very important part of the solution as well.

Bloomberg Tech

Look at Copia, for example.

We think of data center development as building large campuses.

Bloomberg Tech

And a campus is basically like a mini city that has multiple gigawatts of power generation capacity.

Bloomberg Tech

This includes gas, solar, as well as storage.

That capacity is connected onto the grid and located right next to that power generation capacity are hyperscale data centers.

Bloomberg Tech

that are also connected to the grid.

And by doing that, you're making sure that data centers are getting access to power in a more timely manner.

But more importantly, it's also more reliable power.

Bloomberg Tech

Everyone's talking about 5-9 reliability, which is 99.999%.

Bloomberg Tech

In order to do that and build long-lived infrastructure assets, that reliability is just a very important point.

So at Copia, for example, we have a site that we're building in Arizona.
