GREEN power

Power – Guaranteed 100% Green and 99.999% Available

Open Origin will meet the rising demand for carbon-free power for modern data centers, seamlessly supporting breakthroughs in AI and emerging technologies. With its groundbreaking design, our Uninterruptible Power Plant (UPP) will redefine the future of scalable green energy, powering mission-critical infrastructure with unmatched reliability.

THE PROBLEM

Skyrocketing energy demand

Rising Electricity Demand for Data Centers: By 2030, data centers are projected to consume 12% of U.S. power, largely due to growth in AI-based facilities. R1

Distribution Power Grid Shortages: Inefficiencies in the outdated U.S. power grid limit its ability to support the increasing demand for data centers. Upgrading the infrastructure is expensive, slow, and disruptive. These limitations restrict innovation across industries, acting as a “speed limit for progress.” (Bloomberg).  

Reliability Problems: Data centers struggle to secure uninterrupted base-load power from the grid, forcing them to invest in backup equipment, microgrids, and operational infrastructure—essentially transforming into mini-utilities just to maintain reliable power.  

Growing Market Demand for Carbon-Free Power “Bring Your Own Power (BYOP)”: Customers, communities, and governments are asking all new data centers to bring their own sources of green power to meet the availability challenges. Securing continuous green energy is extremely challenging for data centers, forcing reliance on carbon offsets to approach sustainability targets, limiting data centers’ ability to achieve true emissions reductions. Even nuclear has a considerable carbon footprint due to the energy demands for uranium extraction and transportation.

OPEN ORIGIN SOLUTION

Uninterruptible power plant (UPP)

UPP - The first fully reliable, carbon-free power solution for data centers. Its modular design scales capacity as needed, enabling clients’ off-grid operation powered entirely by renewable energy. This solution eliminates the need for backup systems and ensures uninterrupted operation.  

Scalable Design, Rapid Deployment: With a modular design, our UPP allows for swift capacity expansion, effectively removing supply chain bottlenecks and enabling data center clients to grow seamlessly with rising demand.  

Eliminating Reliance on the Grid: Our UPP’s on-site energy infrastructure will generate power independently from public grids. We also offer colocation options at our sites with land available for sale or lease, empowering clients to build to their exact specifications, unimpeded by energy constraints.  

99.999% Guaranteed Reliable Power: Our UPP will deliver fully redundant, round-the-clock power. Its reliability eliminates the need for data centers to invest in backup power equipment such as generators and batteries, greatly reducing the capital cost of new data centers.  

100% Carbon Free Power: Open Origin’s UPP will be the first and only solution to ever provide 100% carbon-free power – with no scope 1 or scope 2 emissions, including the backup power – finally achieving the goal of completely carbon-free power.

Open Origin Value Proposition

Uninterrupted Off-Grid Power

Our UPP guarantees 99.999% “Five Nines” availability of off-grid power.  Using dual-redundant energy infrastructure and superconducting transmission to minimize losses on our micro-grid, we eliminate the need for backup infrastructure.

Faster Time-to-Operation and Scalability

Our UPP’s off-grid setup accelerates deployment, allowing new data centers to become operational in months rather than years. We will eliminate the delays typically caused by power allocations and utility company permitting. Additionally, our UPP will seamlessly scale power delivery to match our clients’ expanding power demands.

Fixed Cost

Offered through multi-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), we will provide a guaranteed service level of reliable power capacity at a fixed cost – with no additional charge for the energy consumed.

Community Empowerment and Energy Sovereignty

Our UPP will drive local economic growth through green energy independence, reducing the burden on power grids. By fostering public-private partnerships, we will create substantial economic opportunities and generate jobs across construction, maintenance, and operations, fueling carbon-free growth within the region.

100% Carbon-Free

Powered exclusively by renewable energy, our UPP has zero emissions and zero impact on public water resources. We reduce data centers’ carbon footprints while supporting carbon-free growth in data center expansion, carbon-free energy.

Colocation Available

Open Origin will provide land and infrastructure for new data center construction, enabling our datacenter clients to build to scale and specification without energy limitations.

Beyond Net Zero

Open Origin’s green data center solution provides a 100% renewable energy, carbon-free and reliable alternative to conventional power sources to meet the rising need for resilient and eco-friendly data infrastructure. We go beyond standard sustainability measures, eliminating reliance on carbon offsets or carbon capture. Our Uninterruptible Power Plant (UPP)'s on-site renewable energy eliminates traditional power grids, setting a new standard for sustainability, while driving economic growth, supporting communities, and safeguarding our natural resources.
