The best
interconnection queue
is no queue at all.
AnchorPower Energy delivers and orchestrates firm capacity to Edge data-center compute facilities in 18 months — not 7 years.

We deliver contracted, co-located firm power that bypasses the grid entirely.
Fastest time-to-power
Behind-the-meter power eliminates grid interconnection entirely. No queue. No interconnection study. No utility delays. First power in 18 months — versus 5–7+ years on the grid queue.
Genuinely DC. Firm.
Moving from AC-coupled on-site generation to a native-DC bus removes the inverter→transformer→rectifier round-trips that grid-coupled plants can’t avoid — recovering roughly 6–7 points of conversion loss (~11–12% → ~5%, modeled per stage) and the heat that comes with it. Future-proof 400V / 800V power, purpose-built for compute loads, targeting a PUE below 1.1.
Zero fuel. Zero stranding.
No gas risk. No fuel-cost escalation. No pipeline risk. Long-term take-or-pay PPAs lock in revenue for 15 years. The customer takes demand risk; we take weather risk. The power we deliver is clean and aligned with your ESG targets — zero-emission generation, contracted and verifiable.
Modular & pre-fabricated
Modular, containerized deployment lowers labour constraints and enables rapid build — cutting design, permitting, and construction time. Most of the system arrives pre-fabricated.
Can your AI roadmap afford a 7-year wait?
- PJM / ERCOT / SPP queue · interconnection studies
- Merchant price risk + fuel-cost escalation
- 300+ GW gas in development — only 5–8 GW contracted
- Co-located · private PPA · zero queue risk
- 15-year take-or-pay PPA · zero fuel cost
- Zero stranding risk · cost curve continues falling
Gas isn't the answer. It's the next stranded-asset bubble.
The U.S. now leads the world for gas-power development — over 1,000 GW planned. But under the surface, only 5–8 GW is contracted to a creditworthy off-taker. The rest is speculative, dependent on AI demand holding and turbine makers delivering on time.
One flagship. Two configurations. Every site has a path.
AnchorFirm is the primary product — the fully off-grid configuration. AnchorFlex and AnchorBridge adapt to sites whose load profile or timeline needs a different shape.
AnchorFirm
The fully off-grid configuration. On-site solar PV, BESS, firming and LDES* with optional backup deliver firm, contracted power to a distributed 50–100 MW Edge data-center site under a 15-year take-or-pay PPA. No grid interconnection. Modular and containerized — first power in 18–20 months.
AnchorFlex
The same co-located generation stack with an optional utility tie — for flexible loads, seasonal balancing, or regions where a grid connection is available but non-critical.
AnchorBridge
Bridging power for operators who cannot wait out the queue. Modular behind-the-meter generation and storage covers the gap between construction complete and permanent energization.
An AI agent that dynamically schedules GPU workloads against available on-site generation and storage — maximizing compute per dollar, across multiple sites.
Setting a new standard for contracted infrastructure.
Core architecture
We build what the system requires — long-term reliability and redundancy, efficiency (DC power for DC systems), optimal voltage at 400V → 800V, closed-loop water, and modular pre-fabricated systems. AnchorPower is the on-site generation layer — Block 1 of the emerging modular DC data-center stack defined by Tier-1 OEMs.
Parallel-path development
From modular power to containerized deployment, our systems are engineered and procured simultaneously with permitting and landowner negotiations — compressing the traditional 3–5 year pipeline to 12–14 months pre-construction.
15-year take-or-pay delivery
First power in 18–20 months under a negotiated take-or-pay PPA. The customer commits to capacity payments regardless of utilization. AnchorPower operates the asset and absorbs weather and production risk. No utility dependency, no FERC study, no interconnection queue — ever.
Adjacency-first siting
We can build in any U.S. state. We design custom power-delivery architectures matched to each customer's load profile and reliability requirements. Active proof-of-concept siting across Texas, Arizona, and Alberta.
Understand the landscape.
Short, technical explainers from the AnchorPower team on how distributed compute gets powered.
Edge vs. micro data centers: same direction, different layer.
Edge describes where a facility sits in the network — close to users, for latency. Micro describes what it physically is — a self-contained, prefabricated unit with power, cooling, and security built in. They overlap: micro data centers are often the building blocks deployed at the edge — and AI inference is scaling the edge tier from 1 MW sites toward 50–100 MW metro campuses. One thing both need: firm power, without the queue.
The window is open today.
Data-center AI capex in 2026 alone (Goldman Sachs). Power is the single largest unresolved constraint.
Gas in development; only 5–8 GW contracted. 60–75% stranded-asset probability by 2028–32 if AI demand softens.
PPA premium operators will pay for speed and firmness — 18-month delivery vs. a 7-year grid queue.
When operators finalize their 2027–28+ power strategies. The time to be at the table is now.
Seven signals. One direction.
