Colorado-based Liberty Energy and California-based DC Grid announced a memorandum of understanding to deliver advanced power solutions that would support the growing energy demands of industries such as commercial fleet electric vehicle (EV) hubs and data centers.
The companies on Jan. 7 said the collaboration leverages Liberty’s power solutions and operational expertise alongside DC Grid’s direct current (DC) systems to rapidly deploy scalable and sustainable power alternatives. DC Grid is a pioneer in off-grid modular DC power systems. Liberty Energy provides services and technologies for the energy industry.
DC Grid’s DC-based off-grid modular power systems are designed to integrate with Liberty’s power infrastructure and provide site-specific energy solutions. The companies in a news release said the DC ecosystem provides higher power conversion efficiency with a simplified architecture that reduces energy consumption and emissions. The modular solutions further offer redundancy, reliability, and the ability to accelerate deployment timelines for critical infrastructure projects. Small-scale power output can be deployed within three months for fleet EV charging hubs, while hundreds of megawatts can be deployed within 12–18 months for data centers.
Liberty will focus on providing power system options through its Liberty Power Innovations (LPI) subsidiary that feed directly into DC Grid’s DC-based appliances that include EV chargers and data center power shelves. Liberty’s low-emissions mobile power generation provides outstanding thermal efficiency and fuel flexibility, including natural gas, renewable natural gas, and hydrogen. It is a modular design that can be scaled alongside the growing load requirements of a customer. The solution delivers superior operational reliability even in harsh environments, ensuring consistent performance for demanding energy applications.
“A reliable and robust energy supply is essential to drive economic growth, support ready-to-deploy cleantech innovations, and sustain critical advancements in AI,” said Vic Shao, founder and CEO of DC Grid. “Our partnership with Liberty provides us with the opportunity to offer customers fast and reliable options for power. This is especially useful for data centers and fleet EV hubs that are in long queues for service upgrades from the local utilities.”
“LPI enables the rapid deployment of distributed power solutions that combine low emissions power generation and balance of plant technology with unparalleled service and support,” said Ron Gusek, president of Liberty Energy. “By pairing our industry leading power generation service capabilities with DC Grid’s modular DC technology, we are positioned to deliver timely, capital efficient energy solutions for high-demand sectors like data centers and fleet EV hubs.”
