- Superior efficiency through DC-based architecture, reducing energy losses in power conversion
- Fuel flexibility including natural gas, RNG and hydrogen, providing both current utility and future-proofing
- Modular scalability allowing matched growth with customer demand
The timing is particularly strategic given the significant backlog in utility service upgrades and the accelerating demand for data center capacity driven by AI computing needs. This positions Liberty to capture market share in the distributed energy resources (DER) sector, estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% through 2028.
The technical architecture of this solution addresses critical inefficiencies in traditional AC-based power distribution systems. By implementing DC-based power systems, the solution eliminates multiple conversion stages typically present in AC systems, potentially achieving 15-20% higher system efficiency. The modular design allows for N+1 redundancy, important for maintaining uptime in mission-critical applications like data centers.
The integration of Liberty's generation capabilities with DC Grid's power distribution technology creates a comprehensive solution that's particularly valuable for edge computing facilities and distributed EV charging infrastructure, where grid capacity constraints are a significant bottleneck. This approach effectively bridges the gap between immediate power needs and longer-term utility infrastructure development.
