Schneider Electric and Switch announced a two-phase supply capacity agreement valued at $1.9 billion, marking the introduction of Uniflair chillers in North America. This initiative represents Schneider Electric's largest cooling services engagement to date and further establishes Switch’s position as a leading data center campus designer, builder, and operator.

The announcement occurred during Schneider Electric’s Innovation Summit North America in Las Vegas, which gathered over 2,500 industry leaders to explore solutions for creating resilient energy infrastructures. The partnership is designed to enhance the capacity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hyperscale computing, responding to a projected 160% increase in global data center power demand connected to AI-driven workloads.

By integrating prefabricated power modules and Uniflair chillers into its data centers, Switch aims to provide scalable solutions without increasing energy demand. The chiller technology features oil-free, variable-speed compressors and free cooling capabilities, optimizing energy usage during varied IT loads. These advancements align with Switch's aspiration to support AI factories, capable of handling extreme density demands associated with next-generation AI workloads.

Vandana Singh, Senior Vice President of Secure Power North America at Schneider Electric, highlighted the goal of developing infrastructure that meets future AI demands. The agreement ensures reliable long-term support through a three-year service contract for Schneider's cooling technologies, which are critical in mission-critical environments.

Jason Hoffman, Chief Strategy Officer at Switch, emphasized the company’s focus on enabling the next wave of digital innovation and operational efficiency through this expanded partnership with Schneider Electric, which also integrates advanced cooling and power technologies. Switch operates five substantial U.S. data center campuses, designed to meet the growing needs of clients involved in AI and cloud computing.
