Vertiv partners with Generate Capital on BYOP&C

Vertiv and Generate Capital formed a collaboration to deliver Bring Your Own Power & Cooling (BYOP&C) solutions for data centers across the United States, with the stated purpose of accelerating capacity deployment in locations with constrained grid access.

The organizations described the collaboration as a response to grid connection delays and high upfront infrastructure capital requirements that many operators faced as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-density compute demand increased. The model aligned technology delivery and financing to reduce time-to-operation and to provide a single deployment approach that combined equipment, delivery, and capital.

Vertiv committed integrated power and cooling infrastructure, citing power train, thermal chain, modular converged building blocks, and services capabilities intended to shorten design cycles and standardize deployments. Generate agreed to supply project financing, asset ownership, operations and maintenance, and flexible commercial structures. The partnership identified possible configurations that included reciprocating engines, turbines, fuel cells, pre-engineered integrated cooling, battery energy storage, and alternative energy systems.

Initial deployments targeted North American markets with constrained grid access and were described as an integrated path to near-term on-site power while preserving long-term optionality for utility interconnection. Vertiv’s role comprised providing modular, fully converged building blocks to support repeatable execution, while Generate’s role included financing and operating the deployed infrastructure to reduce or eliminate upfront customer investment requirements.

“This collaboration expands Vertiv's Bring Your Own Power \u0026 Cooling strategy by combining converged physical infrastructure with the financing and ownership models to enable our customers to achieve a faster time to token,” said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. “As AI-driven demand accelerates, customers need more than equipment, they need a deployable infrastructure model,” said David Crane, CEO of Generate. The release contained forward-looking statements, referred readers to Vertiv's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for discussion of related risk factors, and stated Vertiv was under no obligation to update those statements.
