en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 27th, Crux Energy and Redwood Energy recently announced that they will jointly expand the data center microgrid project located at the Redwood Battery Recycling Campus in Sparks, Nevada, USA. This collaboration aims to utilize second-hand electric vehicle batteries to provide sustainable energy support for data centers and optimize power management.

As a data center developer, Crux Energy has adopted a diversified strategy to enhance computing power. The company recently entered into a significant agreement with the iron-air energy storage company Form Energy, involving 12 gigawatt-hours of energy, further strengthening its position in the energy storage sector. The expansion project with Redwood Energy will continue the modular model. Crux Energy plans to add 20 Crux Spark modular data center units to the existing four modules. These units are equipped with high-performance servers, potentially integrating NVIDIA GPUs to support AI model operation and inference tasks, bringing the total number of units to 24 and increasing power demand to 20 megawatts.

By utilizing second-hand electric vehicle batteries, this project not only helps reduce electronic waste but also provides a flexible microgrid solution for data centers, improving energy efficiency. This initiative reflects the active exploration of technology companies in promoting the application of green energy and is expected to set a new benchmark for sustainable development in the industry.
