en.Wedoany.com Reported - Schneider Electric, together with its liquid cooling technology subsidiary Motivair (Motivair by Schneider Electric), recently announced the phased delivery of over $290 million in artificial intelligence infrastructure solutions for TeraWulf's rapidly expanding Lake Mariner data campus.
This project underscores the commitment of the three parties to jointly accelerate, scale, and secure computing power in the era of AI. In the United States, "time to power" has become a critical bottleneck constraining AI growth. This project demonstrates how integrating power, cooling, and digital intelligence technologies can rapidly bring new capacity online at the speed required by the AI era.
Once fully built out, the Lake Mariner campus is expected to support up to 750 megawatts of power demand. The campus repurposes former industrial land and existing power infrastructure into a site for next-generation digital infrastructure. Located in Barker, New York, outside Buffalo, the campus utilizes Motivair's industry-leading liquid cooling solutions and Schneider Electric's integrated power infrastructure to support high-performance computing (HPC), cloud, and AI workloads.
By integrating technical design, engineering expertise, advanced energy infrastructure, innovative cooling technologies, and supporting software and services, this collaboration helps TeraWulf meet the growing market demand for AI-ready data centers while optimizing energy use and operational performance.
Sean Farrell, Chief Operating Officer of TeraWulf, stated that the core of TeraWulf's strategy is to provide scalable, energy-efficient infrastructure to support increasingly dense AI and HPC workloads. Through close collaboration with partners like Schneider Electric and Motivair, the development of AI-ready capacity at the Lake Mariner facility is accelerating, while strengthening the operational foundation to support long-term customer needs.
The Lake Mariner campus is strategically located to leverage low-cost, reliable power and scalable infrastructure, and has secured long-term lease commitments from major tenants Core42 and Fluidstack (backed by Google). The site uses the New York regional grid, where approximately 89% of the energy mix is zero-carbon, with ample surplus power available to support customers' HPC and AI workloads.
The project required Schneider Electric and Motivair to deliver within a demanding construction and operational timeline, as TeraWulf planned to transform the site into a series of AI-customized data centers within twelve months. Deployed equipment includes Schneider Electric Galaxy VX uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), Galaxy lithium-ion battery systems, and Motivair's coolant distribution units (CDUs), in-rack manifolds, ChilledDoors, and NetShelter enclosures and cabinets. Additionally, Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT data center expert software was integrated for advanced monitoring and digital intelligence, while leveraging Motivair's Client Services to predict risks, reduce disruptions, and maximize cooling investments.
Manish Kumar, Executive Vice President of Secure Power and Data Centers at Schneider Electric, noted that as AI infrastructure demand accelerates, "time to power" has become a decisive constraint. Operators need partners capable of integrating advanced infrastructure, services, and energy technology expertise to rapidly support large-scale AI data center deployments. The collaboration with TeraWulf establishes a strategic blueprint, combining on-site power, AI-driven automation, advanced liquid cooling, and digital intelligence on former industrial sites to deliver resilient, efficient, and scalable data center solutions at the speed and scale required by the AI era.
