HydX with a Key Role in a Prestigious Future-Oriented Project
The Texas-based company VoltaGrid develops power generation solutions with a strong focus on securing a stable and reliable electricity supply. In connection with several new AI infrastructure projects currently being developedacross the United States, ABB has received a significant order for the delivery of grid-stabilisation equipment. The extensive project is linked to energy supply for large-scale AI data centres in the U.S.
As the AI industry continues to grow rapidly, electricity consumption in data centres is expected to double by 2030, placing entirely new demands on stable, reliable, and fast-responding energy infrastructure.
To meet these requirements, ABB has engaged HydX as a key supplier in the project. HydX is responsible for the manufacturing and delivery of critical components that enable grid stabilisation in some of the world’s most demandingdata centre installations.
Historic Order to the United States
Over a period of two and a half years, ABB Sweden, in close collaboration with HydX, will deliver, among other equipment, 27 synchronous condensers to the Texas-based energy company VoltaGrid in the United States. VoltaGridspecialises in power generation solutions for advanced infrastructure supporting the rapidly expanding AI industry.
The order is a direct response to the need to rapidly establish a stable energy supply for several new AI infrastructure projects in the U.S. The data centres being built impose extremely high demands on operational reliability, and the installed system is estimated to have an electricity consumption equivalent to that of two nuclear power plants.
