Question 1

What exactly does EnergiAcres build?

Accepted Answer

EnergiAcres develops integrated campuses that combine data-center-ready sites with dedicated energy infrastructure—often provided behind the meter—and controlled-environment agriculture, such as greenhouses. This approach ensures that power, heat, and resources are engineered as a unified system.

Question 2

What is “behind-the-meter” power and why does it matter for data centers?

Accepted Answer

Behind-the-meter power is electricity generated on the customer side of the utility meter and delivered directly to a specific facility instead of pulling electricity from the regional grid system. By using behind-the-meter power, EnergiAcres can avoid limited grid schedules and advance its model for sustainable development.

Question 3

How is an EnergiAcres campus different from a traditional data center site?

Accepted Answer

EnergiAcres campuses are designed to deliver power faster by integrating on-site generation and to create additional local value by reusing energy byproducts (like heat) within the campus for local food production.

Question 4

How does EnergiAcres reuse energy byproducts within the campus?

Accepted Answer

Our campuses are designed to function as mini circular economies: the energy center powers the data center, which produces heat used for greenhouses; the power plant’s heat and CO₂ support greenhouse operations, and the greenhouse efficiently produces food.

Question 5

How do you capture and reuse rainwater and cooling condensate?

Accepted Answer

We design campuses to capture rainwater and recover cooling/condensate streams for reuse in non-potable applications (including greenhouse operations), with the total savings depending on the final campus design and local conditions.

Question 6

What kinds of jobs does an EnergiAcres campus create?

Accepted Answer

Our projects create skilled trade and heavy-civil jobs during construction (sitework, electrical, mechanical, controls, network/fiber). Afterward, they provide permanent roles in power system operations and maintenance, IT management, technical support, site security, site maintenance, and greenhouse production.

Question 7

How do local communities benefit financially from your projects?

Accepted Answer

Alongside employment opportunities in construction, technology, and agriculture, our projects incorporate targeted infrastructure investments within the region. The energy and food center is positioned to stimulate further development, contributing to regional economic growth and supporting the local tax base.

Question 8

Where is your first project located?

Accepted Answer

Our first flagship project is in Mansfield, Ohio, and it is in active pre-development with land control, entitlements/overlay work, and utility/energy planning in progress.

Question 9

How can developers, investors, or communities get involved with EnergiAcres?

Accepted Answer

We welcome conversations with developers, investors, local community officials, residents and prospective employees. Visit our connect page if you want to learn more about our flagship project in Mansfield.
