Solution

Data-Center Microgrids

We design and deliver low-emission on-site microgrids that pair high-efficiency fuel-cell generation, battery storage, and optional solar or heat recovery.

When this fits

  • Data-center and high-load campuses where uptime and schedule certainty are non-negotiable.
  • Projects where utility interconnection timing creates opening-date risk.
  • Sites needing phased capacity growth while maintaining power quality and continuity.

What we deliver

  • Feasibility and site-fit analysis tied to load profile and resilience targets.
  • Integrated electrical, controls, and commissioning architecture.
  • Delivery oversight from procurement through energization and handover.
  • Operations support model with performance, emissions, and water reporting pathways.

Owner-operator outcomes

Schedule certainty through phased deployment that can reduce reliance on uncertain utility timelines.

High reliability and power quality with battery ride-through and island-capable architecture.

Lower water and emissions intensity with transparent data for ESG and stakeholder reporting.

Predictable commercial framework through long-term service structures aligned to performance.

Commercial and incentive approach

We support project structuring across capex and service models, including financing pathways for qualified counterparties.

Lockwood works with clients across geographies to align incentive pathways with each jurisdiction's regulatory framework and project structure.

Investment tax credits, grants, and related incentives are validated with legal and tax advisors before close.

Water profile and transparency

Our on-site power architecture is built around solid oxide fuel cell technology that consumes no water during normal electricity production, enabling a fundamentally different water profile compared to conventional generation.

When paired with non-evaporative cooling strategies (air-cooled or direct-to-chip liquid cooling) and optional heat-recovery chillers, the platform can materially reduce total facility water intensity versus traditional evaporative tower designs.

  • Real-time water metering
  • Annual ESG reporting
  • Site-specific Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) tracking

Delivery model

Every project follows one accountability framework: assess, design, deliver, and support.

FAQs

Do you only work with one technology vendor?

No. We remain vendor-neutral and select architecture based on project requirements.

Can this be integrated with existing site infrastructure?

Yes. Integration planning is a core design workstream from the start.

Can delivery be phased to match load ramp?

Yes. Phasing is aligned to load growth, commissioning windows, and operating priorities.

What role does Lockwood play during implementation?

We manage end-to-end delivery accountability through procurement, integration, and commissioning.

Can commercial terms be structured as a long-term service model?

Often yes, including structures that prioritize performance and lifecycle support.

Do incentive programs apply automatically?

No. Eligibility and treatment depend on project specifics and advisor confirmation.
