Powering Data Centers Safer, Faster and More Reliably

As AI-ready data centers grow in size and complexity, power infrastructure is becoming a major constraint due to equipment shortages, long lead times, and utility delays. Developers are under pressure to accelerate deployments, manage grid limitations, and meet the power and cooling demands of high-density workloads—without compromising safety or reliability. ABB’s “Powering Data Centers Safer, Faster and More Reliably” highlights strategies to overcome these challenges, including smarter equipment design, proactive planning, and the use of medium-voltage systems to bridge utility gaps. The piece offers practical insights for both new builds and retrofits, emphasizing the importance of scalable, resilient infrastructure in today’s evolving energy landscape.
