AVAIO Digital Partners, a leading developer of sustainable hyperscale data centers in North America and Europe, has reached a crucial milestone in its Perseus Data Center Project at the Pittsburg Technology Park. This project represents a major step forward in addressing the growing demand for sustainable and scalable data center solutions in the Bay Area.

Project Overview

The Pittsburg City Council has unanimously approved and adopted the Pittsburg Technology Park Specific Plan for a 76-acre campus. At the heart of this development is the Perseus facility, a state-of-the-art 92 MW data center scheduled to begin construction in 2025 and become operational in 2027.

Sustainability at the Forefront

AVAIO Digital’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the Perseus project’s design and location:

  • Green Power: Over 90% of the grid power comes from zero-carbon sources
  • Water Conservation: 100% of cooling and non-potable water needs will be met using recycled water
  • Renewable Energy: The facility incorporates on-site solar power
  • Future-Ready: Designed to accommodate biofuels for backup generators

Strategic Location and Partnerships

The Perseus Data Center is strategically located approximately 45 miles from San Francisco and 60 miles from Santa Clara. This positioning offers a cost-competitive and sustainable alternative to the constrained Santa Clara market.

AVAIO Digital has partnered with Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) to ensure competitive power rates, rivaling those in established tech hubs like Santa Clara. The City of Pittsburg has shown strong support for the project, offering competitive economic incentives alongside the approval of the Specific Plan.

The development of the Perseus Data Center represents a significant investment in the community with an initial investment of over $800 million. This investment will offer substantial economic advantages for the City of Pittsburg and the greater East Bay area

Industry Implications

This project addresses the growing regional demand for data centers, particularly as development in Santa Clara faces both power and land constraints. The Pittsburg Technology Park offers a strategic solution to these challenges, providing both scalability and sustainability.

As the data center industry continues to evolve, projects like Perseus demonstrate the potential for sustainable growth and innovation. AVAIO Digital Partners’ approach to data center development, focusing on sustainability, strategic partnerships, and community investment, sets a new standard for the industry.

The Perseus Data Center Project not only addresses immediate needs but also paves the way for future developments that prioritize environmental responsibility and economic growth. As we move forward, it will be exciting to see how this project influences the broader data center landscape and contributes to the digital infrastructure of the Bay Area
