Trusted partner for resilient power
A key megatrend for over a decade already, digitization affects all areas of our lives. Data centers ensure the availability of huge data volumes at all times. Data center power availability is equally critical – we empower a continuous data flow.
For more than 15 years, Rolls-Royce has partnered with the world’s leading data center operators, keeping critical systems online when every second counts. We’ve learned from experience that there’s no one-size-fits-all fix. Each site has its challenges and each customer has its own unique needs. That’s why we offer a wide portfolio of solutions - designing integrated energy systems that draw on gas, kinetic, and diesel power to meet the exact needs of each site and customer.
From the first planning call to end-of-life overhauls after decades of use, we’re with you every step of the way to maximum uptime, ensure peak efficiency, and lower emissions. We are the one partner you can trust to keep your data flowing and your energy resilient.
