Schneider Electric and Motivair by Schneider Electric, a leading innovator in liquid cooling technology for digital infrastructure, have announced the successful phased delivery of more than $290 million in power and cooling infrastructure for TeraWulf’s Lake Mariner digital infrastructure campus.
This partnership underscores the companies’ shared commitment to enabling accelerated, scalable and reliable compute capacity for the AI era. At a moment when ‘time to power’ has become the defining constraint on USA AI growth, the project demonstrates how integrated power, cooling and digital intelligence can bring new capacity online to meet the pace the AI era demands.
Upon full build-out, Lake Mariner is projected to support up to 750 MW of power demand, leveraging the legacy industrial site and existing power infrastructure and transforming it into a next-generation digital infrastructure campus. Located outside of Buffalo in Barker, New York, the campus uses industry-leading liquid cooling solutions from Motivair and integrated power infrastructure from Schneider Electric to support HPC, cloud and AI workloads.
By combining technical design, engineering expertise, advanced energy infrastructure, innovative cooling technologies and supportive software and services, the partnership assists TeraWulf in meeting increasing demand for AI-ready data centres while optimising energy use and operational performance.
“TeraWulf’s strategy is centred on delivering scalable, energy efficient infrastructure capable of supporting the increasing intensity of AI and HPC workloads,” says Sean Farrell, chief operating officer at TeraWulf. “By working closely with industry leaders like Schneider Electric and Motivair, we are accelerating the development of AI-ready capacity at our Lake Mariner facilities, while reinforcing the strong operational foundations needed to support long-term customer demand.”
As the leading strategic energy technology partner, the project required Schneider Electric and Motivair to meet demanding construction and operational timelines as TeraWulf sought to transform the site into a series of purpose-built AI data centres within a 12-month timeframe. TeraWulf also required technical design and engineering guidance to deploy Schneider Electric Galaxy VX uninterruptible power supply and Galaxy lithium-ion battery systems, Motivair coolant distribution units, in-rack manifolds and ChilledDoors, as well as NetShelter racks and enclosures. In addition, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert software was integrated for advanced monitoring and digital intelligence, while Motivair’s client services team was used to anticipate risk, minimise disruption and maximise the cooling investment.
“As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, ‘time to power’ has become a defining constraint on growth. Operators need partners who can bring together advanced infrastructure, services and expertise in energy technology to underpin large-scale AI data centre deployments,” says Manish Kumar, executive vice president of Secure Power and Data Centres at Schneider Electric. “Our partnership with TeraWulf establishes a strategic blueprint for pairing on-site power, AI-enabled automation, advanced liquid cooling and digital intelligence at a legacy industrial site. We are delivering resilient, efficient and scalable data centre solutions at the speed and scale this AI era demands.”
