\nCorscale Plans to Deploy e2Companies\u2019 R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> System for On-Site Power Generation, Energy Storage, and Distribution in Current and Future Data Center Pipeline\n<\/p>\n HOUSTON & SAN ANTONIO & BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250422302569\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n The e2Companies R3Di\u00ae System is a self-contained power platform providing on-site power generation, energy storage, and distribution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nThe R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> is an industry-leading solution for data centers looking to achieve energy independence and match the volatile power demands of next-generation AI chips, and it will enable Corscale and Affinius to leverage future power capacity and future advancements of the Virtual Utility\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/a> platform.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are beyond excited about the prospect of partnering with Corscale and Affinius. They understand the technology required to power the AI-data center boom over the next decade,\u201d noted James Richmond, CEO of e2Companies. \u201cEvery industry is being revolutionized by next-Gen AI capabilities. Our combined goal is to provide clean, reliable, and efficient energy to power this revolution.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cCorscale is built to address hyperscale client needs and provide the mission critical infrastructure that their customers require to store, process, and analyze data,\u201d stated Corscale CEO Robert Fields. \u201cThis potential partnership would bring e2\u2019s on-site power generation, energy storage and grid optimization technology to our clients, fulfilling our commitment to deliver creative solutions to meet the expected quality, efficiency, and reliability to achieve their goals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cFor more than four decades Affinius has embraced the implementation of new technologies that we believe will enhance outcomes for our investors,\u201d added Len O\u2019Donnell, Chairman & CEO for Affinius Capital. \u201cInnovation is one of our Core Values, presenting our intention to pioneer new concepts and improve upon current practices to pave the way to a more advanced and dynamic tomorrow. This belief is at the forefront of our investment in Corscale, and I can\u2019t think of any area where innovative new technologies can have a greater impact than in data center development.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe Virtual Utility\u00ae<\/sup> system addresses several challenges arising from the AI data center boom and global electrification of economies. Costs and timelines to make the traditional electric grid capable of meeting growing demand are significant, with electric utility interconnections often taking five or more years to be completed, if completed at all. In this environment, localized microgrids, such as those enabled by e2\u2019s systems, have emerged as turnkey solutions for delivering reliability and meeting the world\u2019s growing electricity demand.\n<\/p>\n \nThe patented R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> System is a self-contained power platform installed without requiring an interconnection agreement or costly public utility upgrades. The R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> provides clean and conditioned prime power, instantaneous full-load pickup and absorbs a much higher range of load profiles than traditional systems, including the throttling demands of next-Gen AI chips such as those from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201ce2 and Corscale plan to deploy the innovative R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> technology in parallel with next generation hyperscale advancements. Through this novel stack, we expect that we would be able to independently power our data centers, while supporting sophisticated AI GPU servers and racks across our platform with sustainable, future proof infrastructure,\u201d commented Nic Bustamante, Chief Technology Officer at Corscale. \u201cOur \u2018building as a machine\u2019, AI factory approach, is intended to scale rack densities beyond one megawatt, yet be equally well suited to cloud workloads. This could be a true game changer with first of kind capabilities for real time utility power coordination, power quality shaping, and dynamic automation at multi-gigawatt scale.”\n<\/p>\n \nIn addition, the R3Di\u00ae <\/sup>works in combination with the Grove365\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/a>, a centralized operations hub from e2 that delivers real-time monitoring, comprehensive data models, and predictive analysis for demand-side energy management. The Grove365\u00ae<\/sup> currently monitors 490 assets at 165 locations globally and has operated for a total of over 90 million grid monitoring hours.\n<\/p>\n \nCorscale Data Centers, along with Affinius Capital as its investment partner, launched the vertically integrated development platform for data centers in 2021 with a singular focus on the hyperscale client from day one. Corscale designs, builds, and operates sustainable, high-density data centers for some of the largest and most advanced technology companies in the world. Now the Virtual Utility\u00ae<\/sup> solution will be available to Corscale\u2019s hyperscale clients as its current $25B pipeline and future projects are developed.\n<\/p>\n About e2Companies<\/b><\/p>\n \ne2Companies delivers the first vertically integrated Virtual Utility\u00ae<\/sup> for power generation, distribution, and energy economics in the marketplace. e2Companies\u2019 patented technology, the R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> System, provides automated grid stability for continuous on-site power, independent of grid conditions. The R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> System is monitored in real-time by the Grove365\u00ae<\/sup> to optimize resources, track ESG targets, and unlock new revenue opportunities for customers. This automated platform is self-sustaining and designed to adapt to future grid advancements including renewables, hydrogen, biofuel, and geothermal power systems.\n<\/p>\n \nOn February 12, 2025, e2Companies and Nabors Energy Transition Corp.

\nCorscale Data Centers (\u201cCorscale\u201d) and Affinius Capital (\u201cAffinius\u201d) have announced a Strategic Partnership for Hyperscaler Development and Supply Exclusivity Agreement (the \u201cStrategic Partnership\u201d) with e2Companies (\u201ce2\u201d), a leading provider of integrated solutions for on-site power generation, distribution and energy cost-optimization. Under the Strategic Partnership, Corscale would become the exclusive hyperscale data center developer to offer use of e2\u2019s R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> System<\/b><\/a> in the United States (pronounced \u201cReady\u201d) for an initial 24-month term. While there is no obligation for Corscale Data Centers and Affinius Capital to purchase a specific number of e2\u2019s R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> Systems, the Strategic Partnership is targeted to initially include the use of more than 300MW of e2 R3Di\u00ae<\/sup> systems to fulfill the energy needs of part of the Corscale hyperscale data center development project pipeline. Management of Corscale, Affinius and e2 believe there is a potential for considerably more collaboration after this initial deployment.\n<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20250422302569\/en\/2444204\/4\/e2_release_photo_4-21-25.jpg\")
