Powering Data Centers:
Reliable Substations for the
Next Generation

Looking for reliable power and an experienced partner to connect your data center to the grid? We can help with our nearly 50 years of experience designing and building electric substation and transmission projects across the U.S.

Let's Talk

Rather than sit on a waitlist, data center companies can own and operate their own substation without the worries of interconnection. AI makes everyday tasks and processes easier, but the ease and convenience also puts more pressure and urgency on data center companies to keep up with demand and improve reliability, and it's not just AI. The demand for data is skyrocketing. The increased need for cloud storage, more businesses encouraging remote and hybrid work, and the Internet of Things (IoT) all require reliable data access and generate massive amounts of it. Our Beta Engineering team supports data center companies who need:

Data centers must be built larger and faster than ever before, often requiring power sooner than typical utility interconnects allow.

With increased awareness of climate change, data centers must be reliable, resilient, and environmentally-friendly, focusing on reducing water and power usage.

We understand that time to market is critical. Securing breakers, transformers, and other substation equipment can be challenging with increased demand for more reliable power across industries and power sectors. Beta leverages integrated design and Factory-Built Substations to keep project schedules moving and on track, despite long equipment lead times.

Time to Market

Timing is everything. Securing breakers, transformers, and other substation equipment can be challenging with increased demand for more reliable power across industriesand power sectors. Beta leverages integrated design and Factory-Built Substations tokeep project schedules moving and on track, despite long equipment lead times.

Substations are essential for connecting data centers to the electrical grid. They allow power from local utilities to be integrated as a power source. However, the high demand for renewable energy integration often means long waiting lists for grid connections. The solution? With the help of a strong HV partner, data centers can skip the line and build their own substations.

Data Center Partnerships

With so much activity, there's never been a more exciting time to develop our nation's infrastructure, but it's also competitive. At Beta, we believe in partnerships and mutual success. It's not just about powering a data center. It's about making connections and building a network of knowledgeable, reliable partners to help sustain long-term growth for data centers and the hyperscale market.

Industry Integration: We stay ahead of rapid changes and future trends, delivering substations that support current and future data center needs.

Reliable Power: We understand the importance of consistent, reliable power for your 24/7 operations and ensure your substation meets these demands.

Why Choose Beta Engineering for Your Data Center Grid Connection?

Beta Engineering brings unparalleled expertise in substation design and construction. We understand what it takes to deliver critical infrastructure on time while ensuring resilience and scalability for future growth.

Don't know how to start building a substation? That's okay.

With nearly 50 years of industry-leading experience, our team can work independently to design and build substations that meet utility standards. Clients can be involved and hands-on with their project, or they can focus on other aspects of their day-to-day responsibilities and goals—resting assured that their high-voltage project is on track.

Our extensive knowledge provides immense value to data center substation projects, including:

Utility Relationships

We understand utility requirements for interconnections and how to efficiently navigate them.

Specialized Expertise

Our diverse capabilities, including seismic and geotechnical engineering, lead to robust solutions.

Full EPC Capabilities

From estimating and design to procurement and construction, we manage concurrent projects without sacrificing quality.

In-House Experts

Our team guides you through every step, ensuring reliable and efficient substation operations.

Grid Connection Solutions

Beta Engineering presents an all-inclusive array of power solutions, encompassing renewable energy, traditional generation, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). We direct our clients to the best-suited solutions when their energy needs go beyond grid capacity.

Modularized Air-Insulated Substation (AIS): Our Agile by Beta® solution minimizes on-site construction periods, providing a rapid and effective method to connect your existing data center infrastructure to the grid.

Conventional EPC: Our approach provides a single source of accountability with a firm price, meaning you replace risk with the peace of mind that your project will be performed on time and on budget. With our in-house procurement and design, you'll get the right price and a project that meets your standards and specifications. We competitively bid all equipment materials, and our licensed engineers can identify alternative lower-cost designs that maintain your quality standards.

Expert Engineers: Leverage our team’s experience with state, federal, and utility regulations to get the design you want and the standards you need. Our experience includes civil and structural engineering, transmission line design, relay protection and control design, and substation design.

Renewable Interconnection Expertise: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and other renewable projects are key in the shift to clean energy. We've interconnected more than 5,000 megawatts in renewable energy projects.

Reliability: Our team provides EPC services exclusively for high-voltage projects, which means we’re focused on delivering the highest-quality substation and ensuring it is ready to get your project online once your data center is built. By capitalizing on our specialized EPC capabilities, you can ensure your data center stays resilient and efficient, ready to meet present and future energy needs.
