GridCore Implementations
Where the Model Meets the Ground.
These campuses are GridCore implementations — real sites applying the GridCore model across power strategy, deployment architecture, commercial delivery, documentation, safety, and integrated operations. Implementations may use different site-specific power strategies, including self-generation-primary campuses, hydro-powered Canadian campuses, utility-integrated campuses, and other engineered power models. GridCore is the repeatable framework; each implementation is tuned to the site, market, customer demand, and available energy infrastructure.

About These Implementations
Energy Compute Campus (ECC) implementations are named campus projects built with the GridCore model and delivered through GridColo-standard commercial and operating frameworks. Some implementations, such as Pittsburg, are self-generation-primary / islanded campuses. Others, such as Sovereign Shield Energy Compute Campus in Canada, are hydro-powered sovereign compute campuses designed around Canadian power, Canadian data residency support, high-density AI/HPC infrastructure, and phased customer reservations. GridCore defines the campus development, power planning, deployment, documentation, operating, and commercial framework; GridColo provides the service environment for colocation, powered land, powered shell, connectivity, and customer operations.
Not every GridCore implementation has the same ownership, power source, operating boundary, or service model. Site-specific capacity, phasing, reliability classification, power delivery, operating responsibility, and SLA terms are documented in the applicable project and customer agreements.

GridCore Model — Pittsburg
How the GridCore Model Is Applied
Each implementation applies the full GridCore framework — power, deployment, operations, safety, and commercial delivery — tuned to site-specific conditions.
Self-Generation Primary
Onsite generation provides the primary power source — not utility-dependent. The generation facility is designed for phased capacity expansion matching compute demand growth.
Islanded Operations
The campus is engineered to operate in full island mode independent of the utility grid. Load management, frequency control, and ride-through capabilities are built into the base architecture.
Future Grid Interconnection
The electrical architecture preserves the option for utility grid interconnection — for export, import, or hybrid grid-interactive operations — without requiring a retrofit of the generation or distribution infrastructure.
Phased Compute Delivery
Compute capacity is deployed in phases aligned with generation capacity commissioning. Pre-engineered building footprints, modular power, and modular cooling allow rapid phase expansion.
Integrated Operations Center
A single integrated operations center governs plant control, compute monitoring, safety systems, visitor management, and market interfaces — applying the full GridCore Operations Framework.
EHS & Security by Design
Physical security, perimeter control, EHS management, PTW/LOTO procedures, and emergency response protocols are embedded into the campus design — not added after commissioning.
Sovereign Shield Energy Compute Campus
Canadian Sovereign Compute. Hydro-Powered. GW+ Planned.
Sovereign Shield Energy Compute Campus is a Canadian implementation of the GridCore model designed for sovereign AI, HPC, enterprise colocation, powered shell, powered land, and connectivity-supported deployments. The campus is planned around a hydro-powered / hydro-backed power strategy, Canadian data residency support, high-density compute readiness, and Powered by GridColo operating interfaces.

GridCore Model — Sovereign Shield Energy Compute Campus
How the GridCore Model Is Applied
Each implementation applies the full GridCore framework — power, deployment, operations, safety, and commercial delivery — tuned to site-specific conditions.
Hydro-Powered Campus Strategy
The campus is planned around Canadian hydroelectric power access and phased campus electrical distribution. Unlike self-generation-primary implementations, Sovereign Shield is positioned around hydro-backed capacity, utility / hydro coordination, and staged power delivery to match customer reservations and buildout.
Canadian Sovereign Compute
Sovereign Shield is designed to support Canadian data residency, Canadian operating-governance options, customer-controlled security models, and regulated-workload diligence. Sovereignty is treated as a documented control framework, not just a location claim.
150 MW Phased Capacity Blocks
Phase 1 targets 150 MW of capacity in Q2 2027, with additional 150 MW blocks planned every three quarters. The GridCore load-release framework ties customer capacity to commissioning evidence, service model readiness, and commercial execution.
Service Model Flexibility
The implementation supports multiple customer control models: powered land for maximum facility-level control, powered shell for customer fit-out inside a compute-ready environment, turnkey colocation for managed high-density capacity, and connectivity-supported deployments.
Carrier-Neutral Canadian Connectivity
Planned carrier options include GridMetro, TELUS, and a third carrier to be determined. Final carrier availability, routes, diversity, service types, and commercial terms are documented through carrier agreements and customer service orders.
Powered by GridColo Operations
The site is positioned as a Powered by GridColo service environment, using GridColo-standard customer workflows, service boundaries, access procedures, operations documentation, and commercial service definitions appropriate to the selected service model.
Proposed GridCore Mixed-Use District Implementation
The Giga Zone
Compute-Anchored. Mixed-Use. District-Scale.
A compute-anchored mixed-use district implementation extending the GridCore framework into integrated urban-scale environments.
The Giga Zone extends the GridCore framework beyond traditional standalone campuses into a coordinated mixed-use district environment integrating compute infrastructure, district utilities, thermal reuse, premium connectivity, managed services, and commercial real estate development. Structured around four phased 250 MW development blocks totaling approximately 1 GW of planned compute capacity, with public district activation targeted for Q4 2029.

GridCore Model — The Giga Zone
How the GridCore Model Is Applied
The Giga Zone applies GridCore infrastructure discipline — phasing structure, utility coordination, operational governance, and connectivity integration — at district scale across compute and mixed-use development simultaneously.
District-Scale Power and Utility Coordination
The Giga Zone applies the GridCore power strategy framework at district scale — phased utility coordination, distributed power delivery, district-level electrical architecture, and demand-aligned commissioning across multiple compute and commercial use phases.
Thermal Reuse and District Energy Integration
Waste heat produced by compute infrastructure is planned for integration into a district thermal loop — supporting building conditioning, water heating, and district energy optimization consistent with GridCore utility coordination principles.
Managed Connectivity and Technology Services
The district is designed around carrier-neutral fiber infrastructure, managed tenant connectivity, and GridMetro-aligned services — applying GridCore connectivity planning principles to a multi-tenant mixed-use environment rather than a single-operator campus.
Phased Mixed-Use Development
Four development phases of approximately 250 MW each integrate compute environments, premium office, retail and restaurant activation, hospitality, and residential uses — each phase following GridCore modular deployment and load-release discipline.
District Mobility and EV Infrastructure
The district incorporates district-scale EV charging infrastructure, mobility planning, and public realm design as integrated platform layers — not afterthought amenities — consistent with GridCore infrastructure-by-design principles.
Operational Governance at District Scale
The Giga Zone applies the GridCore Operations Framework across multiple concurrent use types — compute operations, public realm management, tenant coordination, safety procedures, and utility governance operating as one coordinated district system.
Why This Matters
GridCore is designed as a flexible infrastructure and operational framework rather than a single campus archetype. The framework can support remote energy-integrated campuses, sovereign compute environments, AI factory deployments, and urban-adjacent mixed-use districts where infrastructure, utilities, operations, and commercial environments must function as one coordinated system.
The Giga Zone demonstrates how GridCore principles can extend into district-scale mixed-use development while preserving disciplined phasing, operational governance, utility coordination, and long-term infrastructure planning. GridCore implementations are designed to support multiple infrastructure deployment archetypes while maintaining common operational, utility, and governance principles.

GridCore Model — Midland
How the GridCore Model Is Applied
Each implementation applies the full GridCore framework — power, deployment, operations, safety, and commercial delivery — tuned to site-specific conditions.
Phase 1: 65 MW Commissioned
Phase 1 delivers 65 MW of powered, cooled, and connected compute capacity. Electrical infrastructure, transformer yard, switchgear, and distribution are sized beyond Phase 1 to avoid costly re-engineering at expansion.
Expansion to 150 MW and Beyond
The campus land, power architecture, and civil works are designed from day one for 150 MW+ capacity. Expansion phases add generation, distribution, and compute buildings without displacing operating infrastructure.
Modular Compute Delivery
Compute buildings follow the GridCore modular deployment model — pre-engineered building shells with integrated modular power and cooling, enabling fast commissioning timelines and repeatable quality.
Permian Basin Positioning
Midland County provides access to energy infrastructure, logistics corridors, skilled labor, and favorable regulatory conditions for large-scale compute development in the West Texas region.
Load Release Protocol
Customer load is released in accordance with the GridCore load release framework — commissioning verification, safety documentation, and operational handover completed before any compute load is energized.
Governed from Day One
The Midland campus applies the full GridCore Operations Framework at go-live: authority matrices, maintenance programs, visitor management, incident response, and compliance documentation established pre-energization.
