FAQs
-
Each Halo block requires a footprint of around 1,000 sqft of building and 4 acres of solar field
-
Clean
By installing solar collocated with the electric load, we ensure that all of the energy required for each data center is fully accounted for with onsite production. This ensures that our data center growth is sustainable and 100% net zero energy over the course of a year.
Reliable
In addition, by generating our own power onsite, the solar can function as a backup generator during a utility outage in order to support industry leading system reliability.
Scalable
By producing our own energy onsite, we're offsetting the retail cost of electricity as opposed to simply hedging wholesale electricity with off site renewables. This gives us the ability to operate each datacenter as an electric load or generator based upon the needs of the electric grid at any given moment. As a flexible load / generator, we can make operating decisions that are in the best interest of the electric grid which happens to also increase our operating profits and reduce emissions. We believe that this approach is the most scalable model within the industry as all stakeholders are rewarded for good behavior.
-
Halo data centers produce zero emissions, are quiet, and don’t consume water in the cooling process.
-
While our goal is to create autonomous systems, Halo data centers create significant economic development benefits. In addition to the capital investment in the community, each data center block is expected produce about 15 jobs during construction and 1 ongoing job during operation.
-
Halo data centers are designed to perform a wide variety of energy intensive computing tasks. Current market demands include computing for Artificial Intelligence models, data mining, and hosting blockchain based cloud storage platforms.
-
Halo is both the developer and the owner / operator of the data center. We monetize our computing capacity through a variety of marketplaces. For example, owners of a large language AI model, can rent computing capacity from us via a third party marketplace.
