Liberty Energy and DC Grid have signed a memorandum of understanding to deliver power solutions for industries ranging from commercial fleet electric vehicle (EV) hubs to data centers, the companies said in a Jan. 7 press release.

The collaboration leverages Liberty’s power solutions and operational expertise alongside DC Grid’s direct current (DC) systems to rapidly deploy scalable and sustainable power alternatives, the companies said.

Liberty said it will focus on providing power system options through its subsidiary, Liberty Power Innovations (LPI), that feed directly into DC Grid’s DC-based appliances, which include EV chargers and data center power shelves.

“Liberty’s low emissions mobile power generation provides outstanding thermal efficiency and fuel flexibility, including natural gas, RNG, and hydrogen,” according to the press release. “It is a modular design that can be scaled alongside the growing load requirements of a customer. The solution delivers superior operational reliability even in harsh environments, ensuring consistent performance for demanding energy applications.”

DC Grid’s DC-based off-grid modular power systems “are tailored to integrate seamlessly with Liberty’s power infrastructure and provide site-specific energy solutions,” according to the release. “The DC ecosystem provides higher power conversion efficiency with a simplified architecture that reduces energy consumption and emissions.”

The modular solutions further offer redundancy, reliability and the ability to accelerate deployment timelines for critical infrastructure projects. Small-scale power output can be deployed within three months for fleet EV charging hubs, while hundreds of megawatts can be deployed within 12 months to 18 months for data centers.

"LPI enables the rapid deployment of distributed power solutions that combine low emissions power generation and balance of plant technology with unparalleled service and support," said Ron Gusek, president of Liberty Energy. "By pairing our industry leading power generation service capabilities with DC Grid’s modular DC technology, we are positioned to deliver timely, capital efficient energy solutions for high-demand sectors like data centers and fleet EV hubs."

Vic Shao, founder and CEO of DC Grid, said reliable and robust energy supplies are essential to drive economic growth, “support ready-to-deploy cleantech innovations, and sustain critical advancements in AI.”

"Our partnership with Liberty provides us with the opportunity to offer customers fast and reliable options for power,” Shao said. “This is especially useful for data centers and fleet EV hubs that are in long queues for service upgrades from the local utilities."
