Edged Breaks Ground on New Ultra-Efficient Data Center with Advanced Waterless Cooling in Mesa, Arizona

State-of-the-art facility will save 94 million gallons of water each year and deliver 36 MW of critical capacity to the thriving tech hub of the Southwest

MESA, AZ – (August 15, 2024)Edged Energy, the fast-growing sustainable infrastructure provider, marked a significant milestone yesterday with the start of construction on a new state-of-the-art data center in the Phoenix-area city of Mesa. Strategically located at 8811 E. Warner Road, east of highway 202, Edged Phoenix will be built for high-density Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and equipped with advanced waterless cooling and ultra-efficient energy systems.

The groundbreaking event was attended by Mesa city officials and key project partners and showcased the collaboration between Edged Data Centers, local general contractor Haydon Building Corp. and local utility provider Salt River Project (SRP). The new data center is expected to come online in late 2025.

“Edged is thrilled to become part of the Mesa community. This project would not be possible without the support and leadership of the city of Mesa and the Arizona Commerce Authority. Together, we share a deep commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Frank Scandariato, Director of Platform Delivery at Edged. “With the groundbreaking of Edged Phoenix, we will help the fast-growing digital economy meet increasing demand while addressing issues of local water scarcity and climate change head-on.”

The Edged platform is uniquely optimized for both energy and water efficiency. This is particularly important in a hot, dry climate like Arizona where there is limited water supply. Unlike traditional data centers which put significant pressure on the power grid and consume billions of gallons of water each year, Edged Phoenix will be outfitted with the ThermalWorks ultra-efficient waterless cooling technology that can handle high density AI-driven loads yet consumes no water. This innovative design is expected to save more than 94 million gallons¹ of water each year.  

Edged is a subsidiary of Endeavour with nearly a dozen new data centers operating or under construction across Europe and North America and a gigawatt-scale project pipeline. Edged Phoenix will join a growing network of data centers currently under construction across the U.S., including in Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas and Columbus.

¹Source: compared with global average data center efficiency PUE 1.58 (Uptime Institute, 2023) and industry average WUE 1.8 (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 2016). Assumes 60% utilization.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
