IRVING, TEXAS (January 16, 2025) – Edged, the fast-growing sustainable infrastructure provider, marked a significant milestone yesterday with the grand opening of its new ultra-efficient data center in Irving, Texas, a major business epicenter in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The state-of-the-art facility sets a new standard for sustainability and performance with waterless cooling systems built to support advanced computing technology and cloud services. The ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated the transformation of the formerly vacant building into a thriving high-tech hub.
Strategically located at 505 North Wildwood Drive, Edged Dallas delivers 24 MW of critical capacity designed for high-density Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and uniquely optimized for energy and water efficiency. The event was attended by Mayor Stopfer, City of Irving and Dallas County officials, leaders from the economic development community, local utility provider Oncor and key project partners.
“I want to thank the Edged team for their investment in Irving and recognition of our city as a strategic location for the rapidly emerging class of critical infrastructure that data centers provide,” said Mayor Rick Stopfer. “The collaborative relationship between our city’s public and private sectors, our community’s skilled workforce and our excellent quality of life continue to attract leading businesses like Edged, which play a significant role in our city and region’s continued growth and success.”
“On behalf of our member-investors and Board of Directors, I want to welcome Edged home to Irving,” said Beth A. Bowman, IOM, CCE, President & CEO, Greater-Irving Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and Irving Economic Development Partnership. “The new data center reflects the importance of Irving’s ability to meet the needs of our target industries and the value that our city’s dynamic, pro-business mindset, regional connectivity and global accessibility offer companies. We are proud that Edged has selected Irving as its tech hub that will provide instrumental data infrastructure for companies throughout North Texas and beyond.”
Unlike traditional data centers that consume massive amounts of water for cooling and strain the local energy grid, Edged Dallas consumes zero water and 74% less energy overhead than conventional facilities. Each Edged data center is outfitted with the ThermalWorks waterless cooling system which is expected to save nearly 95 million gallons of water each year compared to conventional data centers. The modular system supports ultra-high densities of up to 200 kW per rack with plug-and-play liquid cooling integration while delivering industry-leading energy efficiency (average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15 portfolio-wide).
“We sincerely thank the Irving Economic Development Partnership (IEDP) and the City of Irving for their outstanding partnership and shared dedication to innovation and sustainability. Together, we have transformed an underutilized site into a state-of-the-art IT facility that not only benefits the community but also conserves precious local water and energy resources. We are proud to support Irving’s dynamic and growing digital economy with groundbreaking technologies that promote environmental stewardship and drive meaningful positive change,” said Bryant Farland, Chief Executive Officer for Edged.
Edged Dallas joins a growing network of Edged facilities currently under construction or operational across the U.S., including in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Columbus and Phoenix. 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.
