From Grid Gaps to Grid Gains
Takanock’s innovation lies in addressing the root problem: reliability and time-to-power. By serving as a bridge solution before traditional infrastructure is complete, Takanock eases pressure on utilities while supporting faster deployments of compute-heavy workloads.
The company also touts a strong sustainability pitch. Its dispatchable systems are designed to support the broader grid, enabling more renewables integration and adding grid flexibility in high-demand regions.
“Reliable power is the cornerstone of scaling data centers,” said Jon Mauck, senior managing director and head of data centers at DigitalBridge. “Takanock offers the rare blend of operational agility and commercial sophistication to turn complex energy challenges into scalable infrastructure wins.”
Institutional Capital Backs a High-Voltage Vision
DigitalBridge, known for its focus on electrification infrastructure, and ArcLight, which targets digital infrastructure investments, see Takanock as a clear answer to industry needs.
“As grid-served power becomes more costly and uncertain, Takanock’s strategy is refreshingly actionable,” said Jake Erhard, partner at ArcLight. “Their team brings a differentiated, forward-looking approach that blends speed, reliability, and affordability.”
The deal reflects growing investor appetite for alternative power solutions, especially those serving the booming data center sector. As energy grids strain under the pressure of AI, cloud computing, and crypto mining, solutions that bypass the bottlenecks—like Takanock’s—are gaining traction.
DigitalBridge handled the transaction using in-house counsel. Legal representatives for ArcLight and Takanock were not disclosed.
With $500 million now powering its expansion, Takanock is charging ahead—one kilowatt at a time—into a future where speed to power means speed to scale.
