US Data centre power infrastructure provider Takanock has secured $500m (€429.8m) in capital commitments from ArcLight and DigitalBridge.
Formed in 2023, Takanock has built a portfolio of US sites since early 2024. The company is currently deploying digital power under long-term contracts for advanced projects in Northern Virginia and Phoenix.
Kenneth Davies, founder and CEO of Takanock, said: ”To meet the increasingly compute-intensive needs of hyperscalers and large-scale data centre operators, it’s essential to combine expertise from both the energy and digital sectors. What makes this partnership so significant is our ability to deliver integrated solutions, accelerating time to power for new data centre deployment while strengthening grid reserve margins and flexibility.
“ArcLight and DigitalBridge bring tangible operational capabilities and industry connectivity that will help us operationalise digital power solutions in premier Tier I data centre markets where existing constraints are most acute.”
Jon Mauck, senior MD and head of data centres at DigitalBridge, said: “Access to reliable power is the cornerstone for scaling the data centre industry. The Takanock team has a demonstrated ability to deliver innovative commercial structures that bridge the gap between the power and data infrastructure sectors, enabling scalable, long-term solutions for both power and land development.”
Jake Erhard, partner at ArcLight, said: “As the cost and availability of grid-served power grows increasingly uncertain, the data centre industry needs new power-infrastructure solutions tailored to accelerate time to power and to deliver on the prerogatives of reliability, sustainability, and affordability.
“In a complex market that needs actionable solutions, we see Takanock’s team and strategy as compelling and differentiated.”
