Kingsboro AI DC Expansion

Energy Storage Solutions, LLC (ESS), a company focused on data centers, energy generation, and storage, was established by the original owners and key personnel from North Carolina Renewable Energy, LLC (NCRE). NCRE was a highly successful solar development firm operating across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, which grew its solar pipeline to over 3.5 Gigawatts AC under the founders' ten-year leadership. This extensive development work allowed the founders to strategically acquire dozens of sites adjacent to local substations and along transmission lines. Leveraging these existing site controls, ESS was able to quickly develop its Behind-the-Meter (BTM) data center and energy generation and storage Campuses.

The current pipeline for ESS's data center projects now exceeds 7.5 Gigawatts AC. The company's BTM development strategy integrates on-site natural gas power generation, which ensures reliable, self-sustaining energy for its campuses, accelerates project delivery, and supports local communities by selling affordable, low-cost surplus power back to the regional grid.
