Joule, a Utah-based power and digital infrastructure developer, has announced the BetterGrid platform, which it describes as a next-generation data center platform engineered for high-density AI workloads. Joule says its fully entitled AI data center campus in Millard County, Utah is designed to deliver operational capacity without the multi-year grid interconnection delays affecting many projects, supported by behind-the-meter power generation equipment that the company says is on firm order and already in production.
Joule also reports it has closed a $60 million Series B financing round in January led by Clear Lake Investments and Foulger Pratt, following a $3 million Series A in 2025. The company says the funding supports its approach to accelerating deployment timelines versus traditional grid-dependent development.
On the supply chain and power side, Joule says it has already secured 1.7 GW of Caterpillar power-generation equipment, with first delivery scheduled for March. Joule says it owns its full infrastructure stack, including 4,000 acres of entitled land, 10,000 acre-feet of senior water rights, and direct natural gas interconnections.
For electrical delivery to the IT load, Joule says BetterGrid provisions the “entire energy stack,” including base-load and backup generators, switchgear, inverters, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) units, and battery energy storage system (BESS) systems, delivering 480 volts directly to the data center floor. The company says the platform includes N+2 behind-the-meter power designed to support modern AI clusters.
“Every component of the BetterGrid is either purchased, permitted or actively under construction,” said Brock Andrus, Co-CEO at Joule. “That gives our customers something incredibly rare in this market: certainty and speed.”
