Shoals Technologies Group and ON.energy have announced an agreement to deploy multiple gigawatts of critical-power systems into the AI data center market. The companies say the effort targets power reliability, fast deployment, and operational continuity as AI and cloud workloads drive higher data center power demand.
The agreement pairs ON.energy’s medium-voltage AI UPS platform with Shoals’ DC Recombiner. “AI data centers don’t just need more power. They need a power architecture that’s predictable under stress, fast to deploy, and designed to interact with the grid,” said Alan Cooper, CEO of ON.energy. “By pairing our medium-voltage AI UPS™ platform with Shoals’ DC Recombiner, we’re delivering a simpler, more scalable path to resilient backup power, one that protects uptime and helps data centers become grid assets as they grow.”
ON.energy says it brings a medium-voltage uninterruptible power supply (UPS) architecture and utility-scale storage expertise aimed at safeguarding uptime, accelerating deployment, and “future-proofing” data center energy infrastructure. Shoals says it adds electrical-systems engineering, including advanced simulations and rigorous modeling intended to reduce technical and financial risk, plus prefabricated, durability-focused designs integrated with ON.energy’s UPS and storage technologies.
Shoals also says it is scaling production capacity as it expands into an approximately 638,000 square foot manufacturing campus in Portland, Tennessee. The company positions its manufacturing and prefabricated electrical infrastructure as part of its support for rapid, at-scale data center power builds, alongside its other mission-critical markets.
