Lancium locates its large-scale data centers in regions with excess renewable energy generation. This allows Lancium’s customers to benefit from low power prices and the highest concentration of renewable generated power on the grid. Enabled by Lancium’s proprietary Lancium Smart Response ™ technology, the data centers operate in a flexible manner, responding to grid conditions in real time. This ability to operate flexibly has allowed facilities enabled by Lancium Smart Response ™ to qualify as “Controllable Load Resources” (CLR) under ERCOT protocols.

“As the generation mix evolves and generation from renewables grows, grid operators are looking for solutions to help address the challenge of intermittency,” said Shaun Connell, EVP of Power for Lancium. “Because our technology allows data center power consumption to move up and down with grid conditions, we are able to help stabilize the power grid and encourage the development of even more renewable generation. We believe Broad Reach’s vision and experience in how to manage dynamic energy storage resources will help support Lancium as we continue our work to advance the reliability and resiliency of the electric grid.”
