Aikido Technologies Unveils Offshore Datacenter Platform for AI Compute

March 06, 2026
Aikido Technologies has introduced the AO60DC, a floating offshore wind platform that combines renewable energy generation with AI-grade datacenter capacity. The company plans to deploy its first commercial unit in the UK by 2028.

Aikido Technologies has launched AO60DC, a floating offshore wind platform designed to host AI-grade datacenters, announced in a press release. The system integrates wind generation, battery storage, and high-density compute infrastructure on a single semi-submersible platform.

Each AO60DC unit can support 10–12 MW of computing power alongside a 15–18 MW wind turbine and integrated battery energy storage. The design targets deployments from 30 MW to more than 1 GW of IT load, enabling nations to install sovereign AI infrastructure close to major coastal data demand centers.

The platform features a modular, prefabricated structure that can be assembled up to ten times faster than conventional offshore units. Its passive cooling system uses seawater to achieve a power usage effectiveness (PUE) below 1.08. The company expects the units to operate within 200 miles of major compute hubs while maintaining sub-10 millisecond latency.

A proof-of-concept unit is under development in Norway, with deployment planned later this year. The first commercial site is expected to be in the UK, with operations targeted for 2028.
