Electric Era Introduces CoPower Platform for Data Center Power Expansion

May 21, 2026
Electric Era has launched the CoPower Platform, a modular battery-based power system designed to help data centers overcome grid capacity limits and meet the growing demand from AI workloads.

Electric Era has launched the CoPower Platform, a modular battery-based power system designed to expand data center capacity and address grid limitations, announced in a press release. The platform enables operators to add flexible power capacity through power purchase agreements, allowing faster deployment compared to traditional utility upgrades.

CoPower combines large-scale battery storage with Electric Era’s Energy Intelligence Platform to manage power dynamically for AI workloads. It provides 2.5 megawatt building blocks that can scale beyond 100 megawatts and achieve 99.99 percent power availability using autonomous control software. The system is designed to respond to rapid fluctuations in power demand and optimize the use of both grid and battery resources.

The platform integrates components supplied by LG Energy Solution and is supported by development partnerships with McKinstry and financing discussions with Macquarie Asset Management. Electric Era applies experience gained from its battery-backed EV charging systems to accelerate permitting and deployment for data centers.

CoPower is available across the United States through power purchase agreements. It targets neocloud and edge computing facilities that face power constraints, offering both retrofit and new build options to accelerate time to market.
