Climate infrastructure for data center sites
Microgrids offer critical power and daily energy cost reductions.
ZAM's Scale a Grid platform includes the design, build-out, as well as a third party covering the upfront capital costs. Your operations just pay a monthly flat fee. Advanced controls optimize on-site distributed energy resources (DERs) and deliver significant competitive advantages for your data center.
Control your Energy Independence
Gain Leadership Advantage:
For whoever moves quickly to deploy climate-smart infrastructure at data center sites, a microgrid could be substantial, and the broader opportunity offers a compelling path to rapidly securing key inputs for US AI leadership.
Dryland Canopy paired with BESS
We design a dryland canopy as a measurable radiative buffer that improves the thermal envelope of behind-the-meter battery storage, while delivering community license to operate at a scale data center operators increasingly need.
Native Ecology research
Zam has developed a system for data center climate infrastructure: forest-buffered behind-the-meter battery storage that combines native dryland canopy with co-located BESS as a deliberate thermal and community asset. Current focus spans pilot development with hyperscale operators in Arizona and West Texas, scientific partnerships, BESS integration discussions with major U.S. and European storage integrators, and consortium structuring with veteran labor partners. We are also currently seeking NSF-funded research programs.

Avoid Upfront Capital Costs
Much like Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), the facility is charged a flat monthly or annual fee for energy services and operations and maintenance of the system. For a flat fee, services include the design, build-out, and ownership and operation of distributed energy assets to deliver cheaper, cleaner, and more resilient power. No capital down is required. Our goal is to help decarbonize and enhance BESS-based microgrids.
