Data Center Construction
We help data centers achieve on-time and on-budget project delivery with temporary power, cooling, heating, and dehumidification solutions throughout the different stages of construction.
Aggreko can supply reliable power for even the most complex sites using diesel, gas, or hybrid generator packages. Whether the grid is unstable, unable to cope with demand or the wholesale electricity price is too high, our flexible off-grid generation options deliver reliable power demand-side.
Panels, transformers, and switchgear distribute the power to wherever it’s needed. And our temperature control solutions accelerate slow processes while keeping your project’s environment and workers safe.
Aggreko enables you to:
- Secure greener, reliable, and scalable power for construction
- Maintain desired humidity levels and temperatures with precise cooling, heating and dehumidification
- Control emissions, including noise pollution in urban areas
- Deliver your construction on-time and on-budget

Data center construction power and temperature control solutions
- Power generation and electrical distribution including diesel and gas generators from to 100 kW to 1.5 MW which can be used independently from or alongside grid energy. Our generators also offer fuel flexibility with the ability to run on alternative fuels like HVO and several gas types, and are rigorously tested for performance and efficiency. We’ll even manage your fuel supply.
- Load-on-demand packages with multiple generators working together, which can be automatically powered up or down according to demand on site. This allows you to rapidly scale your available energy depending on your processes and stages of construction, leading to more cost savings, maximized efficiencies, and reduced emissions.
- End-to-end temperature control solutions to keep your project on time and within budget throughout its entire lifecycle. From keeping workers safe and comfortable and protecting permanent equipment, to optimizing and accelerating your processes, you count on reliable and tailored support from our industry-leading specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Data center construction projects come with some unique challenges when compared to other types of construction. Sometimes located in busy metropolitan areas, data centers need to keep noise, disruption, and emissions low. At the same time, the required power for a data center construction project may exceed grid capacity – or a grid connection may be unavailable at the earliest stages. This makes flexible, modular equipment essential for keeping projects on track.
At some stages of your construction project, temporary power and cooling may be a necessity. If there isn’t already a grid power supply, generators will be essential. However, modular power and cooling can also help improve construction outcomes, from accelerating important but slow processes like curing to improving site safety.
