Who are Deep Green?

Who are Deep Green?

Data centers are the critical infrastructure that underpin the technologies we all rely on day-to-day as well as unlocking the next wave of technological innovation and growth. 

We are a data center developer and operator delivering  next-gen digital infrastructure to  harness the power of AI & HPC  (Artificial Intelligence & High Performance Compute).

We capture the carbon neutral heat energy generated by our data centers and give it to the communities we operate in. Deep Greens heat reuse data center model will provide computing power and carbon-free heat to Lansing's district energy heating system.

Unlike large scale hyperscalers, we build smaller colocation data centers that operate within the communities we serve. These offer local services for state and regional businesses for their everyday compute requirements.

We are backed by Octopus Energy Generation, one of Europes largest renewable energy infrastructure investors.

What is Deep Green planning in Lansing?

What is Deep Green planning in Lansing?

Deep Green proposes to build a first-of-its-kind 24-megawatt (MW) hyper-local, ultra-efficient data center in downtown Lansing.

The $120+ million project combines powerful computing capacity with a groundbreaking approach to carbon-neutral heat recovery, making Lansing a national model for sustainable technology and clean energy innovation.

This unique project will strengthen Lansing's local economy, support good-paying jobs, and move us closer to a cleaner, more resilient high-tech future. Local residents will see several benefits:

The project converts an under-utilized city parking lot into a $120 million development that creates greater density in our downtown.

It will generate significant property tax revenue plus an additional $1 million per year through the revenues generated by the BWL from having Deep Green as a customer. City of Lansing revenues generated by this project could be used toward public safety, neighborhood improvement and better services for those in need.

Deep Green has also committed to supporting local nonprofits and charities with a contribution of up to $120,000 annually ($6,000 per MW of contracted data center usage). The funding will support Pennies for Power, which supports families struggling to pay their utility bills, and other local charities.

At the same time, it will meet sustainability goals while reducing future utility rate increases.

The rezoning process

The rezoning process

The project is currently going through a rezoning process to change the zoning from Downtown to Industrial.

We believe this is appropriate as this site is located on the edge of downtown and is currently used as a parking lot. Several other similar uses, including the Lansing BWL Dye Water Conditioning Plant, a solar array, and two vehicle service centers, already surround it.

This is a conditional zoning. This means that if the property changes ownership, the only use for this property can be for a data center; otherwise, it will revert back to its original downtown zoning.

This is not just another data center project

Deep Green's data centers are radically different to Hyperscalers projects you may have seen on the news.

Most of the industry fixates on PUE. Ours is best-in-class - and we lead on other key metrics as accountability demands rise.

Lansing will be a case study in how to do data centers the right way

On-site power generation mean the data center will have no impact on the local grid and importantly will not lead to increased power rates for residents.

Our partnership with BWL

Power & heat

The data center will utilse on-site generation meaning no impact on the local Lansing grid.

All data center heat will be transferred to BWL’s hot water system free of charge.

This directly reduces the natural gas demand required to run BWL’s hot water network

Utilizing waste heat reduces natural gas demand and the carbon impact

Community benifits

For the benefit of everyone

Deep Green will donate $500 per month for every MW of contracted data center capacity to local initiatives.

This equates to $120,000 per year for the City of Lansing

This money is earmarked for BWL's Pennies for Power scheme

The project will generate high pay, high skill jobs in the industries of tomorrow.
