A high voltage substation at dawn

Electrical and power equipment

Power comes first. Every megawatt of a 100 MW AI campus passes through electrical equipment on its way from the high-voltage connection to the rack.

What the project needs

Phase 1 needs a dedicated high-voltage connection, likely 230 kV or 400 kV, with contracted renewable supply and storage. Behind that connection sits the electrical chain of the campus itself: transformers, switchgear, HT and LT panels, bus ducts, UPS, power distribution units, generator sets, energy storage, cables and power management.

The campus is designed for AI from the first drawing. Its racks are planned at 120 to 140 kW, liquid cooled, three times a conventional air-cooled rack, so the electrical chain is planned for that density from the start, on a site with land to expand in later phases.

Who it suits

Manufacturers, suppliers and electrical contractors of:

  • Transformers
  • Switchgear, HT and LT panels, MCC and PCC panels
  • Bus ducts and busbar systems
  • UPS and power distribution units
  • Diesel generator sets
  • Battery and energy storage systems
  • Power and control cables
  • Earthing and lightning protection
  • Capacitors and variable frequency drives
  • Electrical installation and contracting

How it connects to the campus

Power: utilities, renewable producers, transmission and storage brings power to the site; this equipment carries it to every hall.
Liquid cooling serves the same high-density racks.
Logistics, installation, commissioning and maintenance installs and commissions the chain.
Automation and operations software monitors it once the campus runs.

What to show

At registration, one comparable supply or project in a sentence is enough: what you supplied or built, where, when and at what scale.

When procurement in this area begins: your product range and standards compliance, manufacturing location and capacity, reference installations in data centres or comparable industrial facilities, and service and spares arrangements in Tamil Nadu.

How to take part

  1. Register your interest

    Tell us about your organisation and your area of interest.

  2. A conversation

    We will arrange a confidential discussion to explore fit and opportunities.

  3. The data room

    Selected organisations will be invited to a data room with further information.

Selected organisations receive, through the data room, the load and reliability assumptions and the grid-study request for information.

Manufacturers, contractors and service providers who register now are known to the project's contractors and the project company when procurement in their area begins. Procurement is a recorded competitive process, run by the party that holds the contract.
