“We have an ambitious growth strategy with over 2,000 MW of capacity in development across our Clean Campuses, and significant capacity expected to come online in the year ahead,” said McNamara.

“Capitalizing on Lancium’s technological prowess, we will expand our clean energy business targeting those with intensive energy usage,” said Hanwha Solutions. “Providing renewable energy in an affordable and stable manner will help us achieve a carbon-free world.”

Lancium Clean Campuses are built at critical points on the transmission system that are often overwhelmed with renewable energy, and Lancium’s Smart Response™ software enables Clean Campuses to function as Controllable Load Resources (CLRs) to the electrical grid.

The company aims to become a leader in green, low-cost infrastructure that will power the next generation of cryptocurrency mining and other distributed energy-intensive applications.
