Energy is the first constraint on AI. A model can be moved. Racks can be swapped. Megawatts cannot be produced by a software update.

Concept of a battery room: storage cabinets in rowsCONCEPT

Power is designed before anything else. Every other system follows the connection.

ArchitectureGrid, generation, storage and photovoltaics.

Leonardo da Vinci · Madrid Codices · Biblioteca Nacional de España

Grid connection, combined heat and power, storage and photovoltaics form one stack. The adit joins it as heat: water at 10–12 °C is a source for a heat pump in winter and free cooling in summer, never electricity. Each layer carries its own status and its own date. They are never added into a single number.

Documents · Technical overview · not yet published.

In Quedlinburg, on-site generation and grid connection are in place. Blankenburg's connection request was filed in March 2026 and is in review.

Control

Metering is continuous and per layer. A layer that is planned reports as planned.
