SET Energy develops distributed, AI-ready data center campuses in industrial zones across the United States — pairing hybrid energy systems with modular infrastructure built for speed, resilience, and scale.
Target Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
Hybrid-Powered Uptime
Less Water via Closed-Loop Cooling
Lower Carbon vs. Conventional Campuses
Part of SET Enterprises — dedicated to Sustainable Economic Transitions — SET Energy develops distributed, AI-ready data center campuses in industrial zones across the United States. We pair hybrid energy systems with modular infrastructure to deliver capacity where it's needed — quickly, cleanly, and responsibly.
Rather than one monolithic megacampus, we develop campuses ranging from 25 to 200 MW — scaled to each site and community. As program developer and coordination lead, SET Energy aligns energy, engineering, environmental, and community workstreams — moving projects from feasibility to energization without losing sight of the people and places these campuses call home.
From siting to energization, SET Energy aligns the energy, infrastructure, and community work required to bring AI-ready campuses online — faster and more responsibly.
End-to-end planning and delivery of distributed data center campuses sited in industrial zones built for AI-scale demand.
Resilient, low-carbon power solutions that blend grid, on-site generation, and storage to meet always-on infrastructure demand.
Pre-engineered, repeatable modular builds that compress timelines without compromising on reliability or compliance.
Transparent, early, and ongoing collaboration with local stakeholders to build infrastructure that earns long-term support.
Rigorous permitting, environmental review, and regulatory alignment built into every phase of campus development.
Coordinated program management that keeps energy, construction, technology, and community workstreams moving in sync.
We build alongside best-in-class collaborators across technology, energy, finance, and growth — integrating ReadyPods' modular data centers with Modern Thermal Design's hybrid energy systems, and backed by trusted financial and development partners.
ReadyPods' prefabricated, containerized data centers are assembled on-site for rapid deployment — delivering 10MW per week and 500MW total capacity within four years.

SET Energy works hand-in-hand with our partners and the communities that host our campuses — turning underutilized industrial sites into high-performance data infrastructure that benefits everyone involved.
Every site, partner, and community is different. We tailor each engagement to one of three proven campus models.
Data buildings share the site with clean energy, green space, and a community & STEM center — infrastructure the community is glad to host.
A focused, build-fast campus of prefabricated ISO-container modules — online in weeks, scaling in increments with immersion cooling and hybrid power.
Smaller, distributed nodes sited close to where data is created and used — low-latency capacity for AI inference, content delivery, and local compute.
A satellite look at the industrial-zoned sites under evaluation across our development programs. The Calvert County, Maryland plan below is one example — pairing natural gas, renewables, and storage across a distributed network of campuses, built with ReadyPods and Modern Thermal Design.
Waterfront industrial parcels near the county's northern bay shoreline, positioned for light-industrial data infrastructure.
A mixed light- and heavy-industrial parcel near Owings with highway access for staging and modular delivery.
A heavy-industrial site in the Prince Frederick corridor — the county's commercial core and grid hub.
Mixed-industrial parcels along the southern highway corridor, with room to scale across multiple phases.
A light-industrial expansion parcel near the Route 2/4 corridor in Lusby, with gas-transmission pipeline access nearby.
A bayfront heavy-industrial parcel positioned to draw on established bayfront energy infrastructure and Cove Point natural gas for hybrid, always-on power.
An existing large-footprint industrial facility within Michigan's 2nd district, under evaluation for conversion to a distributed, AI-ready data campus.
