Exowatt Launches Modular Energy Platform for AI Data Centers

Exowatt, a next-generation renewable energy company, announced the launch of its flagship product, the Exowatt P3, a groundbreaking modular energy solution designed to meet the growing power demands of data centers and energy-intensive industries. This announcement comes on the heels of Exowatt’s recent $20 million seed round funded by a16z, Atomic, and Sam Altman.

The Exowatt P3 is an innovative energy generation and storage solution, offering a versatile system that delivers both dispatchable electricity and high-temperature thermal energy. Its modular, scalable design makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, such as data centers and other commercial and industrial (C&I) applications.

The new Exowatt P3 features advanced technology capable of harnessing solar energy through specialized lenses and storing it in a long-duration, sensible heat battery. Designed to fit within a compact 40-foot shipping container footprint, this “install and forget” system ensures minimal maintenance, aligning with the operational demands of industries seeking to reduce energy expenses and environmental impact. The Exowatt P3 generates electricity at an industry-leading cost of just under 4 cents per kWh, providing a cost-effective renewable energy solution. With the ability to store energy for up to 24 hours of daily dispatch and quickly scalable for projects of varying size, the Exowatt P3 has the potential to reduce energy expenses by up to $35 million and cut CO2 emissions by 438,000 tons for the average data center project.
