In a groundbreaking development for the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape in North America, CleanSpark, Inc., known as America’s Bitcoin Miner®, has announced its partnership with Submer, a leading name in sustainable AI data center solutions. This collaboration marks a significant step towards creating state-of-the-art infrastructure that integrates power generation, data center development, and AI service delivery.
The relationship is set to utilize CleanSpark's vast array of power and land assets along with Submer’s expertise in modular, liquid-cooled data centers to offer advanced AI solutions. Notably, the partnership already has over 1 GW of operational capacity within its portfolio and a pipeline that aims to exceed 2 GW. This ambitious initiative seeks to accelerate the scalability and sustainability of data center infrastructure, crucial for supporting the surging demands of AI processing.
Founded in 2015, Submer has established itself as an innovator in the sector, designing integrated solutions that not only enhance energy efficiency and sustainability but are modular by nature. Matt Schultz, CEO of CleanSpark, highlighted the strategic importance of combining their energy capabilities with Submer’s advanced cooling technologies, stating that this hybrid model positions them to deliver AI capacities at a gigawatt scale more efficiently than traditional infrastructures. He remarked, "This relationship perfectly aligns with our vision of transforming CleanSpark’s infrastructure into the backbone of the next era of intelligent computing."
From the perspective of Submer, Patrick Smets, CEO, pointed out that this collaboration is a vital movement towards scaling AI infrastructure worldwide. He acknowledged CleanSpark's unmatched expertise in strategic site development and operational delivery, which complements Submer's capacity to provide rapid deployment of high-density AI environments. Together, they envision shaping a robust industrial foundation essential for what he termed the 'Age of Intelligence'.
The partnership isn't just a merger of capabilities; it is also a forward-thinking approach to creating a new blueprints for high-performance, sustainable AI computing at scale. According to Jeffrey Thomas, CleanSpark’s Senior Vice President of AI Data Centers, working alongside established partners like Submer is indispensable for fostering strong client relationships. He further noted that Submer’s designs have already garnered approvals for a range of advanced reference architectures. The partnership is set to significantly bolster CleanSpark’s ability to scale swiftly because it builds upon their historically successful site development model.
As both companies acknowledge the rapidly evolving nature of AI infrastructure, they have entered into a non-binding framework to explore the ongoing potential for a definitive agreement concerning AI data centers in North America. The expansion into AI infrastructure plays well into CleanSpark's integrated operational approach and capacity to respond to the burgeoning global demand for digital infrastructure propelled by AI and compute-heavy applications.
CleanSpark operates a diverse portfolio, including over 1 GW of power, land, and data centers across the U.S., all fueled by exceptionally competitive energy prices. This strategic partnership aims to leverage CleanSpark's infrastructure optimization to produce compute resources vital to the future while simultaneously delivering significant returns to shareholders.
