What the shared parts are
- Large power transformers (345–765 kV) & substations — Grid-scale transformers and switchyards that step transmission voltage down to what a data center campus can use, plus the substation civil works around them.
- Gas turbines (onsite / behind-the-meter) & HRSGs — Combustion turbines burning natural gas (or dual-fuel), paired with heat-recovery steam generators, used to generate power onsite or behind the meter at a data center campus.
- HV switchgear, GIS, breakers, protection relays — The high-voltage switching, protection, and fault-isolation gear between the substation transformers and the campus's medium-voltage distribution, including gas-insulated (GIS) designs for compact sites.
- SF6-free — Breaker and switchgear designs that replace the potent greenhouse gas SF6 as an insulating medium, offered as an alternative to conventional gas-insulated switchgear.
