For serious compute.
Yourservers.Ourpower.
Developing site, gas supply and permitted power packages for companies bringing their own server containers.
Discuss your deployment
Bring your container.
We’ll handle the power.
For GPU-as-a-service providers and hosted-compute operators, the server container is one part of the deployment. The field location, fuel supply, generation and permitting need to come together around it.
Industrial Advisory is actively developing power projects at oil and gas locations, working with wellsite owners and midstream companies to secure locations and gas supply contracts. You bring the container and servers; we develop the industrial power package.
Around 8.5 MW of permitted power per location is the target. Some sites may support more, others less. Final capacity and delivery depend on the site, gas supply, contracts and permitting.

The fuel.
The power.
Site & gas supply
Work with oil and gas wellsite owners and midstream companies to identify locations and secure site and gas supply agreements.
Generation & permitting
Develop the power generation package and environmental permitting around the location, fuel supply and required load.
Your container. Your compute.
You provide the server container and compute equipment. Industrial Advisory develops the location and power side of the deployment.

Scope.
Start with your container, power requirements, operating plan and deployment timeline.
Secure.
Work through the location, gas supply and commercial agreements with wellsite owners and midstream partners.
Permit.
Align generation, emissions and permitting with the site and load. Define the package and the path to delivery.
