Schneider Electric has released a new range of 2.5MW power modules aimed at hyperscale and AI data centers.

The power and cooling technology vendor says its new standardized and prefabricated power modules and power skids are “scalable, high-density power solutions designed for hyperscale, neocloud and colocation data center environments.”

Powered by Schneider Electric’s Galaxy VXL UPS technology, the modules are based on the company’s latest reference designs produced in conjunction with Nvidia, which include integrated power management and liquid cooling controls for the GPU giant’s GB300 NVL72 rack-scale platform for AI.

The modules and skids are available in 2MW, 2.25MW, and 2.5MW configurations, and Schneider says the 2.5MW version is the largest it has ever produced in terms of capacity.

By taking a standardized approach to prefabricated power infrastructure, Schneider argues it is simplifying the process of designing and building power systems, and says it can manufacture prefabricated power infrastructure in as little as six months.

“Today’s data center operators are under immense pressure to deploy AI-ready infrastructure faster, more efficiently and at greater scale,” said Tarunjeet Sarao, SVP for data center systems at Schneider Electric.

“By standardizing our prefabricated power systems, and incorporating our leading Galaxy VXL UPS technology, we are enabling hyperscale, neocloud and colocation providers to deploy scalable, high-density power infrastructure in months rather than years. This represents a major step forward in helping customers build the next generation of AI factories, AI hubs and large-scale digital infrastructure.”

The modules integrate Schneider Electric technologies including Galaxy VXL UPS, switchgear, cooling systems, lithium-ion battery technology, busway and power distribution systems within a factory-tested enclosure. Power skids “provide the same core electrical infrastructure in an open skid-based format designed for indoor deployment within grey space environments.”

Engineering, manufacturing, and testing of the modules is undertaken at Schneider Electric’s factory in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, which was recently expanded to support growing global demand for modular data center infrastructure, and now provides 5,000sqm (53,819 sq ft) of dedicated, production space.

Available immediately in Europe, Schneider Electric said the new power solutions will become available in North America later this year, followed by additional international markets and APAC.
