Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) and Ewyze Corp. have entered a cooperation agreement to jointly develop integrated off-grid power and data-center infrastructure, targeting the United States along with select international opportunities, according to a press release announcing the deal.
The companies say the partnership is meant to address AI and data-center power demand that is growing faster than traditional grid systems can accommodate. Ewyze's approach pairs solar generation and battery storage with a dispatchable power source — such as a grid connection, natural gas, or geothermal — to build dedicated microgrids alongside data center campuses. According to the release, this model can bring projects online in roughly two to three years from initiation, compared with grid interconnection queues that can stretch five to ten years in parts of the US.
Under the deal, Zeo and Ewyze intend to cooperate across the full project lifecycle: site identification, land acquisition, permitting, regulatory approvals, engineering, construction, financing, and commercialization with data-center operators.
"The demand for AI-capable compute infrastructure...is growing faster than traditional grid systems can accommodate," said Zeo CEO Timothy Bridgewater. Ewyze CEO Svante Kumlin added, "The artificial intelligence revolution is fundamentally a power challenge."
Zeo Energy is a provider of residential solar and commercial long-duration energy-storage solutions, operating under its Sunergy and Heliogen brands. Ewyze describes itself as an energy and digital infrastructure platform with more than 18 years of renewable energy development experience, having developed approximately 1.7 GW of renewable power internationally.
