Upon full buildout, the facility will feature a total critical IT capacity of 180 megawatts. The project will be constructed in two phases, with completion estimated in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Aligned Energy\u2019s Ashburn data center will be located at 22001 Loudoun County Parkway, an area with a very dense fiber network in place. The first phase of construction will occupy 370,000 square feet and deliver 80 megawatts. A second, 510,000-square-foot building will be added, with an additional 100 megawatts. The facility will provide tenants with cabinet power densities ranging from 1 to 50 kW, employing Aligned\u2019s patented data center cooling technology. The facility will have a build-to-scale approach and, depending on clients\u2019 needs, will be expandable up 240 megawatts.<\/p>\n<p>Tenants at the carrier-neutral facility will be able to tap into a vast network of service providers. More than 50 carriers are present near the campus. The facility is expected to run at a PUE of 1.15 and use 100 percent renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Our new Ashburn data center campus addresses the needs of cloud providers and hyperscalers that demand a highly dynamic, scalable and future-proof data center solution. Data centers are the new engines of innovation for the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century and we are delighted to provide Northern Virginia with an incredibly efficient and highly reliable colocation data center platform,<\/em>\u201d said Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned Energy, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Schaap spoke to <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>&nbsp;in March about what drives the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/4-things-to-know-about-phoenix-data-centers\/\">Phoenix data center market<\/a>.
