Your Property
Thanks. We’ve received your property.
You May Already Own the Opportunity.
CRG evaluates commercial property compute infrastructure opportunities and other distributed energy uses that may create additional value from an existing property or campus. The evaluation considers available power, utility infrastructure, site characteristics, existing operations and potential development pathways.
Existing Commercial Properties
Warehouses, industrial buildings, offices and other commercial properties may have space, power and infrastructure characteristics that support new revenue-producing infrastructure.
Campuses & Large Sites
Colleges, universities, municipal properties, institutional campuses and larger sites may be candidates for microgrids, battery storage, on-site generation and resilient energy systems.
Power-Intensive Properties
Industrial facilities, manufacturing sites and other large power users may be evaluated for modular compute, battery energy storage systems, microgrids and related power infrastructure.
Not Every Opportunity Is a Massive Data Center.
CRG focuses on site-specific infrastructure. Depending on the property, the opportunity may involve modular compute, a microgrid, battery energy storage, on-site generation or a combination of technologies. The objective is to identify infrastructure that fits the site while preserving its existing use and minimizing disruption.
More Than Compute Infrastructure.
The right infrastructure solution depends on the property, available power, utility constraints, energy requirements, resilience goals and long-term development potential.
Modular Compute & AI Infrastructure
Site-specific compute infrastructure and modular data center opportunities for properties with suitable power and physical characteristics.
Commercial Microgrids
Localized energy systems that may combine generation, storage and controls to support reliability, resilience and large electrical loads.
Battery Energy Storage — BESS
Battery energy storage systems may support peak management, resilience, grid services and other site-specific energy strategies.
On-Site Generation
Evaluate on-site generation pathways where grid capacity, resilience or large-load requirements call for additional local energy resources.
Distributed Energy Resources
Solar, storage, generation and controls may be combined into a distributed energy strategy tailored to the property.
Resilient Power Infrastructure
Evaluate infrastructure intended to improve continuity of operations and energy resilience for critical facilities and campuses.
Power Feasibility
Review available power, substations, transmission, utility constraints and interconnection pathways before significant development capital is committed.
Integrated Energy Infrastructure
Some sites may support a combination of compute, microgrid, BESS, generation and other energy infrastructure rather than a single technology.

Compute, Microgrids, BESS & Energy Infrastructure
These answers explain the types of sites and infrastructure CRG evaluates. Every project remains subject to site-specific technical, utility, regulatory and commercial review.
What is commercial property compute infrastructure?
Commercial property compute infrastructure refers to computing and supporting power systems located at or associated with commercial properties. Depending on the site, this may include modular compute facilities, data center infrastructure, battery storage, microgrids and related electrical infrastructure.
What is a commercial microgrid?
A microgrid is a localized energy system that can coordinate generation, storage and electrical loads. Depending on its design, it may operate in conjunction with the utility grid and may also support certain loads independently during grid interruptions.
What is BESS?
BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage System. Battery storage can be integrated with commercial properties, microgrids, generation and large electrical loads depending on the site's technical and economic requirements.
Can colleges and universities use microgrids?
College and university campuses may be candidates for microgrids because they often contain multiple buildings, diverse electrical loads and facilities that may benefit from coordinated generation, storage and resilience planning.
Can municipalities and public facilities use microgrids or battery storage?
Municipal buildings, emergency facilities, water infrastructure and other public-sector sites may be candidates for microgrids, battery storage or on-site generation. Feasibility depends on the facility's electrical loads, utility infrastructure, resilience objectives and project requirements.
Does this require building a large traditional data center?
No. A qualifying property does not automatically require a hyperscale data center. CRG evaluates modular and site-specific infrastructure based on what the property can realistically support.
Can battery storage be combined with compute infrastructure?
Yes. Depending on the project design, battery storage may be evaluated alongside compute infrastructure, microgrids, renewable generation or other on-site energy resources.
What does CRG evaluate first?
CRG begins by reviewing the site's location, available power, nearby utility infrastructure, physical space, access, existing operations and overall development potential.
What happens after I submit a property?
CRG performs a preliminary site review. If the property appears to meet the initial criteria, the next step may include additional power, engineering, utility, commercial and development analysis.
