NEWS ROUNDUP

FINANCING: QTS seeks $510 million in financing. QTS Data Centers is seeking a $510 million financing package backed by three data centers in Phoenix and Richmond, Virginia. KeyBank National Association is serving as servicer, Wilmington Trust is the indenture trustee, and TD Securities is arranging the loan.

PARTNERSHIP: InfraPartners and Emerald AI create partnership. InfraPartners and Emerald AI have partnered to create a new data center design called “Flex-Ready Data Centers,” aimed at supporting AI infrastructure while lowering energy costs, improving sustainability, and helping data centers work more closely with the power grid. Bal Aujla, director and head of advanced research and engineering at InfraPartners, said power access has become a major constraint for AI infrastructure and that smarter systems are needed to unlock more usable capacity. Ayse Coskun, chief scientist at Emerald AI, said the partnership can help turn data centers from passive power users into flexible grid-supporting assets.

PEOPLE MOVES: Pure DC appoints interim CEO. Pure Data Centres has named former CyrusOne CEO Gary Wojtaszek as executive chairman and interim CEO, replacing Dame Dawn Childs, who is stepping down from the CEO role and becoming president of the company.

SOLAR: Creekstone Energy receives approval for solar project. Millard County officials have approved zoning for Creekstone Energy to develop a solar project on 13,000 acres of Utah state trust land to help power its planned Delta Gigasite hyperscale data center campus in Delta, Utah. Ray Conley, CEO of Creekstone Energy, said the company is building not just a data center campus but a broader energy ecosystem, pairing more than 1 gigawatt of dedicated solar generation with hyperscale infrastructure. Chase Sheffield, COO of Creekstone Energy, said the combination of leased land, zoning approval, and existing energy infrastructure creates a hard-to-replicate development corridor and allows Creekstone to build a solar portfolio that can materially offset hyperscale tenant power demand.
