Schneider Electric and its liquid cooling arm, Motivair by Schneider Electric, have completed a phased delivery of more than $290 million in AI infrastructure solutions for digital infrastructure firm TeraWulf, as demand for high-performance computing capacity accelerates across the artificial intelligence sector.
According to a statement on Monday, the deployment is centered on TeraWulf’s Lake Mariner campus in Barker, New York, a large-scale data center site designed to scale up to 750 megawatts of power demand once fully built out. The facility is being positioned as a next-generation AI and high-performance computing (HPC) hub, leveraging a legacy industrial site and existing grid infrastructure.

The project combines Schneider Electric’s integrated power systems with Motivair’s liquid cooling technologies to support dense AI workloads that require significantly higher energy and thermal management capabilities than traditional cloud computing environments.

TeraWulf is using the infrastructure rollout to accelerate expansion at the site while supporting long-term commitments from anchor tenants including Core42 and Fluidstack, which is backed by Google.
The Lake Mariner campus is expected to play a growing role in supplying compute capacity for AI model training and inference workloads, as operators face tightening constraints around power availability, cooling efficiency and deployment timelines — often described in the industry as the “time to power” challenge.

Schneider Electric said the deployment includes its Galaxy VX uninterruptible power supply systems, lithium-ion battery storage, and digital monitoring software, integrated alongside Motivair’s coolant distribution units, in-rack manifolds and advanced cooling architecture designed for high-density computing environments.

The companies said the project reflects a broader shift toward integrated infrastructure models that combine power, cooling and software-driven monitoring to speed up the development of AI-ready data centers.

TeraWulf has been expanding its focus from traditional energy infrastructure into AI and HPC hosting, positioning its Lake Mariner site as a strategic asset in the growing competition for large-scale compute capacity in the United States.

Schneider Electric said the collaboration demonstrates how legacy industrial locations can be converted into high-capacity digital infrastructure campuses capable of supporting the next wave of AI growth.
