Datacloud Global Congress 2025
A big thank you to everyone we met at Datacloud Global Congress 2025 in Cannes last week. What a week!
Watch the event highlights:
Whether you stopped by the booth or caught our message another way, we are grateful for the great conversations and shared insights.
“The power guys” – as we became known to many of you – because we are tackling the #1 challenge facing AI data centers right now.
“The message from Cannes was clear – the grid is now the biggest bottleneck for AI. We are here to help fix that” said Bernard Langley, Main Board Director at Langley, showcasing their behind-the-meter power solution.
At the event, we showcased Grid-Free Power – a modular, behind-the-meter solution delivering scaleable utility grade power.
Our Bergen Engines subsidiary secured its first AI data center deal at the show – a 130MW+ solution for an AI data center in the US for PPA provider, E-Finity Distributed Generation. Judging by the interest we saw last week, it will be the first of many.
“This project marks a turning point,” said William Langley, Main Board Director, Langley Holdings. “AI needs power now, and we’re delivering it, without waiting on the grid….”
The solution combines lean-burn medium-speed gas engine technology from Bergen Engines (formerly Rolls-Royce Bergen Engines) with Marelli Motori generators to provide fast, scalable behind-the meter-power.
The third member of our power solutions division is Piller Power Systems. Its technology is the Gold Standard for power quality, installed in ultra mission-critical data centers worldwide – including the London and New York Stock Exchanges, the Bank of England, the ECB, the Federal Reserve and the CIA.
Piller dynamic UPS technology is battery free and effortlessly handles AI load profiles in a way batteries simply can’t.
