This solution, which acts as a &#8220;crucial bridge&#8221; in the energy transition, offers a fast and economically viable response, something that renewables alone cannot yet match in terms of speed of implementation. <\/p>\n\n<p>The rise of AI and Big Data has created a demand for power not seen in nearly two decades. Data center developers and hyperscalers need immediate, reliable and affordable power solutions. This is where the combined expertise of B&amp;W and Denham comes into play.  <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Power response time is a key factor for data center developers,&#8221; explained Justin DeAngelis, Global Head of Sustainable Infrastructure at Denham Capital. &#8220;This collaboration is a differentiating tool that will allow us to quickly meet the needs of the market.&#8221; DeAngelis added that Denham will not only invest substantially in these projects, but will also soon launch a portfolio company dedicated entirely to these solutions.  <\/p>\n\n<p>For its part, B&amp;W brings a wealth of industry knowledge to the table. With nearly 160 years of experience, the company is an expert in converting coal-fired power plants to natural gas. Kenneth Young, president and CEO of B&amp;W, highlighted his company&#8217;s unique ability to plan and execute complex projects, combining proven technologies with innovations to meet market demand.  <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;This alliance brings together two teams with extensive experience to quickly and effectively identify opportunities to leverage underutilized coal-fired power plants and provide affordable, reliable power to large-scale data centers,&#8221; Young said.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babcock.com\/home\/about\/corporate\/news\/babcock-and-wilcox-and-denham-capital-announce-strategic-partnership-to-convert-existing-coal-plants-to-power-data-centers-in-the-us-and-europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B&amp;W<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babcock &amp; Wilcox (B&amp;W), and Denham Capital are looking to repurpose existing coal-fired power plant infrastructure to meet the energy demands of the technology sector.
