HIGH-DENSITY HYDRO®

IN NORTH AMERICA


The problem; our solution and potential locations.

The opprotunity from rising demand including from Data Centers


THE PROBLEM

The North American Power Grid Faces Critical Challenges

The North American continent is expected to face severe strain on its power grid within the next five years, and immediate action is essential to avoid potential disruptions.


A significant increase in peak demand is anticipated, driven by factors such as heatwaves, winter storms (resulting from climate change), economic expansion in major cities, demographic shifts, industry electrification, and the rapid growth of data centers.


The strain on the grid is expected to be intense, and as both energy generation and demand become increasingly decentralized, and the challenge will only intensify.


There is insufficient time to build enough new grid infrastructure or large-scale generation projects to meet this growing demand. While the number of new solar PV and wind power assets will rise rapidly, these renewable sources are inherently intermittent, necessitating a solution to address daily variability.


In the United States, there has been unprecedented investment in renewables and energy storage. Even before the recent surge in demand driven by data centers and industrial decarbonization, US projections estimated a need for 40–50x more utility-scale storage. That demand has only grown—with corporations now entering long-term agreements to purchase renewable energy when it’s available. 


THE SOLUTION

RheEnergise High-Density Hydro®
A Solution for Intermittency and Grid Resilience


RheEnergise has the solution: our High-Density Hydro® (HD Hydro®) long-duration energy storage technology. Utilizing our in house GIS capabilities and analysis of multiple US states and Canadian provinces, we have identified abundant opportunities for HD Hydro® projects, particularly near major cities and industrial areas.

How it Works



Our mission is to rapidly expand across the U.S. and Canada, ultimately deploying potentially thousands of projects across North America. Our goal is to make low-cost, low-carbon energy more widely available to consumers, while supporting grid reliability and accelerating the clean energy transition.

Ultra Low-Cost Energy Storage for Data Centers

HD Hydro® offers a robust solution to address the extreme challenges facing power grids.


These challenges include a projected 30% increase in peak power demand driven by several factors:


Intense heatwaves
Severe winter storms
THE EXPANSION OF DATA CENTERS
Economic growth
Demographic shifts
The electrification of industry


This combination of changes presents significant supply risks for consumers and industries across North America, with impacts predicted before 2030. While new solar PV installations can help alleviate daytime peak loads, they do not address the growing challenges during evening and morning hours.




A related EPRI survey of 25 utilities, including three from Canada and Europe, suggested that the power industry is already beginning to struggle with the integration of large new loads from data centers. The majority of responding utilities projected data center loads “to be a significant portion of their peak load in five years,” EPRI concluded.


Almost half of respondents predicted that 10% or more of their five-year forecasted peak will come from data centers. In addition, EPRI noted data center interconnection requests “are trending to larger sizes, with 60% of responding utilities having requests for 500 MW or large and 48% with requests for 1,000 MW or larger,” the survey reported.


  • Already, 26% of responding utilities said they experiencing operational impacts from connected data centers, including thermal violations and voltage violations, related to ramp issues.” Currently, there is no industry consensus on incorporating these loads into long-term forecasts, which complicates grid planning, EPRI noted.
