We’re excited to announce Blackstart Infrastructure Partners and OpenVPP are partnering to bring the world’s first Data Center on-chain. 🌐 linkedin.com/posts/openvpp_… Blackstart Infrastructure Partners, one of the largest data center developers, owners, and operators in the United States, brings deep expertise in deploying and managing critical energy intensive infrastructure. Last year the teams began exploring the potential for on-chain Data Centers as a flexible virtual power plant resource, transforming traditionally passive infrastructure into active grid assets. Founder and Managing Partner Chadwick Manning (Forbes 30 Under 30, Grist 50 Honoree) shared: “There is no AI without energy as the true currency. Turning data centers into flexible VPP resources allows them to operate as dynamic grid assets. We are excited to work with OpenVPP to directly orchestrate onsite microgrid systems, including energy storage and smart inverters, from interconnection through real time operations, especially during critical grid events.” This partnership and MOU represents a foundational step toward building programmable, decentralized energy infrastructure, where large scale compute and energy systems are seamlessly integrated, coordinated, and monetized in real time.
