Edged Energy, a subsidiary of Endeavour and a specialist in net-zero data centre infrastructure, has begun construction on an advanced data centre in Aurora, Chicago, US.

Known as Aurora Tech Park, the campus will cover 65 acres and feature multiple buildings.

The design encompasses waterless cooling and energy-efficient systems, achieving a power usage effectiveness rating of 1.15 and handling high-density loads without water consumption.

Aurora mayor Richard Irvin said: “As we break ground for the new Aurora Tech Park, we are amplifying Aurora’s commitment to technology and innovation.

“Thank you to our partners at Seefried Properties, Edged Energy, and ComEd for your investment in Aurora.”

A ground-breaking ceremony was held and saw officials from Aurora, with Edged Energy, real estate developer Seefried Industrial Properties, and local utility provider ComEd in attendance.
