TECfusions, a rapidly growing provider of advanced data center solutions, today announced that it has secured over $300 million to be used for the development and expansion of its Clarksville, Virginia site. This significant financial milestone, formalized on October 31, 2024, demonstrates the company’s innovative approach to data center development and ability to turn demand into tangible results.

In response to urgent capacity needs from a key tenant, gradual funding began in January 2024 and has now been solidified in a formal loan agreement, which includes the cumulative monies invested earlier. To date, $160 million has been allocated towards construction, with the remaining funds earmarked for completing Phase I of the Clarksville facility.

The Clarksville data center is TECfusions’ flagship facility, designed to meet the rapidly increasing demands of AI workloads with high-density compute power and one of the world’s largest GPU deployments. The phased build-out, projected to achieve 37.5 megawatts (MW) upon the completion of Hall D construction, has already met an impressive development timeline resulting in significant expansion of essential infrastructure. The adaptive reuse model TECfusions employs accelerates site-readiness, maximizing speed to market by converting existing facilities into state-of-the-art data centers.

“Funding from our dedicated investor will enable TECfusions to accelerate the buildout of our Clarksville site with scalable capacity,” said Simon Tusha, Founder and CTO of TECfusions. “Our Clarksville data center hosts one of the largest GPU clusters in the world, and we are proud to accelerate deployments for tenant commitments that sit the forefront of AI-ready infrastructure.”

The formalized loan agreement spans a fifteen-year term, solidifying TECfusions’ delivery commitments to meet Clarksville’s ambitious growth targets with continued build-outs. This funding represents a significant step forward in TECfusions’ strategy to build each project as an independently financed entity, ensuring financial sustainability across its entire portfolio.

“This agreement fully funds our Clarksville Phase I buildout and aligns perfectly with our long-term growth strategy, demonstrating the economic vitality of our approach and opening the doors for future expansion projects,” said Mike Picchi, CFO of TECfusions. “With tenants that require immediate, scalable data center capacity, this funding enables us to meet that demand efficiently to ensure rapid deployment of capacity for today’s digital world.”

Funds will be strategically allocated across several key initiatives, including AI-ready infrastructure deployment, on-site sustainable power generation solutions, and site infrastructure development. This investment is expected to have a significant positive impact on the local community, creating numerous jobs in construction and operations while substantially expanding the region’s digital infrastructure and tax base.

(CLARKSVILLE, VA, September 19, 2024): TECfusions, owner and operator of high-density data centers, today announced the completion of the third hall at its Clarksville facility. This milestone demonstrates TECfusions’ commitment to rapid deployment and innovative adaptive reuse strategies, setting a new standard for speed and efficiency in the data center industry.

The Clarksville data center project has progressed at an extraordinary pace since its inception. TECfusions acquired the site with 500kW of customer power load already live, then began their own construction in October, 2023, standing up 6 MW by the end of December. Through phased deployment, capacity grew to an impressive 24 MW by June 2024, with C-Hall contributing 10.5 MW to this total.

“The completion of C-Hall in just three months is a testament to our innovative approach and dedication to meeting the urgent demands of AI and high-performance computing,” stated Simon Tusha, Founder and CTO of TECfusions. “By leveraging adaptive reuse and deploying over 200 skilled workers around the clock, we’ve transformed a dormant industrial facility into a cutting-edge data center at unprecedented speed.”

The Clarksville facility showcases TECfusions’ ability to rapidly deliver AI-ready infrastructure. Plans for on-site microgrid power generation, alongside utility power, will bring the full site capacity to 220 MW; this data center is poised to meet the growing demands of AI workloads. The company’s proactive approach, including advance equipment purchases and effective manpower deployment, has been crucial in achieving these ambitious timelines.

“TECfusions’ investment in Clarksville will be a catalyst for economic growth in our region,” said James D. Jennings, Chairman, Mecklenburg County Board of Supervisors. “Their adaptive reuse strategy not only brings new life to existing infrastructure but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable development that aligns with our community’s values.”

“TECfusions’ expansion in our region marks a significant milestone in our community’s growth,” said Jeff Jones, Town Manager for the Town of Clarksville. “Their investment not only brings cutting-edge technology and job opportunities but also enhances our local economy. We look forward to having TECfusions as a long-term business partner in Clarksville. Their innovative technologies and experience will bring long term economic prosperity and sustainable growth in Virginia’s only Lakeside Town.”

“By transforming an abandoned industrial site into a state-of-the-art data center, TECfusions is not only meeting the urgent demand for digital infrastructure but also setting a benchmark for sustainable development in our industry,” added Steve Hershey, Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs at TECfusions. “This project exemplifies how adaptive reuse can drive innovation while minimizing environmental impact, paving the way for a greener future.”

Looking ahead, TECfusions plans to start construction on Clarksville’s D-Hall in September, 2024, which will add another 13.5 MW to the facility by the end of the year. This expansion will further solidify Clarksville’s position as a hub for technological innovation and sustainable data center operations.
