Schneider Electric is partnering with GreenScale, a next-generation sustainable data center platform, to support the development of its strategic sites in Europe. 

The collaboration will see Schneider Electric’s Secure Power and Services divisions provide technical engineering and design consultancy to GreenScale, helping improve predictability, accelerate deployment, and reduce operational risk by leveraging advanced automation, predictive analytics, and condition-based maintenance. GreenScale brings significant experience in data center operations, software, and digital twin technology, and will contribute a customer perspective on how infrastructure should be designed, deployed, and managed in practice. Together, the organizations will define new operationally enhanced AI-ready reference architectures.

GreenScale is developing data centers in new power-rich markets with strong renewable energy potential, with a focus on sustainability, positive community impact, and long-term regional investment. GreenScale’s partnership with Schneider Electric supports innovations including condition-based maintenance, digital twin integration, and enhanced remote monitoring and control capabilities. These help maintain efficient and reliable performance while minimizing service risk, enabling high operational standards, improved safety, and consistent performance across all locations.

Further, by partnering with Schneider Electric to develop the new, AI-ready reference architectures, GreenScale is embedding intelligence and automation into its designs. This includes using predictive analytics and condition-based maintenance to optimize asset performance, lower lifecycle costs, and enable more effective supply chain planning. These capabilities, particularly valuable in remote or emerging regions, improve uptime, reduce the risk of human error, and strengthen on-site operations teams, allowing them to focus on higher-value, targeted maintenance and interventions.

“As demand for AI, Cloud and HPC accelerates in Europe, data center operators must rethink how facilities are designed and managed,” said Dan Thomas, CEO, GreenScale. “Our work with Schneider Electric demonstrates how advanced data center architectures and digital innovation can unlock new levels of automation, efficiency and resilience, and will set a new standard for intelligent design to benefit our customers.”

“GreenScale’s vision for its European data centers represents a new era in advanced design, where automation, efficiency,  and real-time visibility are embedded from day one,” said Thierry Chamayou, VP, Cloud and Service Providers, Europe, Schneider Electric. “By combining expertise from our Secure Power and Services divisions, we are helping to create a resilient, AI-ready infrastructure platform that will operate efficiently even in the most demanding environments.”

A new era for intelligent design

GreenScale’s data centers are expected to play a key role in supporting the growth of sustainable AI and cloud infrastructure, setting a benchmark for next-generation data center design in Europe.

The collaboration with Schneider Electric supports the integration of a unified instrumentation, monitoring, and control stack that connects physical infrastructure with digital systems through sensors and intelligent, remote tracking. This holistic approach ensures that GreenScale's campuses support high-density AI clusters and cloud computing workloads, while maintaining unparalleled levels of performance and efficiency.
