Cordova is the first remote Alaskan community to integrate a modular data center into an existing microgrid powered primarily by renewable energy. The microgrid is over 100 years old and serves an isolated fishing community without access to roads. The microgrid is a run-of-the-river hydro, li-ion battery and diesel hybrid system. It relies upon 75% renewable resources and features among the lowest cost electricity in all of Alaska. In 2024, an edge data center from Greensparc was installed to improve digital communication for the entire community and to optimize operations of this cooperative utility. This panel will share the journey of Cordova – from first power to data center integration – and the facility’s operations results and lessons learned.
