Turnkey microgrid and distributed energy systems for data centers and industrial facilities
Scale designs and finances complete microgrid installations—combining on-site power generation, energy storage, and optimization software—for data centers and large industrial customers. The tech stack reveals a sophisticated operations layer: Schneider Electric + Maximo for asset management, optimization engines (Pyomo, Gurobi, HiGHS), IoT protocols (MQTT, Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3), and grid standards (OpenADR). Heavy engineering hiring (16 of 27 open roles, mostly senior/director level) paired with active projects around data center architecture, simulation infrastructure, and fuel strategy signals aggressive scaling into hyperscale customers—though pain points around speed-to-power and customer acquisition suggest this segment remains competitive.
Notable leadership hires: Legal Director
Scale Microgrids is a vertically integrated energy solutions provider founded in 2016, headquartered in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The company serves data centers and large commercial/industrial facilities with complete microgrid systems: project design, engineering, operations, and financing. Their systems optimize multiple on-site resources (generation, storage, renewables) to improve reliability, reduce time-to-deployment, lower operating costs, and cut carbon emissions. The tech stack—spanning industrial controls (Ignition, Maximo), optimization algorithms (Gurobi, Pyomo), AWS IoT, and grid integration protocols—supports both design and real-time dispatch. With 51–200 employees and accelerating hiring focused on engineering and leadership, Scale is expanding capacity for larger deployments.
Scale uses Schneider Electric for industrial controls, Maximo for asset management, Pyomo and Gurobi for optimization algorithms, MQTT and Modbus for device communication, and AWS IoT for cloud connectivity. Ignition provides SCADA visualization; OpenADR and DNP3 enable grid integration.
Current projects include interconnection applications, energy + land development frameworks, solar and battery generator designs, simulation infrastructure for dispatch optimization, fuel procurement strategy, and on-site power systems for hyperscale data centers.
