Spencer Viernes and Rhea Williams discuss how Master Planned Digital Infrastructure Parks redefine power, partnership and community impact at scale
Spencer Viernes, CEO, and Rhea Williams, Co-Founder, launched E3 Platforms( E3) two years ago to address a widening gap between power supply and demand in the data centre sector.
The company develops what it calls Master-Planned Digital Infrastructure Parks( MDIPs) – large-scale industrial developments that combine land development, power generation and digital infrastructure on sites spanning over 1,000 acres.
“ Our core mission is to deploy a business model that benefits the digital infrastructure industry, especially where it sits today,” says Spencer.
“ There’ s a huge gap between where the supply of power capacity is and where the demand for it is – all while balancing that with the needs of the communities in which those digital infrastructure developers would deploy those specific projects.”
The company emerged from recognition that traditional development models no longer serve the data centre industry’ s needs. Rhea was working in Europe when power constraints began appearing in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London. Virginia started experiencing similar issues around the same time.
