A single advanced fab consumes 100MW+ of continuous power — equivalent to a small city. With $200B+ in new US fab investment driven by the CHIPS Act, energy is the critical bottleneck.
Behind-the-meter generation, battery storage, and microgrid systems for fabs that need 99.9999% uptime and can't depend on grid alone.
Machine learning that optimizes cleanroom HVAC, ultra-pure water systems, and process tool scheduling — reducing energy costs 15–25% without affecting yield.
Next-gen cleanroom cooling, waste heat recovery from process tools, and thermal energy storage — addressing the 30–40% of fab energy consumed by HVAC.
